Paint Protection Film & Ceramic Coating for Helensvale Commuters
Our studio is in Southport, about 9 km (straight line) from Helensvale, at 68 Davenport Street, Southport QLD 4215. For daily M1 commuters we recommend SunTek Reaction PPF on the front of the car: Front Half PPF is $3,300 inc GST and Track Pack is $3,850, for any vehicle size. 10-year ceramic coating starts from $1,320.
Stone chips from the daily commute
Helensvale is a northern hub with direct M1 access, and plenty of owners commute on the M1 or along Smith Street every day. Highway speeds and trucks mean small stones hit the front of the car, and over months that turns into a chipped bonnet and bumper.
Front Half PPF ($3,300) covers the bumper, bonnet, guards, headlights and mirrors. Track Pack ($3,850) adds the front lip, side skirts or sills and A-pillars, which also take hits on the highway. Both are one price for every vehicle size.
Add ceramic coating over the rest of the car if you want easier washing as well.
