We all have that friend who loves their car like most people love their beloved family pet. They have all the upgrades and have taken all the protective measures to ensure it looks the same in 2023 as it looked when they drove it off the lot last summer. If you hit them up about their top recommendations, they’ll likely tell you about vinyl floor mats, jet-black window tint, and paint protection film (PPF). Doing a simple search for PPF options in your area, you’ll be inundated with options ranging from a hand wax from the car wash down the street to a leather hood bra from Amazon to ceramic coating, and everything in between. With all of the options, it can be difficult to narrow down the best options and then select the right one for you and your car. In today’s post, we’ll review some of the options available and which one is the best for your ride.
At Jet Black Tint, we offer a variety of vehicle protection options including security window film, car wraps, glass replacement, and more. One of our top-rated services is our paint protection film installation for its clear ROI and the skill and precision by which it’s placed. To up the ante a bit, all of our PPF packages include complimentary full-vehicle tint. Check out the PPF options below and call your nearest JBT to book your installation today.
When you’re reading through these options, a few things to keep in mind to find the best option for you are your budget, where you store your car, how long you plan to have your car, and what other body/paint upgrades you plan to make.

Standard Protection
The most basic and economical option when it comes to paint protection film coverage is standard protection. This film package offers the most basic coverage and generally focuses on specific areas that are more prone to being battered by the elements and worn over time. In the standard protection package — or partial-front — PPF is placed on the bumper along with the wing mirrors, headlights, and the front portion of the hood. This is rather a minimal level of protection that will guard your car against a large amount of potential damage including the typical wear and tear on the frontest portions of your car. These parts are more vulnerable to kicked-up pebbles, insects, and other road debris because they are the tip of the iceberg that is your car.
Standard protection PPF packages are great for the driver who has a car they want to protect but they don’t necessarily have the budget to cover the entire car, or for someone who doesn’t plan to have their car for more than a year or two. For the casual driver who uses their car for short-distance driving, this package is a great place to start.
At Jet Black Tint the standard protection paint protection film package includes full-car tint of all side and rear windows with our metallic tint film.
Key Takeaway:
- Standard protection is great for a tight budget
- Partial-front is ideal for the casual driver
- Basic PPF package is perfect for a short-term vehicle
Full Frontal And Sensitive Areas
The full-frontal option is an upgrade to the basic package and, as the name implies, offers more coverage and protection. In addition to everything the standard protection package includes, the full-front PPF option includes everything that you can easily see when looking at the car head-on. This level will cover the entire hood, the full fenders and bumper, headlights, mirrors, door cups, and rear luggage areas. These are the widest and most forward parts of your car that take the biggest brunt of driving impact.
Full-frontal and sensitive areas coverage is the best option for drivers looking to keep their vehicles looking new for years and for those who do a decent amount of driving. For car owners who spend time on the beach or interstate, we would not recommend going any lower than the full-front PPF option.
At the 14 Jet Black Tint and Glass locations throughout the Bay Area, the full-front PPF packages include free full-vehicle carbon tint. The tint gift includes all side and rear windows and is valued at nearly $600.
Key Takeaways:
- Full-frontal options are best for car owners who plan to have their vehicle for a few years
- Full-front PPF is a must for interstate drivers and beach regulars
- Full-front packages are the minimum for the driver who logs significant mileage
Complete Body Protection
Complete body protection PPF packages are the gold standard of paint protection film coverage. As the name suggests, this level of protection includes all painted surfaces of your vehicle along with the headlights. Complete PPF packages are best installed on new cars to ensure the paint remains immaculate but can be added at any point in vehicle ownership to improve the life expectancy of your car’s paint.
Complete body protection is an absolute must for exotic or luxury car collectors, show cars, and any vehicle that is regularly exposed to harsh conditions. Exotic cars especially find a powerful return on investment by preventing very costly body and paint repairs as well as protecting the aesthetics that make the car so valuable. Incidentally, PPF makes the car incredibly easy to clean and maintain — just another added bonus.
At all of the Jet Black Tint locations across the nation, when a complete protection package is purchased, customers enjoy a free full-car window tint featuring premium ceramic film — making this package the actual total package! The tint service includes all vehicle windows including the sides, rear, and front windshield.
Key Takeaways:
- Complete PPF coverage is the gold standard
- Complete body protection package is a must for exotic or collector cars
- Entire car coverage is the best option for high-exposure vehicles
