BMW Paint Protection (PPF & Ceramic Coating) In Wiltshire & Bath

It depends on what you want to protect against most:

– PPF is best if you want protection from stone chips and impacts.
– Ceramic coating is best if you want easier maintenance, stronger gloss, and better resistance to water spotting and contamination, but it won’t stop stone chips.
– PPF + ceramic is the best all-round option if you want impact protection plus easier cleaning and a consistent finish across the whole car.

A ceramic coating won’t prevent stone chips, gravel rash, scratches, or swirl marks. If your goal is protection from physical impact and abrasion, paint protection film (PPF) is the solution.

If chips are your concern, start with front-end PPF, then add ceramic for the rest.

On UK roads, the most chip-prone areas are typically the front bumper, bonnet, front wings, sills, and mirror caps—especially if you do a lot of motorway or A-road miles. That’s why our BMW PPF options focus on front-end coverage (partial or full) and scale up to full-body protection for maximum peace of mind.

Custom: choose specific panels
Full Frontal: most common high-impact front coverage
Performance: broader impact-zone protection
Full Car: maximum protection on all painted surfaces

Xpel Stealth PPF is the perfect choice for those looking to transform their BMW’s gloss appearance to a matte finish while keeping it protected.

See this BMW M3, which has been converted to a matte finish using paint protection film.

Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a thermoplastic polyurethane material that can be directly applied onto your car’s exterior painted surface. It helps to preserve the quality of your vehicle’s paint job by reducing the risk of damage, including:

– Chips and scratches caused by stones, road debris & vandalism
– Swirl marks from routine washing & drying
– Chemical stains & etching caused by acidic contaminants
– Oxidation (fading) from UV exposure

Prices start from £450 + VAT for a front bumper, £1400 + VAT for front end, and £4000 + VAT for full coverage.

PPF lasts 10 -12 years (manufacturer dependent) with proper care; XPEL includes a 10-year warranty.

A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that forms a microscopic protective layer over your paint. It bonds to your Tesla’s clear coat and creates a hydrophobic surface that helps contaminants release more easily — keeping the car cleaner for longer and making washing easier.

It can also help protect against:

– Chemical staining
– Chemical etch marks
– Fading from UV exposure

With proper maintenance, ceramic coatings typically last two to nine years, depending on the coating used. Annual mileage, environmental conditions, and washing routine can all affect lifespan.

No. A ceramic coating won’t prevent stone chips, gravel rash, scratches, or swirl marks. If your goal is protection from physical impact and abrasion, paint protection film (PPF) is the solution.

If chips are your concern, start with front-end PPF, then add ceramic for the rest.

Pricing depends on vehicle size and paint condition. A 5-year ceramic coating starts at £490 + VAT with a single-stage machine polish on a BMW 1 Series.
