PPF in Charleston: common questions

Who are the best PPF installers in Charleston?

Our top three right now are Extreme Auto Spa, AutoStyle and Sun Stoppers Charleston. Brand certification, posted prices and Google reviews decide the order. No shop can pay to rank.

How much does PPF cost?

Across the US, the middle half of advertised PPF prices runs from $1,199 to $3,800, with a median of $1,999 (128 shops, September 2026). Coverage drives the price: a partial front costs far less than a full car.

Is clear bra the same as PPF?

Yes. Clear bra, paint protection film and PPF all name the same clear urethane film. "Clear bra" comes from the vinyl front-end covers it replaced, and many shops still use it.

Which paint protection films do Charleston shops install?

XPEL (11 shops), 3M (3 shops), STEK (1 shop), SunTek (1 shop) and LLumar (1 shop). Some of these are confirmed on the film maker's own installer list; the rest name the film on their own websites.

Should I get PPF or ceramic coating in Charleston?

Film stops rock chips and light scratches; a coating does not. A coating makes the paint easier to wash and keeps the gloss. Many owners film the front of the car and coat the rest, and 20 of the film shops here also apply coatings.

  • What a quote should spell outThe lines that separate a real quote from a number: correction stages, the warranty terms, what happens if it fails.
  • Aftercare that changes the outcomeThe few things that decide whether a coating reaches its term, and the ordinary products that quietly end it early.
