Burlington, KY’s Trusted Matte Paint Protection Film Experts

Protect Your Matte Finish With Matte PPF

Matte paint looks stunning, but it's notoriously difficult to maintain. Scratches, stains, and gloss spots can ruin the look fast. At Top Shine Detailing in Burlington, KY, we offer Matte Paint Protection Film (PPF) designed to preserve your vehicle’s smooth, non-reflective finish. This advanced film shields your ride from road debris, rock chips, and UV damage while keeping the matte look intact. Whether you're protecting a factory matte finish or customizing your car with a satin style, our precision installation ensures your paint stays flawless without compromising style.

Matte Paint Protection Film Myths, Dispelled

Myth: You can’t wash or maintain matte PPF like regular paint. 

Truth: Matte PPF is easy to maintain with the right products. You just need to avoid waxes or polishes that add shine. A matte-specific car wash soap and detail spray keep your finish looking clean without altering the texture or appearance. 

Myth: Matte PPF isn’t as durable as the standard clear/gloss PPF. 

Truth: Matte and clear/gloss PPF offer the same level of protection against chips, scratches, and environmental damage. The difference is purely in the finish, not the strength or durability of the film. 

Myth: It’s not worth installing matte PPF unless you have matte paint. 

Truth: Matte PPF can be applied to gloss paint to give it a custom satin look, offering both style and protection. Whether you're preserving factory matte paint or transforming your finish, it’s a smart, long-term investment. 

Inside Top Shine’s PPF Installation Process

Step 1: Vehicle Drop-Off and Consultation   
When you arrive at our Burlington, KY location or if we come to you in the Northern Kentucky, Greater Cincinnati, and Southern Indiana area, we’ll start with a brief consultation to confirm your chosen PPF coverage and answer any last-minute questions. No matter if you’ve chosen partial coverage with our Driver’s Package or full coverage with All or Nothing, we’ll guide you through every step of the process, ensuring you know exactly what to expect. 

Step 2: Thorough Wash and Decontamination  
Before any film is applied, your vehicle will receive a meticulous hand wash followed by a clay bar treatment and surface decontamination. This step ensures that every inch of your paint is clean, smooth, and free of contaminants that could affect adhesion or appearance. 

Step 3: Paint Correction If Needed  
If there are any minor swirls, scratches, or imperfections in your paint, we may perform a light paint correction to restore a flawless finish before installation. PPF is crystal-clear, so correcting the surface beneath ensures the best possible results. 

Step 4: Film Application   
Our trained installers will precisely cut and apply the paint protection film using advanced techniques and specialized tools. This process is done in a controlled environment to avoid dust or debris, and each section is carefully squeegeed to remove air bubbles and ensure a tight, seamless fit. 

Step 5: Final Inspection and Pickup 

Once installation is complete, we’ll perform a detailed inspection and clean-up to ensure everything meets our high standards. We’ll also give you care instructions and answer any final questions. Your vehicle will leave the shop protected, polished, and ready to hit the road in style.
