Vehicles from these brands have been protected at Elements Labs for Vancouver-area owners and dealership clients.
Coverage planning, leading-edge wrap, and panel-specific recommendations for the vehicles we see most often in our shop.
Every vehicle goes through the same disciplined sequence — no rushed jobs, no skipped prep.
Vehicle review, panel-risk inspection, ownership-goal discussion, and package recommendation before anything is scheduled.
Thorough cleaning and paint correction to ensure proper film adhesion and finish quality. Coating locks in the surface underneath — prep is the most important step.
Film or coating applied in a controlled installation environment using the KAVACA Design Access Program patterns and certified technique.
Every panel and edge reviewed before delivery. You leave with aftercare guidance, a warranty record, and a clear maintenance plan.

Ceramic coating improves gloss, hydrophobic behavior, and easier maintenance. It helps reduce contamination bonding and makes routine washing easier — but it is not a substitute for paint protection film on rock-chip impact areas.
Ceramic Pro is a multi-layerable nano-ceramic liquid that cures into a flexible glass — 9H hardness, three times harder than factory clear coat. Ultra-gloss finish with self-cleaning behaviour.
Compare packagesRevivify graphene coating is a premium option for gloss, slickness, hydrophobic behaviour, and manufacturer-stated heat-activated recovery from minor surface marks. For rock chips, dents, and road-debris impact, we recommend PPF.
Ask about GraphenePaint protection film protects against rock chips and physical impact. Ceramic coating provides gloss and hydrophobic behavior but does not protect against rock chips. For comprehensive protection, both are applied — film on impact zones, ceramic over the entire vehicle including the film.
Self-healing polyurethane film. Physical barrier between paint and the road.
Chemical bond on top of paint. Slick finish, easier washing, reduced contamination.
Front End PPF on impact zones plus a Ceramic Pro coating across the vehicle. Two verified tiers.
A different way to choose — by what you actually need the vehicle to do.
What we don’t claim: Ceramic coating does not stop rock chips. PPF does not fix existing paint defects — correction comes first. Pricing reflects published starting points; every vehicle is quoted individually. Read the full PPF vs Ceramic guide →
Clients choose us because we focus on precision, quality, and reliability — and because every job runs through the same disciplined operating standards.
Dedicated to PPF, ceramic coatings, and surface protection — not a generalist detail shop. Every technician’s hours go into a narrow craft.
KAVACA, Ceramic Pro, Revivify, XPEL, 3M, Avery. We don’t substitute materials to win a price point — durability and performance over savings.
Dedicated install bay with temperature, humidity, and dust control — every film and coating is applied in conditions designed for consistent results.
Surface prep is the most-undervalued step in this industry. We don’t rush it. Correction, decontamination, and inspection happen before any film or coating touches the paint.
We will tell you when a service isn’t worth it for your vehicle. Honest recommendations over upselling, every time. That’s how we earn dealership trust.

Quality PPF can last many years when installed and maintained correctly. KAVACA film carries a manufacturer warranty up to 12 years covering yellowing, cracking, delamination, and material failure.
PPF is for physical impact protection — rock chips, road debris, scratches. Ceramic coating is for gloss, hydrophobic behavior, and easier cleaning. Elements Labs commonly combines both: film on impact zones, ceramic over the entire vehicle including the film.
No. Ceramic coating does not prevent rock chips. It helps with gloss, hydrophobic behaviour, and easier cleaning. For physical impact protection, use paint protection film.
Yes. A bumper and hood repaint can cost thousands on premium finishes. Elements Labs regularly protects Tesla Model 3/Y/S/X, Porsche Macan/Cayenne/911, and Range Rover vehicles. See Tesla PPF, Porsche PPF, Rivian PPF.
Ceramic coating at Elements Labs ranges from $800 to $2,500+ depending on vehicle size, paint condition, and coverage scope. Most installations complete in 1–2 days.
Under BC Motor Vehicle Act Regulations section 7.05, light-reducing film may be applied to the windshield (not more than 75mm below the top), side windows behind the driver, and the rear window (if the vehicle has outside rear-view mirrors on both sides). Elements Labs does not recommend illegal front-side tint configurations for road-use vehicles.
If the paint has swirl marks, haze, oxidation, or wash marring, correction should be done before coating. Ceramic coating locks in the finish underneath — it does not hide poor paint condition.
Yes. Ceramic coating can be applied over PPF to improve hydrophobic performance and make washing easier. KAVACA Ceramic Coated PPF includes the ceramic layer built into the film.
