Rivian Paint Protection
In Phoenix, where the sun relentlessly shines, safeguarding your Rivian’s paint is not just a matter of aesthetics but a necessity. At HQD, an award-winning paint protection studio located in the heart of the East Valley, we specialize in providing top-tier paint protection solutions. Our expert team is dedicated to ensuring that your Rivian, or any vehicle, maintains its showroom condition when up against the harsh Arizona elements. Two standout options in our paint protection arsenal are Paint Protection Film (PPF) and Ceramic Coatings – each offering unique benefits, and when combined, they create the ultimate paint protection package.
Paint Protection Film For Rivian’s
PPF, commonly known as “clear bra,” is a thermoplastic urethane film applied to the painted surfaces of a vehicle. This technology was initially developed for military use on helicopter rotor blades but has since become a popular paint protection method for vehicles. It acts as a robust shield against rock chips, road debris, bug splatter, and minor abrasions. The film is virtually invisible and does not alter the original color or design elements of your Rivian when gloss PPF is used. Should you want to change the color of your Rivian or create a satin/matte finish, color PPF and matte PPF are great options too.
Our skilled team at HQD meticulously applies PPF, ensuring a flawless finish. The advantage of paint protection film (PPF) lies in its self-healing properties. Minor scratches and swirls disappear with heat exposure – either from the sun or warm water – keeping your vehicle looking as good as new.
Rivian Ceramic Coatings
While PPF provides physical protection, Ceramic Coatings offers a different kind of shield. This liquid polymer chemically bonds with the vehicle’s factory paint, creating a hydrophobic (water-repellent) surface layer. This layer not only adds gloss and depth to the paint but also makes cleaning easier, as dirt and grime do not stick to the surface.
Ceramic coatings also provide excellent chemical resistance against acidic contaminants, bird droppings, and air pollutants that can etch or dull the paint over time. Additionally, it offers some level of UV protection, helping prevent paint fading in the intense Arizona sun.
Combining PPF and Ceramic Coatings: The Ultimate Protection Package
For those seeking the best of both worlds, combining PPF and Ceramic Coatings is the way to go. This duo provides comprehensive protection for your Rivian. The PPF guards against physical damage, while the ceramic coating adds chemical resistance and ease of maintenance.
At HQD, we recommend a full PPF install or installing PPF on high-impact areas such as the front bumper, hood, fenders, and side mirrors. Following the PPF application, we apply a ceramic coating over the entire vehicle, including the PPF. This combination not only ensures maximum protection but also extends the longevity of both products. The ceramic coating enhances the PPF’s resistance to environmental contaminants and makes its surface even more hydrophobic.
Car Customization – Beyond Paint Protection
Apart from PPF and Ceramic Coatings, HQD offers a range of services to enhance and protect your Rivian. Our window tinting service can keep your vehicle cooler and protect the interior from UV rays. Vinyl wrapping allows for personalization, providing an array of colors and finishes to choose from. Furthermore, our aftermarket services can help elevate your vehicle’s performance and appearance to match your personal style.
