XPEL Windshield Protection: The Smart Way to Defend Against Chips & Cracks

Callum Foster

When it comes to vehicle protection, most people think about paintwork, wheels, and interiors—but what about your windscreen? Your windscreen takes on the full force of the road, facing stone chips, road debris, and even those unexpected impacts that can lead to costly repairs. That’s why we’re excited to introduce XPEL Windshield Protection Film (PPF), now available at Spotless Detailing, starting from £495!

Why Protect Your Windscreen?

Your windscreen is one of the most vulnerable parts of your car. A single stone chip can quickly turn into a crack, leading to an expensive replacement. XPEL Windshield PPF acts as an invisible barrier, absorbing impact and helping to prevent chips and cracks before they happen.

  • Stone Chip & Impact Protection – Reduces the risk of damage from flying debris.
  • Optically Clear – Maintains full visibility with no distortion.
  • Self-Healing Technology – Minor scratches disappear with heat.
  • Hydrophobic Surface – Repels water and dirt for improved visibility in bad weather.

How XPEL Windshield PPF Works

XPEL Windshield Protection Film is a multi-layered, optically clear film that adheres to your windscreen, forming a durable, protective shield. The film is designed to take the brunt of impacts, minimising damage and extending the life of your windscreen. Plus, thanks to its hydrophobic properties, rainwater beads off effortlessly, enhancing visibility and making driving in wet conditions safer.

Perfect for Every Vehicle

Whether you own a sports car, SUV, or daily driver, windscreen PPF is a smart investment for anyone who wants to protect their car from the unexpected. If you frequently drive on motorways, rural roads, or enjoy spirited driving, this protection is especially valuable.

How We Decontaminate Your Paint Before Coating: A Step by Step Breakdown

By Callum Foster • October 27, 2025
At Spotless Detailing, when customers book in for ceramic coating, one of the most common surprises is how much prep goes into the process before the coating even touches the paintwork. Why? Because ceramic coating is only as good as the surface it bonds to. You can have the best coating in the world, but if it’s applied over embedded contaminants or minor paint defects, it won’t perform or last the way it should. That’s why our team puts such a huge focus on prep work and paint decontamination before every ceramic job. Here’s a breakdown of how we make sure your car’s paint is in prime condition before protection begins.

Ceramic Coating vs. PPF - Which Is Right for You?

By Callum Foster • October 21, 2025
When it comes to protecting your car’s paint, there are two standout options: ceramic coating and paint protection film (PPF). Both are designed to help preserve your vehicle’s finish, but they work in very different ways and choosing the right one depends on your car, your driving habits, and your long term goals. At Spotless Detailing, we offer both options at our Perth and Elgin studios, and we’re often asked which is “better.” The truth is, it depends. Here's what you need to know.

Autumn/Winter Car Protection: Why Now’s the Best Time to Act

By Callum Foster • October 14, 2025
As the nights draw in and the temperatures drop, it’s easy to forget what’s happening to your car’s paintwork under the surface. But if there’s ever a time to protect your vehicle, it’s right now, before the salt, grime and winter abuse kicks in. ❄️ Why Protect Now, Not Mid Winter Once the roads are covered in grit, mud and salt, your car is already on the back foot. Applying protection before exposure helps seal the paintwork while it’s still in good condition, not after the damage is done. Salt and grit wear down gloss and increase the risk of corrosion Cold temperatures make contaminants harder to remove once embedded Rain, sleet and frost reduce the visibility of fine scratches until the sun comes out again in spring, and all is revealed
