You’ve just invested in a Tesla Model Y, Model 3, Model S, Model X, or maybe even the Cybertruck. Congratulations! Now comes the smart part—protecting it.
Between Texas sun, highway debris, and urban driving hazards in San Antonio, your Tesla needs a strategy to stay flawless. But what’s better—Ceramic Coating or Paint Protection Film (PPF)?
Let’s break down the differences and help you make the right decision.
XPEL Paint Protection Film, also called “clear bra,” is a physical polyurethane film applied to your Tesla’s paint.
At Rev’d Customs, we use XPEL Ultimate Plus and XPEL Stealth to deliver unmatched durability and invisible finish.
👉 Explore Tesla-specific PPF.
XPEL Fusion Ceramic Coating is a liquid nano-coating applied over your vehicle’s paint (or PPF) that bonds to the surface chemically.
At Rev’d Customs, we apply it in a controlled environment for maximum adhesion and longevity.

If you want shine and easier maintenance:
Choose XPEL Fusion Ceramic Coating. It’s ideal for Tesla owners who want fewer washes and more gloss.
Want the best of both worlds? Many Tesla owners in San Antonio do both.
This combo offers maximum protection + low-maintenance luxury. And yes—we specialize in both at Rev’d Customs.

Yes! We recommend this approach for a complete protection package. It boosts shine and hydrophobic properties.
PPF lasts 5–10 years. Ceramic coating lasts up to 4 years depending on care and exposure.
The Cybertruck’s steel body benefits most from PPF on contact zones, but ceramic helps maintain shine and resist grime.
