<p class="has-text-align-center has-large-font-size">Preserve the Showroom Shine </p>



<p>The sleek and polished exterior of your Rivian truck is a sight to behold. Its curves and lines deserve to shine as brilliantly as they did on the showroom floor. However, the road can be unforgiving, with debris, rocks, and even insects posing a threat to your truck&#8217;s flawless finish. Our Paint Protection Film acts as an invisible shield, guarding your vehicle from these potential damages without compromising its appearance. </p>



<p class="has-text-align-center has-large-font-size">Defend Against Everyday Hazards</p>



<p>Daily driving exposes your Rivian truck to various hazards. From gravel and sand kicked up by other vehicles to door dings and scratches in parking lots, the wear and tear can add up quickly. Paint protection film provides a robust layer of defense against these common challenges. It absorbs impacts and resists scratches, ensuring that your truck stays free from unsightly blemishes. </p>



<p class="has-text-align-center has-large-font-size">Preserve Resale Value</p>



<p>Rivian trucks are more than just modes of transportation; they&#8217;re investments. Whether you plan to keep your truck for years or eventually sell it, maintaining its resale value is essential. A well-maintained exterior plays a significant role in determining the value of your vehicle. With our Paint Protection Film, you&#8217;re not only safeguarding your truck&#8217;s appearance but also its financial worth. </p>



<p class="has-text-align-center has-large-font-size">Seamless and Custom Fit</p>



<p>One of the concerns with adding protection to a vehicle is altering its original appearance. However, our Paint Protection Film is designed to be nearly invisible once applied. It conforms to the contours of your Rivian truck seamlessly, maintaining the original look while providing unparalleled protection. Our technicians ensure a custom fit for every inch of your vehicle, leaving no area vulnerable to potential damage. </p>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">So you just bought a new car and want to keep it looking brand new everyday?&nbsp; First step is to protect that paint so you hop online and you’ll narrow your two options down to ceramic coating and paint protection film.&nbsp; Both of these options carry a high price tag so which should you go with? Let’s discuss the pros and cons of both ceramic coating and PPF (clear bra) first.</span>

&nbsp;
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Paint Protection Film Pros and Cons</span></h2>
&nbsp;
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="https://www.xpel.com/shop/paint-protection-film/ultimate-plus">XPEL Ultimate Plus PPF</a></span></h2>
&nbsp;
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pros:</span></h3>
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Protects against most rock chips with less force (more details <a href="https://monsterautolab.ca/paint-protection-film/">here</a>)</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">10 year warranty on the film (more details&nbsp;<a href="https://monsterautolab.ca/faq/#paintprotectionfilmfaq">here</a>)</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Self healing properties means minor scratches and surface damage will correct itself with light heat</span></li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cons</span></h3>
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Protecting the entire vehicle can cost upwards of $5,000</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The outside edge of the film is visible from 1 foot away</span></li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h2></h2>
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ceramic Pro Coating</span></h2>
&nbsp;
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Pros</span></h3>
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ease of maintenance with hydrophobic quality.&nbsp; Washing your car after ceramic coating can be done with just a hose and light wipe down to dry.</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Varying warranty length depending on the amount of coats and hardness applied</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cheaper than clear bra for full vehicle package</span></li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cons</span></h3>
<ul>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Doesn’t protect as well against rock chips and scratches compared to Xpel PPF</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Less warranty duration than film</span></li>
 	<li style="font-weight: 400;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Removal is performed with wet sanding</span></li>
</ul>
&nbsp;
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cost&nbsp;</span></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Cost is the biggest decision maker for these products.&nbsp; Due to the various packages of ceramic coating and PPF and size of vehicles, we’ll try to keep it all consistent in this analysis.&nbsp; We’ll use a subcompact car for cost examples.</span>
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Paint Protection Film Cost</span></h3>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The PPF cost for an entry package is a partial front end protection package.&nbsp; This protects the following body parts, quarter of the hood and fenders, full bumper, and side mirror.&nbsp; The cost of the partial front end package is typically $1,000.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span>

&nbsp;
<h3><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ceramic Coating Cost</span></h3>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The entry level package for ceramic coating is a 1 layer coat and this is applied on all painted surfaces.&nbsp; 1 layer of ceramic coating should last for 3 years.</span>

&nbsp;
<h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Thoughts On Ceramic Coating vs Paint Protection Film</span></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">After reviewing all of that info, we recommend adding both packages to your vehicle and here’s how.&nbsp; Our suggestion is to opt for a full front end paint protection film package and the standard ceramic pro coating.&nbsp; This package will set you back $3000 but you’ll get the ultimate protection to keep your vehicle looking brand new.&nbsp; Remember to have the clear bra installed first before applying ceramic coating.&nbsp;</span>
