"If you can't notice what we did on the 750S, that means we are good." That's the philosophy behind our work on this McLaren 750S — full gloss PPF, full window tint, windshield protection film, and a complete Gtechniq ceramic coating. The ultimate protection stack, executed invisibly.

The Triple Stack: PPF + Tint + Ceramic on a McLaren 750S

The McLaren 750S is a $310,000+ supercar with 740 horsepower, a twin-turbo V8, and some of the most complex body lines in the automotive world. The owner wanted comprehensive protection without altering the car's stunning factory finish — not even a little.

Here's what we did:

Full body gloss PPF (UNITY USA) — every painted surface protected with self-healing film

Full window tint — ceramic film on all side and rear windows for heat rejection and UV protection

Windshield protection film — a nearly invisible layer of protection against rock chips on the windshield

Full Gtechniq ceramic coating — applied over the PPF for hydrophobic properties and extreme gloss enhancement

Why Stack PPF + Ceramic Coating?

PPF and ceramic coating serve different purposes, and combining them gives you the ultimate protection:

PPF handles physical protection — rock chips, scratches, bug impacts, road debris

Ceramic coating handles chemical protection — water repellency, UV resistance, contaminant resistance

Together, the PPF absorbs impacts while the ceramic top layer makes the surface self-cleaning and ultra-glossy

Ceramic coating also makes the PPF easier to maintain — dirt and grime wash off with minimal effort

For a vehicle at this price point, the triple stack is the gold standard of protection. The total investment in PPF + tint + ceramic is a fraction of what a single paint repair would cost on a McLaren — where individual panels can run $5,000–$15,000 to repaint.

The Installation: Why McLarens Are Challenging

McLaren body panels are not like regular cars. The 750S presents several unique challenges that require experienced installers:

Dihedral doors — the iconic upward-swinging doors create complex panel transitions that need perfectly aligned PPF edges

Carbon fiber monocoque — exposed carbon elements require special handling to avoid damage during installation

Active aero — the rear wing and front splitter move, so PPF edges need to account for panel movement

Engine bay venting — the side intakes and rear engine cowl have complex 3D surfaces that require hand-trimming

Low ride height — at just 4.7 inches, the front end catches everything the road throws at it

Our installers spent 4 full days on this build. Every panel was individually templated, cut, and applied with precision. The engine bay area alone required several hours of careful work around air intakes and venting.

Window Tint: Not Just for Looks

The ceramic window tint on this 750S serves multiple purposes beyond aesthetics:

Blocks 99% of harmful UV rays — protecting the Alcantara interior and your skin

Reduces interior heat by up to 60% — critical in a car with a massive glass canopy

Cuts windshield glare for safer driving in Pacific Northwest conditions

Adds privacy without the "limo dark" look — we used a tasteful shade that keeps the McLaren's aggressive visibility

We also applied a windshield protection film — a nearly clear PPF-like layer on the windshield that absorbs rock chip impacts. On a car this low, rocks from trucks and lifted vehicles are a constant threat. The windshield film provides peace of mind on every drive.

The Invisible Result

The best compliment we can get on a build like this? "I can't tell anything was done." That means the PPF is optically clear, the ceramic coating enhances — not changes — the factory gloss, and the window tint looks factory. Everything is invisible, but the protection is very real.

This McLaren can now be driven hard — canyons, highways, rain — without the owner worrying about rock chips destroying the paint, UV rays fading the finish, or interior heat cooking the cabin. The Gtechniq ceramic coat over the PPF means a quick rinse brings back full gloss. No clay bar, no polish — just rinse and go.

How Much Does the Triple Stack Cost?

The PPF + Tint + Ceramic triple stack is our most comprehensive protection package. Pricing varies by vehicle:

Standard sedan/coupe: $6,000–$10,000 for the full triple stack

Luxury/performance vehicles: $8,000–$12,000

Exotic supercars (McLaren, Ferrari, Lamborghini): $10,000–$18,000+

Each component (PPF, tint, ceramic) can also be purchased individually

Most of our exotic car clients opt for the triple stack because the cost of protection is negligible compared to the cost of the vehicle — and the cost of damage repair. A single door panel respray on a McLaren can run $5,000+. Full body PPF prevents that entirely.
