XPEL Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a clear, self-healing polyurethane film applied to your car’s paintwork. It forms a transparent protective layer that defends against:

• Stone chips and gravel impact

• Scratches and swirl marks

• Bird droppings and bug splatter

• Road tar and salt damage

• UV fading and chemical etching

Unlike traditional wax or sealants, PPF is a physical barrier, not just a coating. That means the damage never reaches your actual paint surface — the film takes the impact instead.

At Car Clinic Northwest, we only use XPEL Ultimate Plus — the industry’s most advanced protection film, known for its optical clarity, self-healing surface, and 10-year manufacturer warranty.

Here’s why XPEL stands out as the number one paint protection solution for car owners across Bolton and the North West.

🔹 Self-Healing Technology

XPEL’s unique elastomeric polymer structure means that light scratches and swirl marks disappear with heat. Simply leave your car in the sun or pour warm water over the surface, and the film restores itself like magic.

🔹 Crystal-Clear Transparency

Unlike cheap films that dull your paint, XPEL PPF enhances your vehicle’s shine. It’s virtually invisible, maintaining the original colour and gloss of your car while adding a mirror-smooth finish.

🔹 Stain Resistance

The film’s clear-coat layer prevents discolouration and staining from environmental contaminants, bird droppings, and road tar — common issues on UK roads, especially during winter months.

🔹 Long-Term Durability

XPEL Paint Protection Film is engineered to withstand the British climate — from Bolton’s wet, gritty roads to summer UV exposure. It won’t peel, crack, or yellow over time.

🔹 10-Year Warranty

Every installation by Car Clinic Northwest comes with a backed-by-XPEL 10-year warranty. You’ll have peace of mind knowing your film is guaranteed to last.

Bolton’s roads are beautiful but unforgiving. Between loose gravel, harsh weather, and busy traffic, your car’s paintwork is constantly under attack.

Here’s why XPEL Paint Protection Film is essential for Bolton motorists:

🚗 Protection from Stone Chips

Frequent trips down the M61, A666, or through town roads lined with debris can leave paint chipped and rough. XPEL PPF absorbs these impacts before they damage your car.

🌦️ Weather Resistance

Bolton weather changes fast — rain, hail, and even road salt in winter all contribute to corrosion. XPEL’s hydrophobic layer shields your paint from moisture and road contaminants.

🧼 Easy Maintenance

The slick, non-stick surface of XPEL film makes washing a breeze. Dirt, insects, and grime wipe off easily, keeping your car cleaner for longer with less effort.

💰 Preserve Resale Value

Vehicles protected with XPEL PPF command higher resale prices. A car that looks new years later is a car that holds its value — especially in today’s competitive market.

Founded in 2013, Car Clinic Northwest began as a car detailing studio and has since evolved into Bolton’s go-to paint protection and enhancement centre.

Our passion for cars and precision workmanship has made us trusted specialists in XPEL Paint Protection Film, Paint Correction, and Titanic Ceramic Coating.

We operate from a purpose-built headquarters in Bolton, designed for high-end detailing and film installation. With temperature-controlled bays, professional lighting, and digital cutting systems, every vehicle receives the care and precision it deserves.

Installing PPF correctly requires skill, experience, and the right environment. Here’s how we ensure a perfect finish every time:

1. Vehicle Preparation

We begin by washing, decontaminating, and inspecting your paintwork. Any imperfections are corrected with a paint correction process to ensure the surface is flawless before application.

2. Digital Pattern Design

We use XPEL’s DAP (Design Access Program) — the world’s largest pattern database — to digitally cut film templates specific to your car make and model. This means no blades ever touch your car, ensuring total safety and accuracy.

3. Expert Film Application

Our trained installers apply the film using a specialist slip solution, ensuring precise alignment, bubble-free adhesion, and seamless edge wrapping.

4. Heat-Curing and Inspection

Once fitted, the film is heat-cured to activate its bonding layer and self-healing properties. We then perform a full inspection under lighting to guarantee perfection.

5. Aftercare and Maintenance

We provide a personalised PPF aftercare guide, including washing tips, maintenance schedules, and product recommendations to keep your film looking its best.
