One hourly rate applies to all of them: CHF 220 per hour including VAT. Workloads are approximate and depend on the vehicle.

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.<\/p>\n<h2>Level 2: front protection<\/h2>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h2>Level 3: complete vehicle<\/h2>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<h2>Level 4: custom design<\/h2>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<p>See <a href=\"\/services\/ppf\/\">paint protection film<\/a> for the full list of what each level includes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>INCUTE&#8217;s four paint protection film levels: what each covers, the published hourly rate and the typical workload for small and large vehicles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8,"template":"","meta":[],"class_list":["post-137","guide","type-guide","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"vx":{},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/freelancerzuerich.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/guide\/137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/freelancerzuerich.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/guide"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/freelancerzuerich.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/guide"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/freelancerzuerich.online\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/8"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/freelancerzuerich.online\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
