Shamrock Detailing & Ceramic Coating installs Ceramic Pro Urban Film, a gloss thermoplastic urethane (TPU) layer about 7.3 mils thick, designed for daily drivers. Its self-healing top coat clears light scratches and swirl marks with heat, and the film resists stains and chemical damage from bird droppings, tree sap, and road salt.
We offer 1–3 stage paint correction in Plain City for panels that need prep before PPF installation. IDA-certified technicians measure clear-coat depth with a paint thickness gauge first, then remove swirl marks and light scratches so the film does not seal defects underneath.
New Paragraph
How Our Paint Protection Film Process Works
Step 1: Vehicle Inspection
Paint protection film starts with a panel-by-panel inspection that checks existing rock chips, swirl marks, and clear coat depth with a paint thickness gauge.
Step 2: Preparation
A foam pre-soak, iron decontamination, and clay bar treatment remove bonded contaminants, followed by
paint correction when defects need leveling.
Step 3: PPF Installation
Ceramic Pro Urban Film is applied to the panels in the selected package, from Full Front to Full Vehicle.
Step 4: Final Inspection & Handoff
PPF passes a final inspection for clarity, alignment, and nearly invisible edges before the vehicle leaves the Warner Rd shop.

There are some questions that our customers have asked. It helps you find the information you need quickly and efficiently.
What is paint protection film made of?
Paint protection film is made of thermoplastic urethane (TPU), a flexible, optically clear polymer that works as a clear bra over painted surfaces. Ceramic Pro Urban Film layers a self-healing top coat over the TPU film and adhesive, with a protective cap sheet and release liner removed during installation. The finished film absorbs rock chip impacts on the hood, bumper, and fenders.
Does PPF really self-heal?
Yes, premium paint protection film self-heals light swirls and fine scratches when heat warms its elastomeric top coat. Direct sun, a warm-water rinse, or a heat gun closes most wash marks within minutes. Self-healing does not repair deep gouges or cuts that break through the film, so a damaged section needs replacement to restore full protection.
How long does paint protection film last?
Paint protection film typically lasts 7 to 10 years, depending on film quality, installation, and care. Ceramic Pro Urban Film is built for daily drivers, with self-healing and stain-resistant properties that help it hold up to road salt, tree sap, and bird droppings. Hand washing and keeping pressure-washer tips away from film edges extend its life, and quality PPF removes cleanly from factory paint, which helps leased vehicles and resale value.
What coverage options are available?
Paint protection film comes in four main coverage packages: partial front, full front, track package, and full body. Partial front covers the bumper, headlights, and leading edges of the hood and fenders, while full front covers the entire hood and fenders. The track package adds rocker panels, and full body PPF covers every painted panel. Door cups and edges can be added to any package.
How does PPF compare with ceramic coating?
Paint protection film is a physical urethane barrier, while ceramic coating is a chemical layer that bonds to the clear coat. PPF stops rock chips and scratches, and ceramic coating adds gloss, UV resistance, and hydrophobic water beading for easier washing. Many Plain City owners combine both, with a ceramic coating applied over the film to protect its surface and simplify maintenance.
