How much does paint protection film cost in Oregon?
In Southern Oregon, PPF pricing typically runs from $1,200 for partial-front coverage to $8,500+ at the top end for a full-vehicle wrap. The most popular package — Full Front PPF — starts at $1,999 and covers the entire hood, fenders, bumper, mirrors and headlights. Vehicle size, paint complexity, and the brand of film all affect final pricing. Every Wash Buggy quote is built in person, free, with no obligation.
Paint Protection Film vs Ceramic Coating — what's the difference?
PPF is a physical urethane film that absorbs rock chips, road debris, scratches and minor impacts. Ceramic coating is a chemical layer that protects against UV, chemical stains, water spots and oxidation — but it will not stop a rock chip. The right answer for most Southern Oregon owners is both: PPF on high-impact body panels, ceramic coating over the top and on the rest of the car. We bundle the two for a meaningful discount.
Is paint protection film worth it?
For any vehicle that sees I-5, Highway 62, Highway 199 or the unpaved roads from Crater Lake to the Applegate, the answer is yes. A single rock chip repair on a modern repaint costs $400–$900. A full Front PPF at $1,999 protects the entire front end for 10 years. Beyond cost, PPF preserves resale value — original factory paint sells for thousands more than a repainted hood.
How long does PPF last?
Quality TPU paint protection film carries a 10-year manufacturer warranty against yellowing, cracking and peeling. With proper maintenance, real-world life is often 10–12 years. The film is self-healing — minor scratches and swirl marks disappear with heat from the sun, warm water, or a hair dryer.
Should I install PPF on a brand new vehicle?
Yes — and the sooner the better. Factory paint hasn't had time to accumulate swirl marks, bug etching, or rock chips. Installing PPF on new paint locks in that flawless finish for the next decade. We routinely take direct deliveries from local dealers before clients ever drive the vehicle home.
Will PPF damage my paint when removed?
No. Quality PPF is engineered to be removable without damaging factory clear coat. Installed correctly on factory paint, it lifts off cleanly. We have never damaged paint on a removal — and we remove a lot of older, lower-quality film installed by other shops.
Can PPF be installed over a repainted panel?
Over a freshly painted panel, we require a minimum 30-day cure window before install. We walk every paint correction or repaint customer through this during the consultation.
How long does installation take?
Partial Front: 1 day. Full Front: 2 days. Track Pack: 1.5 days. Full Vehicle: 4–5 days. Your vehicle stays indoors at our climate-controlled Medford studio the entire time. We schedule one vehicle per bay so quality is never rushed.
Do you serve Ashland, Grants Pass and Jacksonville?
Yes — clients come to us from across Southern Oregon. We offer free local pickup and delivery within Medford, Phoenix, Talent, Central Point and Ashland on most full installs.
What brand of PPF do you install?
We exclusively install premium TPU films from top-tier manufacturers, backed by a 10-year written warranty. We do not install budget TPH or PVC films — they yellow, crack, and fail in Oregon's summer UV.
