STEK Gloss paint protection film — the most advanced PPF available. Packages starting at $1,299 for sedans. Clear, satin, and colored finishes with a lifetime warranty. Protect your paint from rock chips, scratches, and road debris.
Every drive exposes your vehicle's paint to rock chips, road debris, bird droppings, tree sap, and harmful UV rays that fade and damage the clear coat. Paint Protection Film (PPF) is the most effective solution available to preserve your vehicle's finish and protect your investment. Compass Window Tinting specializes in professional PPF installation using STEK Gloss — one of the highest-rated films in the industry.
PPF creates a durable, impact-resistant barrier that absorbs the force of road hazards. Gravel, stone chips, and road debris that would normally cause deep scratches and paint damage bounce off the film instead. This is especially critical for front bumpers, hoods, fenders, and headlights — areas that take the most impact from highway driving. A single rock chip repair can cost $300-$500 or more. PPF prevents those chips from reaching your paint in the first place.
STEK Gloss features advanced self-healing clear coat technology. Minor scratches, swirl marks, and light scuffs automatically disappear when the film is warmed by sunlight or heat. This keeps your PPF looking crystal clear without visible damage, even after months of regular driving and washing.
PPF is optically clear and virtually undetectable when professionally installed. The film seamlessly blends with your paint, maintaining your car's original appearance and color. No hazy, yellowish, or milky look — just pure protection. Your vehicle looks exactly like it did before installation, with invisible armor protecting the paint beneath.
STEK Gloss is backed by a lifetime warranty covering yellowing, peeling, bubbling, and edge lifting. This means long-term protection without worrying about your investment fading or failing. Compared to the cost of repainting panels or living with permanent damage, PPF offers unbeatable value.
A vehicle with protected, pristine paint is worth significantly more at resale or trade-in than one with chips, scratches, and faded clear coat. PPF preserves paint condition and helps you maintain higher resale value. Buyers recognize PPF-protected vehicles as better-maintained, which increases their willingness to pay.
STEK Gloss PPF is available in three distinct finish types, giving you the ability to protect AND customize your vehicle's appearance simultaneously.
The classic choice. STEK Gloss Clear is virtually invisible on your paint, maintaining your factory finish while providing maximum impact resistance and self-healing capability. Perfect for protecting your original paint color without any aesthetic change. Available at all coverage levels.
STEK Gloss Satin PPF applies a beautiful, consistent matte satin finish over your existing paint. It protects your paint while simultaneously giving your vehicle a premium, modern aesthetic without a full vinyl wrap or expensive matte paint job. Reversible — peel off to restore original gloss finish.
STEK Gloss Colored PPF provides paint-change capability with the protection advantages of PPF. Available in a range of colors and finishes, colored PPF is reversible and protects the original paint underneath while displaying a new color on top. The best of both worlds.
We offer four STEK Gloss PPF packages to fit every need and budget. Each package includes professional installation with precision computer-cut patterns and lifetime warranty coverage. Prices shown are starting prices for sedans — SUVs and trucks may vary. Contact us for a custom quote.

Yes — that is PPF's primary purpose. The film is designed to absorb impact from road debris, rock chips, and gravel that would otherwise damage your paint. It stops the vast majority of road hazards from reaching your clear coat. Especially important for highway drivers and those in mountainous or construction areas.
Absolutely yes, and we highly recommend it. Ceramic coating applied over PPF creates a superior protection system. The ceramic adds gloss, makes cleaning easier, provides additional UV protection, and protects the PPF film itself. Many of our customers get both PPF and ceramic coating for maximum protection and appearance.
Partial front coverage typically takes 4-6 hours, full front coverage takes 6-8 hours, and full body coverage can take 12-16 hours spread across multiple days. We schedule appointments at your convenience and often work during business hours to minimize downtime.
No. Professional PPF removal causes no damage when performed correctly. We use specialized removal techniques and heat application to safely lift the film without harming your clear coat. Your paint remains in the same condition it was when the film was applied — this is one of the biggest advantages of PPF over permanent modifications.
Yes, absolutely. New cars benefit most from PPF because you're protecting paint that hasn't yet suffered UV damage, oxidation, or scratches. Installing PPF on a new vehicle preserves the new car finish, protects your resale value, and costs far less than paint correction or repainting later.
PPF and clear bra are the same thing. "Clear bra" is an older term for paint protection film, often referring specifically to partial front coverage. Today, PPF describes the same product at any coverage level from partial to full body. The terms are interchangeable, though "PPF" is the standard industry term.
