INCUTE offers four paint protection film levels, from a protected front end to the complete vehicle. One hourly rate applies to all of them: CHF 220 per hour including VAT. Workloads are approximate and depend on the vehicle. For how the film itself works, read how paint protection film works.

Level Covers Workload, small / large vehicle
1 · Basic package Front bumper, headlights and exterior mirrors approx. 12 h / 16 h
2 · Front protection Front bumper, fenders, hood, A-pillar, headlights and exterior mirrors approx. 16 h / 22 h
3 · Complete vehicle All painted exterior parts, including the interior sills approx. 36 h / 72 h
4 · Custom design The parts you choose with us Depends on the scope of the request

Level 1: basic package

A self-healing film on the areas under the most strain. The headlights matter most: a broken headlight usually cannot be repaired and has to be replaced, which costs far more than protection. The front bumper is exposed to stone chips, scrapes and scratches, and the exterior mirrors sit directly in the firing line of stones, hedges and even other cars.

Level 2: front protection

The complete front protection package is the most popular option for drivers who use their cars as the manufacturer intended. It adds the fenders, hood and A-pillar, and protects the front wings, carbon fibre included, from stones that fly over the car at high speed. It includes everything in Level 1.

Level 3: complete vehicle

The most comprehensive protection INCUTE offers, for customers who want to show off their pride and joy on the road with a clear conscience. It adds the roof, which is at risk from stones and from bird droppings and other dirt; the doors, which suffer stone chips and parking damage; the rear bumper and spoilers; and the rocker panels, which are exposed to stones, low hedges and the shoes and bags of passengers. It includes the full front and rocker panel protection.

Level 4: custom design

You decide with us which parts are treated. This also applies to cars with no stored template in the software, where we produce the template ourselves with our laser measuring system. In the interior, some elements deserve particular protection, normally the centre console, the carbon door panels and the infotainment system, depending on the vehicle.

FAQ

Common questions

Which PPF level is the most popular?

Level 2, the complete front protection package, is the most popular option for drivers who drive their cars as the manufacturer intended.

Why protect the headlights?

A broken headlight usually cannot be repaired and has to be replaced completely, which is much more expensive than applying protection.

Can the interior be protected too?

Yes. Level 4 can include interior elements such as the centre console, carbon door panels and the infotainment system. We give individual recommendations, as it depends on the vehicle.
