Say Goodbye to Chips: Introducing Windshield Protection Film

Let’s be honest — if you drive in the Seattle area, you’ve probably been there: you're cruising along I-5 or 405, and ping — a rock hits your windshield. Maybe it leaves a tiny chip. Maybe it spiderwebs. Either way, it's frustrating, expensive, and all-too-common.

A rock chip occurs when a small piece of debris, such as a rock, impacts your windshield, causing a tiny break in the glass.

That’s why we’re excited to introduce a new service at APC Auto Spa: ClearPlex Contour Windshield Protection Film by Ceramic Pro. It’s a game-changer for anyone who wants to protect their view, preserve their OEM glass, and avoid costly recalibrations tied to modern vehicle safety systems.

Why Windshield Protection Matters

(Especially Here in the PNW)

In Western Washington, we deal with some seriously unpredictable driving conditions — gravel shoulders, construction zones, potholes, and constant rain. That combination makes your windshield especially vulnerable to chips, cracks, and debris impact.

But here’s the real kicker: Modern windshields aren’t “just glass” anymore. They're now integrated with Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) — like lane assist, adaptive cruise, and collision warning. One rock chip can mean:

• A full OEM glass replacement

• Recalibrating cameras and sensors

• $1,500+ in unexpected repair bills

• Insurance claims that may increase your rates

And yes — one of our own Tesla customers paid $1,600 out of pocket for a windshield.

From My Own Commute: It Works

I’ve had ClearPlex Contour installed on my own SUV for over seven months now. I commute between our Monroe and Tukwila shops several times a week — using both I-5 and 405, which are notorious for road debris.

I’ve taken multiple hits from rocks, and while the film shows the impact, my actual glass is completely undamaged. Not a single chip. Visibility is still crystal clear. It’s a no-brainer for me — I wouldn’t drive without it.

Multiple impacts has caused damage to the film, but the glass has no damage

What Makes This Film Different?

Most shops offering windshield protection use TPU-based films. Those can help with minor debris, but they scratch easily, reduce clarity, and don’t last long — especially with wiper use in our wet PNW weather.

ClearPlex Contour is different. It’s:

• Specifically engineered for windshield use

• Virtually invisible with no distortion

• Wiper-safe and scratch-resistant

• Backed by a manufacturer warranty

• Installed by Ceramic Pro Elite-certified technicians at APC
