Choose Full Front if any of these sound like your routine.
Highway commuter between West Babylon, Melville, and Farmingdale. The front end collects the most hits. Full Front gives near total coverage of those impact zones.
New vehicle owner looking for strong protection at a focused price point. You can add rockers or high wear zones later.
Lease vehicle where you want to prevent penalties for chips and rash without wrapping the entire car.
Light colored paint where chips are visible mostly on the nose. Full Front handles the worst areas while keeping the appearance clean.
Family SUV that spends time on parkways and in parking lots. Pair Full Front with targeted add ons below for a smart, balanced setup.
Long term ownership is your plan. You want to avoid resprays and keep the finish consistent for years.
Dark or saturated colors like black, deep blue, or red. These shades show chips and wash marring more easily. Full coverage levels the playing field across every panel.
Enthusiast or show car where uniform reflections and easy wipe downs matter.
Coastal parking near Babylon village, West Islip, or Bay Shore. Salt air and windblown sand affect entire cars, not just front clips.
Trucks and work vehicles that see construction dust and grit along the lower doors and bedsides.
If you also want easier washing and matched gloss across film and paint, pair Full Car with a ceramic coating. Learn more on Ceramic Coating and premium Ceramic Pro ION.
Coverage add ons that make both options better
No matter which package you choose, these targeted panels deliver big value on Long Island.
Rocker panels and lower doors These areas get peppered by sand and salty slush. Protecting them prevents sand rash and staining. See Ceramic Pro Urban PPF for rugged zones.
High wear zones Door cups, door edges, trunk loading area, and A pillars. These small panels stop daily scuffs and save you from constant touch ups.
Bold accents with Black PPF Create deep black roofs, hoods, mirrors, or full panels while keeping real impact protection. Explore Ceramic Pro Black Paint Protection Film.
Thinking about a full color change. Consider a Vinyl Wrap and then coat it after it cures for easier maintenance.
Our certified process from inspection to warranty
Quality installs are built on process. Here is what to expect at Ceramic Pro Long Island.
Consultation and inspection We review your commute, parking, and goals. Then we map coverage and seam placement on your exact model. Start here: Consultation.
Decontamination wash Hand wash, iron removal, and clay to remove bonded fallout so film adheres properly.
Paint preparation Targeted Paint Correction in coverage zones. Film locks in what is underneath, so prep matters.
Precision templating and fitment Model specific patterns plus refined edges and wrapped corners where appropriate for a tidy, factory style look.
Application and squeegee work Panels are aligned, solution is expelled, and edges are finished clean to preserve clarity and adhesion.
Curing and quality check Proper set time followed by inspection under bright lighting to confirm clean edges and uniform gloss.
Coating over film if selected Many owners add a Ceramic Coating for slickness and matched gloss.
Warranty registration and handoff As a Ceramic Pro certified installer and vendor, we register your product warranty and provide simple care guidance.

FAQs
1) Will I notice a big visual difference between Full Front and Full Car
Full Front protects the most vulnerable areas and looks clean when seams are placed correctly. Full Car delivers a uniform, chip resistant finish with consistent gloss across every panel. If you want a show ready, even look everywhere, Full Car is the clear winner.
2) Can I start with Full Front and upgrade later
Yes. Many owners begin with Full Front and add rockers, high wear zones, or more panels as they see where their car takes abuse. We can plan seam placement that makes future additions blend in well.
3) Does a ceramic coating replace PPF
No. A coating adds slickness, deep gloss, and improved resistance to chemical stains and UV. It does not absorb impact from sand or stones. For chip defense you need PPF on the hit zones.
Most Tesla commuters choose Full Front plus rocker coverage due to tire spray and airflow. See Tesla Paint Protection Film for model specific ideas, and pair with Tesla Ceramic Coating for easy maintenance.
6) Do I need paint correction before film
Usually a light Paint Correction in coverage zones helps the film look its best and adhere properly. We inspect under bright lighting and recommend only what you need.
7) What is your installation environment and warranty process
We install in a clean, well lit, climate controlled space. As a Ceramic Pro certified installer and vendor, we register your product warranty at pickup and provide simple care instructions for long term performance.
