A hot topic throughout the car enhancement community, especially with Tesla owners, is how to protect your investment in the long run. With so many aftermarket products available with a dramatic price range, it can be difficult to which is worth it and which is just a waste of your hard-earned cash. Here at Jet Black Tint and Glass in Redwood City, we modify, enhance, and correct hundreds of luxury cars and Teslas each year, and our technicians are here to share some valuable advice with Bay Area Tesla owners. It really does pay to protect your car with paint protection film in Central California. Join us as we discuss just a few of the reasons why.
The number one reason that Bay Area Tesla owners choose to invest in paint protection film is that it actually saves them significant money over the life of the car. Much like a durable truck bed liner saves truck owners thousands of dollars by avoiding paint repairs and preventing rust and trauma before it occurs, paint protection film offers the same protection to Tesla cars, but is completely transparent. Installing protective films on your car pays off over time and will be appreciated the first time your car doesn’t bear a hint of fading or scratches from parking in public. Redoing or repairing your Tesla’s paint job can be expensive enough that a single repair makes the initial investment worth it.
Consistent exposure to the intense California sun rays can cause fading, leaving your paint job looking lackluster. Paint protection film’s unique chemical makeup blocks harmful UV rays while remaining transparent and resisting color-warping and preventing fading of the surface beneath the film. Sun fading is a common problem for Bay Area car owners and a paint repair or vehicle repaint carries a pretty hefty price tag. For Redwood City Tesla owners, Jet Black Tint and Glass is here to offer fade protection with affordable PPF.
Everyone loves a car with a showroom floor sheen that looks like the ink on the sale paperwork is still wet. However, as all car owners can commiserate, the shine fades with time, and you need to wash or wax frequently to restore the luster on a car that is used regularly. Paint protection film offers a barrier between your Tesla’s paint and the environment that threatens its sheen. If dirt, bird droppings, or pollen sticks to the film, you can easily wipe it away without undertaking a complete exterior detail. PPF reduces your car maintenance time and produces better results.
For anyone who has lived in Central California for a minute, you likely already know how abrasive and toxic the environment can be here. With one of the highest rates of air and water pollution in the nation, nothing is spared from corrosive chemical reactions. Sand, salt, acid rain, bird droppings, and pollution combine in a disastrous combination to erode your Tesla and rust your undercarriage. Paint protection film provides a thick but transparent barrier between your Tesla’s paint and the Bay Area chemicals that seek to destroy it. Where some areas may be well served with a clear bra, Central California climate and conditions nearly require full car PPF.
Anything that you do from the moment you complete the sale paperwork when you purchase your Tesla to the moment you hand over the keys to the new owner influences your resale value. There are things you’ll do to your Tesla to make it your own without regard to how it affects the resale value, but It is critical to keep depreciation in mind when you invest in any long-term products or services. Professionally installed paint protection film (PPF), for instance, helps to maintain your overall resale value in a few ways. First, it helps keep the car in top condition which appeals to personal buyers as well as positively influences trade-in value. Most buyers prefer immaculate vehicles, and paint is a critical part of the first impression. PPF prevents scratches, fading, and corrosion, keeping your Tesla in a like-new condition for much longer. Secondly, most car enthusiasts are well aware of both the monetary value as well as the long-term benefits PPF have for a car and are willing to pay more for a car that has protective film installed.
One of the best parts about the durability of paint protection film is that it doesn’t look like a shell on your car, but rather is completely transparent, silently doing its job well. Historically, colored bras were the in look, especially on race cars. However, colored car bras went out of style with CD collections. If applied correctly, the transparent films are almost invisible and are virtually undetectable when you hire the PPF professionals at Jet Black Tint and Glass in Redwood City.
There is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to paint protection film and PPF can be used on any vehicle make and model with any custom modifications or aftermarket accessory additions. PPF is a precision laser cut based on your Tesla body’s precise measurements for an exact fit that doesn’t overlap, bubble, or leave gaps.
Paint protection film is an incredible investment that pays for itself over time and keeps your Tesla looking the way it did when you drove it off the showroom floor. It works well with any other modification or enhancement service you get including window tint (complimentary at Jet Black Tint and Glass!), chrome delete, headlight tint, and smoked taillights, or use PPF to seal in custom paint jobs, car wraps, and more!
