XPEL Marine Protection Film, often referred to as Marine PPF or Boat Paint Protection Film, is a thick urethane, self-healing, transparent film that protects boat surfaces from damage. XPEL Marine Protection Film is ideal for boat paint protection. It was designed for performance boats and yachts and will protect gelcoat, marine paint, and other glossy surfaces by preventing scratches, swirls, and chemical contamination.

XPEL Marine Protection Film can last 5 – 7 years with proper care. The lifespan of the marine protection film can be affected by:

• Environmental conditions: Exposure to UV rays, saltwater, or harsh weather, such as intense sun or cold, can affect the lifespan of the marine protection film.
• Maintenance: Regular cleaning and professional checks can help the marine protection film last longer.
• Installation quality: Choosing an XPEL-certified installer, like Ruby Star Marine, ensures the best work quality and boat protection, leading to long-lasting results.

Usage: Exposure to heavy-duty activities or frequent use in extreme weather conditions may affect the durability of the boat’s paint protection film.

XPEL Marine Protection Film is covered by a three-year warranty and offers protection for five to seven years. Any cracking, bubbling, or yellowing of XPEL Marine Protection Film is covered by the warranty.

Regular washing using a pH-neutral shampoo and a soft microfiber cloth is the recommended maintenance to keep your boat’s paint protection film looking brand new. To further protect marine PPF from the elements, we recommend applying marine protective coatings like XPEL Fusion Plus Marine.

XPEL Marine Protection Film can be installed on any type of vessel:

• Yachts & Superyachts
• Sport/Fishing Boats
• Wake & Ski Boats
• Runabouts & Tenders
• PWCS
• Seabobs
• eFoils & Toys
• Engineering Surface Protection/Equipment Protection

The duration depends primarily on the size of the boat you want to protect. Typically, average-sized boat protection takes about 5 days. The timeframe may also vary based on whether you’re opting for exterior protection only or including the interior as well.
