A full-body clear PPF on a crossover like the Ioniq 5 is quoted by the car — the clamshell hood, long door skins, and liftgate take more film and labour than a sedan. Ceramic coating and windshield film are each quoted on top and come in cheaper bundled, because the car is decontaminated and prepped once.

This 2024 Hyundai Ioniq 5 came into our Calgary shop in factory gloss black and left looking the same, only deeper — the whole body under self-healing clear paint protection film. Full-body install: clamshell hood, fenders, all four doors, quarters, liftgate, roof pillars, mirror caps, the flush door handles, the charge port door, and the painted bumper sections, with the film tucked around every edge and post-heated. Black is the least forgiving colour there is for swirls and rock chips, and the Ioniq 5 has long flat door skins and a sharp diagonal body crease that show every mark — exactly the car full clear PPF is made for.
Over the film the exterior got a full ceramic coating — paint, glass, wheels, and the satin silver cladding — so the car sheets water and rinses clean instead of holding Calgary road grime and winter salt. The windshield was finished in optically clear windshield protection film: invisible, wiper- and ADAS-safe, and replaceable if it ever takes a hit on Deerfoot or Highway 2. The pixel headlights and tail lamps, silver arches, and factory aero wheels were left exactly as Hyundai built them. Paint untouched underneath; the whole package is reversible.

Black shows swirls, wash marks, and rock chips more than any other colour, and the Ioniq 5 has large flat panels that put them on display. Full clear paint protection film puts a self-healing urethane layer over every painted panel, so chips and scratches land on the film instead of the paint and light swirls disappear with heat. The car keeps its factory gloss black look and the film is removable.
PPF stops physical damage; ceramic coating makes the surface slick and hydrophobic. Over film it means water, mud, and winter road salt release easily, the car stays cleaner between washes, and the gloss is deeper. On this Ioniq 5 the coating went over the film as well as the glass, wheels, and trim.
Windshield protection film is an optically clear film applied to the outside of the glass to absorb rock strikes that would otherwise chip or crack it. It is invisible once installed, safe for wipers, and does not interfere with the forward camera or driver-assist sensors. If it takes a hard hit, the film is replaced instead of the windshield.
At YYC Wraps a full-body clear PPF install is quoted by the vehicle, with ceramic coating quoted on top and windshield protection film starting at $699. Doing all three together costs less than doing them separately because the car is washed, decontaminated, and prepped once. We quote every vehicle in person at our Calgary shop.
Hand wash with a pH-neutral soap, or use a touchless car wash; avoid brush washes. No wax or polish is needed — the coating does that job. Light swirls in the film self-heal with heat from the sun or warm water.
