Our Flagship System

The 3-Layer Protection Stack

Most shops apply one product and call it done. We engineer a layered system — each element doing a specific job, calibrated for Texas heat and UV intensity.

Layer 01

The Armor Layer

Paint Protection Film (PPF)

XPEL Ultimate Plus thermoplastic urethane film bonds directly to the clear coat. Self-healing under heat, it absorbs rock chips, road debris, and minor abrasions without transferring impact to the paint. Optically clear — invisible from 10 feet.

XPEL Ultimate Plus · 10-Yr Warranty
Layer 02

The Gloss Layer

Ceramic Coating

GYEON Q² Mohs+ nano-ceramic bonds to the PPF surface (or directly to paint on non-PPF panels), forming a 9H-hardness hydrophobic shell. Water beads and sheets off. Contaminants can’t chemically bond. UV protection included.

GYEON Q² Mohs+ · 5-Yr Warranty
Layer 03

The Visibility Layer

Ceramic Window Film

XPEL XR+ ceramic window film rejects up to 98% of infrared heat and blocks 99% of UV rays — protecting the interior, reducing glare, and keeping cabin temperatures dramatically cooler in Austin summers. No signal interference.

Client Reviews

What Our Clients Say

4.9 stars across 380+ Google reviews. Here’s why.

★★★★★

“I brought my Ferrari 488 in for the Full Armor package before a cross-country road trip. The XPEL install was flawless — zero lift on the edges, perfectly trimmed around the carbon details. Six months later the paint still looks like it just left Maranello. Worth every dollar.”

★★★★★

“The Porsche came back looking better than when I picked it up from the dealer. Marcus walked me through every step — the prep, the film placement, why they chose certain cut lines. The transparency alone would’ve sold me, let alone the results. GT3 looks incredible even after 8,000 track miles.”

★★★★★

“I’ve had PPF done at three different shops in Austin over the years. Spectra is a completely different level of operation. Climate-controlled studio, proper prep, zero orange peel from the PPF. The McLaren is garaged between drives and Spectra is the only reason I feel okay taking it out.”

Common Questions

Everything You Need to Know

What is the difference between PPF and ceramic coating?

Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a physical barrier — a thermoplastic urethane film that bonds to the clear coat and absorbs physical damage like rock chips, road debris, and minor abrasions. Ceramic coating is a chemical barrier — a nano-ceramic compound that bonds to the paint (or PPF surface) to create hydrophobicity, UV resistance, and chemical resistance. They serve different purposes and work best together. PPF prevents physical damage; ceramic prevents chemical and UV damage and enhances gloss.

How long does a Full Armor installation take?

Full-body PPF with ceramic and window film typically takes 5–7 business days in our studio. The timeline includes paint correction (1–2 days), PPF installation (2–3 days), and ceramic coating cure time (1–2 days). We never rush the cure — the GYEON ceramic needs a controlled environment and adequate time to achieve full hardness. You'll receive updates throughout the process.

Do you work on leased vehicles?

Absolutely. PPF is actually ideal for leased exotics — it protects the paint during your lease term and peels off cleanly at turn-in, leaving the factory paint in showroom condition. Ceramic coating is equally safe on leased vehicles. Many of our clients rotate through leases on Porsches, McLarens, and Lamborghinis specifically because PPF protects their security deposit.

What warranty comes with your ceramic coating, and what does it cover?

GYEON Q² Mohs+ carries a 5-year certified warranty through our authorized applicator status. The warranty covers coating failure, loss of hydrophobic performance, and delamination under normal use. It does not cover physical damage, improper washing, or damage from automatic car washes. We strongly recommend hand washing only — we'll provide a full maintenance kit and care instructions at pickup.
