Windshield Protection Film

Protect your glass. Preserve your safety. Designed for PNW roads.

Why Windshield Protection Matters in Washington State

If you drive in the Seattle area, you already know the deal: construction zones, gravel shoulders, potholes, and wet roads mean debris is everywhere — especially on I-5, 405, Highway 2, and rural Snohomish County routes.

And with rising replacement costs for modern windshields, a single rock chip can cost you thousands!

Most newer vehicles now integrate ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems) into the glass itself — features like:

Lane departure and lane-keeping assist
Adaptive cruise control
Forward collision warning
Heads-up display
Traffic sign recognition

When your windshield is damaged, those safety systems may need professional recalibration which adds $300–$700 on top of glass replacement, and in some cases requiring OEM parts that delay repairs and increase insurance exposure.

One of our customers recently paid $1,600 for a Tesla Model S windshield, just to restore factory safety features.

These costs are real, and they’re rising.

Insurance May Not Have Your Back

While glass damage used to be a “no-fault” claim, many insurance companies now count ADAS recalibration as an at-fault expense. That can raise your premiums and put you on the hook for more out-of-pocket costs — even if the damage wasn’t your fault.

What Is Windshield Protection Film?

Windshield Protection Film (WPF) is a crystal-clear, durable film applied to the outside of your windshield to stop cracks and chips before they start.

At APC Auto Spa, we install ClearPlex Contour by Ceramic Pro — the most advanced WPF available. It creates a sacrificial barrier that absorbs impacts from gravel, rock chips, tire debris, and salt spray — all while maintaining perfect visibility.

Unlike TPU films, ClearPlex Contour features a proprietary ultra-hard top coat that mimics the slick, smooth feel of glass and won’t haze, yellow, or scratch.

What Makes Contour Better Than TPU Films?

✅ Outperforms TPU films in chip and crack prevention
✅ Optically invisible — no distortion, tint, or glare
✅ Wiper-safe — won't cloud or streak with use
✅ Stays cleaner — resists dirt, sap, and grime buildup
✅ Self-healing surface — light scuffs disappear with heat
✅ Perfect for wet PNW winters and rough rural roads

How Long Does It Last?

ClearPlex Contour comes with an 18-month or 18,000-mile warranty, covering:

Yellowing
Bubbling
Peeling
Adhesive failure

In daily-use scenarios here in the Pacific Northwest, you can expect to get 12–24 months of reliable performance depending on mileage, road conditions, and weather exposure. If you commute via I-5 or participate in track/autocross events, annual replacement may be your best bet.

Who Should Consider This?

This protection is ideal for:

Seattle and Snohomish commuters regularly driving I-5, 405, Highway 2, or local construction zones
Tesla, Audi, BMW, Rivian, and Mercedes owners with OEM glass and embedded sensors
Track and autocross enthusiasts who see heavy tire debris and rubber
Weekend warriors with performance cars, SUVs, or trucks exposed to rural roads or highway debris
Anyone who’s replaced a windshield before — and doesn’t want to do it again

If you’re investing in ceramic coatings or paint protection, windshield protection is the final piece of the puzzle.
