WHAT IS WINDSHIELD PROTECTION FILM

Rocks, salt, and road grit are part of everyday driving in Ottawa, and it doesn’t take much to chip or crack a windshield. This film absorbs the impact, keeps your glass intact, and buys you time before you ever have to think about a replacement.

In Ottawa, winter makes every little chip worse. One cold snap and that tiny nick can spread into a full crack overnight. Replacing a windshield isn’t just pricey anymore, most modern cars need sensor recalibration, and that bill can easily climb over a thousand dollars.
Protection film stops most chips before they start and makes cleaning ice, bugs, and salt faster and easier. It’s one of those upgrades you don’t notice until you realize you haven’t stressed about glass damage in months.
WHY CHOOSE THE FINE DETAILS
We’ve been protecting Ottawa vehicles for years, and we know the roads here chew up glass. Every install happens in our climate-controlled shop, where we prep your windshield, apply the film, and check it under bright lights so there are no bubbles, no haze, and no shortcuts.
Customers come to us because we explain what’s being done, keep them updated, and stand behind the work.

WINDSHIELD PROTECTION FAQ
Will the film affect how I see through my windshield?
No, the film is optically clear. You’ll forget it’s even there until it takes a hit that could have cracked your glass.
How long does it last here in Ottawa?
Most drivers get 1–2 years out of a windshield film. Our premium option can push further, even with the salt and freeze-thaw cycles we deal with here.
Can it be removed if needed?
Yes. It peels away cleanly with no damage to your windshield, and you can have a fresh layer reapplied.
Will it stop every rock chip?
Nothing is bulletproof, but this film greatly lowers your odds. Impacts that would normally chip or crack the glass often bounce off without leaving a mark.
Is it worth it compared to replacing a windshield?
Absolutely. A windshield replacement with sensor recalibration can cost over $1,000. Protection film is a fraction of that and can save you from multiple replacements over the life of your car.
How do I care for my car after PPF installation?
After PPF is installed, we recommend waiting about a week before washing to let adhesives fully cure. Once set, you can hand wash the car as usual, just avoid abrasive brushes or automatic car washes. A simple two-bucket wash method works best.
How soon after installation can I wash the vehicle?
You should wait 5–7 days before the first wash. This prevents moisture from getting under the edges while the film is bonding. During that time, if dust or light dirt builds up, a quick rinse with clean water is fine.
Does PPF heal from scratches on its own?
Yes — light scratches and swirl marks often self-heal when the film is warmed by the sun or hot water. The urethane material is designed to “reset” itself. Deeper cuts won’t disappear, but they’ll stop at the film and won’t reach your paint.
Can I apply wax or ceramic coating over PPF?
Absolutely. Many clients add ceramic coating on top of PPF. This makes the surface slicker, repels water, and keeps the film cleaner longer. Wax is fine too, but avoid abrasive compounds.
What cleaning products are safe to use on PPF?
Stick with pH-balanced car shampoos and non-abrasive microfiber towels. Avoid harsh solvents or cleaners designed to strip wax. We’ll happily recommend the same products we use in-shop so your film stays crystal clear.
What does the Full Body PPF package cover?
The Full Body PPF package protects every painted surface of your car, from bumper to bumper, keeping your finish showroom-fresh and shielded from road debris, scratches, and environmental damage.
How is the Fine Details Package different?
The Fine Details Package adds coverage beyond the front end, including rocker panels and the trunk luggage strip. It’s ideal for year-round driving in Ottawa where extra protection is needed against salt, rocks, and road grime.
What’s included in the Full Front End package?
This option protects the most vulnerable areas—full bumper, fenders, hood, and mirror caps. It’s perfect for drivers who spend lots of time on highways where chips and scratches are common.
Is Partial Front End coverage enough for daily drivers?
Yes, the Partial Front End is designed for budget-conscious drivers who want reliable protection on the bumper, partial hood, partial fenders, and mirrors without the cost of full coverage.
When should I choose Partial Hood Coverage?
Partial Hood Coverage is best if you want protection for the high-impact zones of your hood and fenders while keeping costs low. It also includes coverage for either mirror caps or headlights for added defense.

Is Partial Hood Coverage a good starting point?
Yes — it’s the entry-level option for drivers who want protection in the most vulnerable spot without going further. It’s a simple way to stop chips before they spread and keep your finish looking fresh.
How do I decide between Partial Front End and Full Front End?
It comes down to how much peace of mind you want. Partial front gives solid protection, while full front provides a seamless look and stronger long-term defense. Many clients choose full front because it eliminates visible lines and maximizes confidence.
Why choose The Fine Details Coverage?
This is our most balanced option. It goes further than a full front by targeting areas that see extra wear in Ottawa driving. It’s the coverage we recommend for owners who want extended protection without committing to a full body wrap.
When is Full Body PPF the right choice?
Full body is the ultimate level of protection. It’s chosen by drivers who want to preserve their vehicle as close to flawless as possible, whether that’s because of a rare paint color, a high-end build, or long-term ownership goals.
Which option delivers the best value overall?
For most people, full front strikes the best balance of cost and coverage. But for clients who want more confidence, The Fine Details Coverage delivers extra defense where it counts without going all the way to full body.
