This package typically covers the front bumper, a partial section of the hood and front fenders, and the mirror caps. It is a practical option for Eden Prairie drivers who regularly commute on I-494, Highway 169, Highway 212, or other busy Twin Cities roads and want targeted protection for the most exposed areas.

Full Front Package

A full-front package generally includes the entire hood, full front fenders, front bumper, mirror caps, and headlights when appropriate. Covering the complete hood and fenders eliminates partial-film lines and creates a cleaner, more uniform appearance. This option is especially popular for new vehicles, dark-colored finishes, luxury models, and owners who spend significant time on highways.

Rocker & Lower Door Protection

Rocker panels, lower doors, rear wheel-impact areas, and lower body panels are frequently exposed to gravel, sand, salt, and slush kicked up by the tires. Adding protection to these areas can be especially beneficial for trucks, SUVs, performance vehicles, and drivers who frequently travel through Minnesota construction zones or on gravel roads.

Paint protection film can be applied to trunk ledges, rear bumper tops, door cups, door edges, and other frequently touched areas. These smaller coverage options help reduce scratches from fingernails, rings, keys, luggage, sporting equipment, pet loading, and everyday vehicle use.

Full-Body Wraps

Full-body PPF provides the most comprehensive coverage by protecting nearly every painted exterior panel. This option is ideal for high-value vehicles, collector cars, performance models, exotic vehicles, and owners who plan to keep their vehicles long-term. It delivers uniform protection while maintaining the vehicle’s original color and overall appearance.

Scotchgard™ Paint Protection Film Pro Series 200 Gloss provides a smooth, high-gloss finish with excellent optical clarity. Its low-orange-peel surface helps the film blend into the paint while preserving the vehicle’s original color, metallic flake, and depth. Hydrophobic properties also help repel water and dirt, making routine maintenance easier during Minnesota’s wet and snowy seasons.

Matte and Satin Film

Scotchgard™ Paint Protection Film Pro Series 200 Matte provides protection while creating a smooth satin appearance. It can be used to help maintain factory matte paint or transform gloss-painted panels into a more subdued matte finish without permanently repainting the vehicle. The film is designed to preserve the underlying paint color while protecting against chips, scratches, stains, road tar, bugs, and outdoor weathering.

3M Protection Wrap Film Color Series combines vehicle personalization with protection against chips, scratches, stains, and exposure to the elements. It is available in a selection of premium colors and finishes, including gloss, matte, and color-flip choices. Depending on the vehicle and project, it may be used for accent panels, roofs, trim areas, or more extensive restyling.

Customized High-Impact Protection

Not every vehicle requires the same coverage. Additional film can be installed on vulnerable areas such as splitters, wide rear fenders, wheel arches, bed-access points, running boards, and other high-contact surfaces. We will inspect the vehicle and recommend protection based on its body design and how it is used.

We begin by discussing your vehicle, daily driving routes, parking conditions, ownership plans, and protection goals. We then recommend an appropriate film, finish, and coverage package. New-vehicle owners can schedule installation shortly after delivery to help protect the paint before regular road exposure begins.

Washing, Decontamination, and Paint Preparation

The exterior must be thoroughly cleaned before film installation. We wash the vehicle, remove bonded contaminants, and address salt residue, road film, tar, and other material that could interfere with the finished result. Paint correction may be recommended when swirl marks, oxidation, or other visible defects should be improved before they are sealed beneath the film.

Vehicle-specific digital patterns allow the film to be shaped for the contours of the hood, bumper, fenders, mirrors, doors, and other panels. 3M Pattern Marketplace includes thousands of quality-tested automotive film patterns. Patterning helps provide accurate coverage, consistent edges, and a clean appearance while reducing unnecessary cutting directly on the vehicle.

Controlled-Environment Installation

PPF installation is completed inside our Eden Prairie facility, where temperature, lighting, and airborne contaminants can be better controlled. This is especially important during Minnesota’s subzero winters, humid summers, and rapidly changing seasonal conditions. A stable installation environment supports proper positioning, adhesion, and edge finishing.

After the film is installed, trapped installation moisture is worked out, edges are secured, and every protected panel is inspected under detailed lighting. Some temporary haze or small moisture pockets may remain during the initial curing period and typically diminish as the film dries. We will provide aftercare instructions before the vehicle leaves our shop.
