Resale FAQ
Common Questions
Does window tinting really increase resale value?
Yes—quality window tinting adds perceived and real value. Buyers see it as a desirable upgrade. More importantly, tinting preserves interior condition by blocking 99% of UV rays that fade leather, fabric, and plastic. A car with a pristine interior commands $500-1,500 more than one with faded, cracked surfaces.
Is PPF worth it if I'm selling in a few years?
Absolutely. A car with rock chips on the hood and bumper is visually less appealing and raises concerns about general care. PPF-protected paint looks factory-fresh, which builds buyer confidence and justifies higher prices. The protection cost is typically recovered or exceeded at sale time.
What protection gives the best ROI for resale?
Window tinting offers the best ROI—low cost, high impact on both interior preservation and buyer appeal. Front-end PPF is second—it protects the most visible and chip-prone areas. Ceramic coating's ROI depends on how long you keep the car; it's best for vehicles held 3+ years.
Should I remove protection before selling?
Never remove quality protection—it's a selling point! Transferable warranties (like our PPF and ceramic coatings) add value because the new owner still benefits. Include protection documentation with the sale to justify your asking price.
