Protection tailored to how your Audi is driven
An Audi used for a daily commute, an RS6 covering motorway miles and an R8 driven occasionally will not necessarily benefit from the same coverage. We build each package around the model, mileage, roads and finish—whether that means Full Frontal PPF for direct impact areas, extended Performance protection for the sills and lower doors, or Full Car XPEL film for maximum preservation.
A Gtechniq ceramic coating provides a different type of protection. It will not stop stone chips, but it creates a durable, hydrophobic surface that helps resist bird lime, tree sap, road salt and everyday contamination while enhancing gloss and making the car easier to maintain.
For broader protection, XPEL paint protection film can be applied to the high-impact areas, with a five-year Gtechniq ceramic coating across the remaining paintwork and Gtechniq Halo over the film. Every Audi is inspected and prepared first, with only the paint correction its condition requires.
Choose the right protection for your Audi
Ceramic coating, paint protection film or both. Tell us which Audi you drive, its mileage and how its used and we’ll recommend the right protection.
01 Gloss and easy cleaning
Ceramic Coating
Machine-polished paintwork finished with Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light for deep gloss, easier maintenance and a five-year guarantee. From £490 + VAT.
02 Physical impact protection
Paint Protection Film
Virtually invisible self-healing XPEL film that absorbs stone chips, scratches and road debris. Coverage ranges from Full Frontal protection for the most vulnerable panels to complete-car coverage, from £1,400 + VAT.
03 The most complete option
PPF & Ceramic Combined
XPEL PPF protects the panels most exposed to stone chips and road debris, with a five-year Gtechniq ceramic coating across the remaining paintwork and Gtechniq Halo over the film. Combined packages are discounted, with greater savings as PPF coverage increases.
What each Audi PPF package covers
The diagrams show the panels protected by each PPF package. Prices start from the figures shown and depend on the model — an A1 sits at the lower end of the range, a Q7 at the higher.
01 The essential protection
Full Frontal
Front bumper, full bonnet, front wings, mirror caps and headlights — the panels that take the brunt of the road.
from £1,400 + VAT
02 Our most requested coverage
Performance
Full frontal coverage plus A-pillars, sills, lower doors and luggage-area protection — the areas that pick up damage day to day.
from £1,900 + VAT
03 Complete exterior protection
Full Car
Every exterior painted panel in clear gloss XPEL Ultimate Plus, with the original Audi finish preserved underneath.
from £4,000 + VAT
Coverage can also be tailored to your Audi, including individual panels, bespoke impact areas and XPEL Stealth for a complete satin-finish conversion. Full Car pricing is based on the painted area, so vehicles with a panoramic glass roof may cost less than equivalent models with a painted roof. See recent work: RS3 Carbon Vorsprung · RS e-tron GT.
XPEL Stealth
Transform your Audi with satin-finish XPEL Stealth
XPEL Stealth is a satin-finish paint protection film that transforms your Audi’s appearance while protecting the paint against stone chips, road debris and light scratches.
Unlike a respray, the original gloss paint remains protected underneath and the conversion is reversible. Stealth can be applied to the whole car or selected panels, with Gtechniq Halo available as an optional upgrade for greater water repellency and easier maintenance.
How we protect your Audi
Protection is only as good as the surface beneath it. Every Audi is inspected and prepared at our studio before protection is applied. Where PPF is selected, film patterns are computer-cut on site using XPEL DAP rather than cut on the vehicle.
01
Assessment
Paint condition, mileage and how the car is used, so the right level of protection is recommended.
02
Preparation
Safe wash, chemical decontamination and machine polishing where the paint needs it — never more than necessary.
03
Installation
XPEL film is fitted using computer-cut patterns, with edges wrapped and tucked wherever the panel design allows. Gtechniq coating is then applied where selected.
04
Final inspection
The finish is checked under specialist lighting, coatings are allowed to cure where fitted, and the Audi is returned with detailed aftercare guidance.

Audi paint protection FAQs
How much does PPF cost for an Audi?
Prices start from £450 + VAT for the front bumper alone, £1,400 + VAT for Full Frontal coverage, £1,900 + VAT for our most requested Performance package and £4,000 + VAT for the full car.
The final figure depends on the model — an A1 sits at the lower end of the range and a Q7 at the higher, and full coverage is priced on painted area. Individual panels and bespoke coverage can also be quoted.
How much does ceramic coating cost for an Audi?
Audi ceramic coating starts from £490 + VAT. This includes paintwork preparation, a Level 1 Enhancement machine polish and Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light with a five-year manufacturer’s guarantee.
The final price depends on vehicle size and the level of correction required, so an A1 sits at the lower end of the range and a Q7 at the higher. Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra, with a nine-year manufacturer’s guarantee, is also available as an upgrade.
Which areas of an Audi are most likely to chip?
On UK roads the front bumper, bonnet, front wings, sills and mirror caps take the most damage, particularly if you cover motorway and A-road miles.
That is why coverage usually starts at the front of the car and scales up from there, rather than beginning with the whole vehicle.
Can paint protection film change a gloss Audi to satin?
Yes. XPEL Stealth is a satin-finish paint protection film that transforms gloss paintwork into a consistent satin appearance while protecting it against stone chips, road debris and light scratches. Because the finish is created by the film, the original gloss paint remains protected underneath and the conversion is reversible.
Read more about XPEL Stealth matte paint protection film.
Does a brand-new Audi need machine polishing?
A new Audi can arrive with transport contamination, adhesive residue, dealership wash marks, haze or minor paint defects.
We only carry out the level of polishing required to refine the finish and prepare it correctly, avoiding unnecessary correction on new paintwork.
Should I choose ceramic coating or paint protection film?
Ceramic coating enhances gloss, improves chemical resistance and makes routine washing easier, but it does not prevent stone chips.
Paint protection film provides a physical, self-healing barrier against stone chips, road debris and light scratches. The best choice depends on how the vehicle will be used and the areas most at risk.
How long will the work take?
A ceramic-coating-only package usually takes one to two days, allowing time for preparation, application and initial curing. Paint protection film and combination packages may require several days depending on the vehicle and coverage selected.
We will confirm the expected completion time when providing your quotation.
What warranties are included?
Gtechniq Crystal Serum Light is backed by a five-year manufacturer’s Guarantee, while Crystal Serum Ultra is backed by a nine-year guarantee. XPEL paint protection film is backed by a 10-year manufacturer’s warranty.
Registration, maintenance, inspection requirements, terms and exclusions apply to each product.
