In New York, an increasing number of Tesla and high-end car owners choose to have their vehicles coated with PPF (invisible car paint) at the XPEL authorized installation center to receive true factory-level protection. As the first professional installation store in the New York City center that has been officially certified by Tesla and officially authorized by XPEL, T-House has set a benchmark in the industry with its precise craftsmanship, dust-free and constant-temperature construction environment, and official warranty system. From preventing stone strikes during daily commutes to custom matte finish color modifications, T-House enables every car owner to experience the ultimate protection and factory-level quality from XPEL.

In the field of car protective films, XPEL is one of the brands that represent the highest global standards for invisible car coatings (Paint Protection Film, PPF). It is renowned for its advanced self-repairing technology, corrosion resistance, and high-definition transparency, and is favored by high-end car owners such as Tesla, Porsche, and BMW.
However, becoming a XPEL Authorized Install Center is no easy task. This status requires the store to pass through XPEL's rigorous review and long-term cooperation assessment, and to meet the official requirements in multiple aspects such as construction environment, equipment standards, material usage, and technician training.
① The true meaning of official certification
Obtaining the XPEL authorization means that the construction center can:
Use original factory-certified film materials (including Ultimate Plus, Stealth, and Fusion series);
Have official trained technicians who are familiar with XPEL's standardized construction procedures;
Use DAP (Design Access Program) digital template system to achieve bladeless film cutting;
Provide customers with factory-level warranty and after-sales support, which can be verified through the XPEL system.
This not only ensures the consistency and safety of each construction process, but also represents the store's authoritative position within the XPEL global network.
② Differences from Ordinary Film-Making Shops
Although unauthorized stores may offer similar "XPEL film materials", in many cases, the products used are not genuine official products. Even in terms of the construction environment, equipment precision and the preservation of the film materials, there are significant differences. Common problems include: residual glue on the film surface, bubbles, cracking at the edge, and no traceable warranty, etc.
The XPEL Authorized Install Center is uniformly supervised by the headquarters. All materials, batches, and installation records can be traced back through the XPEL official system, ensuring that customers receive genuine factory-level quality and after-sales support.
③ Why Choose XPEL Authorized Center?
For car owners in high-risk road environments like those in New York, choosing an authorized repair center is not just an investment in vehicle appearance protection, but also a guarantee for the long-term value and safety of the vehicle. At T-House, each vehicle undergoes repair in a dust-free and temperature-controlled workshop, carried out by XPEL-certified technicians, and the process is simultaneously recorded in the official warranty database. What you receive is a certificate of trust and professionalism from XPEL's official approval.
Why Choose an XPEL Authorized Installer? — The Difference Between Certified and Ordinary

The authorization center adheres to the international-level construction and quality control standards set by XPEL headquarters. Every step directly affects the visual effect and durability of the final product.
a. Officially trained technicians, leading to more precise construction
Every technician of the XPEL authorized contractors must pass the technical training and assessment organized by XPEL headquarters, and be familiar with the specified construction techniques and compliance standards of the brand.
During the fitting process, the technicians will use the XPEL DAP (Design Access Program) template system to precisely pre-cut according to the CAD data of the vehicle model, ensuring no cutting with a knife and no damage to the original paint. Different from ordinary manual cutting, the DAP system can control the error within ±0.1mm.
b. Use original factory membrane materials, ensuring traceability of quality
Only authorized official stores can directly obtain genuine film materials from XPEL, including Ultimate Plus (glossy), Stealth (matte) and Fusion Plus (ceramic coating series). Each roll of film has an independent batch number and anti-counterfeiting code. After application, you can verify the authenticity on the XPEL official website. In contrast, common problems for non-authorized stores include:
Using "parallel imported films" or fake films results in low transparency and easy yellowing;
Lack of a temperature-controlled construction environment leads to edge curling;
There is no official warranty, and after-sales service cannot be traced.
c. Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) Quality Assurance System, with a maximum guarantee period of 10 years
Selecting XPEL Authorized Installer will grant you the longest 10-year official warranty, covering issues such as discoloration, cracks, peeling and delamination. The warranty records are synchronized to XPEL's global database, allowing you to enjoy original factory after-sales support no matter where you are. Warranty inquiry: Just enter the membrane serial number to verify on the XPEL official website.
d. The quality control standards are higher than the industry average
The XPEL authorized center must have a sterile and constant-temperature construction environment (Class 1000) to ensure that the dust particle content in the air is below the industry standard, preventing bubbles and defects after the construction. Additionally, the entire construction process must be recorded and made transparent for inspection.
e. Data Support: Users' Real Feedback
According to the official after-sales data of XPEL, 75% of the car owners, after experiencing a failure of an unauthorized repair, will choose to go to the authorized center for a rework. While users who completed the repair at the XPEL authorized stores have an satisfaction rate of over 97%, and the rate of quality guarantee applications is less than 1%.

Maintenance Tips for XPEL PPF

After installing the XPEL Invisible Car Cover (PPF), following the correct maintenance methods can significantly extend the lifespan of the film material and maintain its shine as if it were a new car. The following are the professional maintenance suggestions for XPEL, summarized by the official technicians of T-House, to help your Tesla maintain its best condition for a long time.
Use a neutral cleaning solution to maintain the luster and transparency.
The official recommendation from XPEL is to use pH-neutral car film-specific car wash liquid, such as WrapCare™ Cleanser or products of the same level. This cleaning solution can effectively remove surface stains while not damaging the anti-fouling coating on the surface of the membrane layer.
Regularly use the protection spray (every 3 months)
To maintain the gloss and protective properties of the film surface, it is recommended to use XPEL official protection spray or WrapCare™ Shield once every 3 months. The spray can form an additional hydrophobic layer, enhancing dust resistance, stain resistance and UV protection. Regular maintenance can extend the lifespan of PPF by approximately 20-30%.
Avoid spraying high-pressure water directly onto the edges.
The high-pressure water gun may cause the edge of the membrane material to be compressed and lift up, affecting the overall fit. When cleaning, please keep the nozzle at least 1 meter away from the membrane edge and avoid directly spraying at the edge. If you notice a slight lifting of the edge, please go to T-House immediately for inspection and repair.
Book Professional Maintenance Service
T-House offers the WrapCare™ Regular Maintenance Program, which includes:
Professional cleaning and decontamination of the membrane surface;
Inspection and repair of the folded edges;
Restoration of luster and reinforcement of the anti-fouling layer.
This type of professional maintenance can restore the original texture and transparency without damaging the film layer, allowing PPF to maintain a perfect state for a long time.
FAQ — XPEL Authorized Installation
Q1. What does “XPEL Authorized Installer” mean?
"XPEL Authorized Installer" refers to the construction stores that have been strictly audited and trained by XPEL headquarters. Authorized stores must meet the official construction environment standards (such as constant temperature and dust-free workshops), and use genuine XPEL membrane materials and DAP template systems for non-surgical film cutting operations. Authorized technicians possess official training qualifications and can provide original factory warranty and data filing after the construction.
Only authorized installation centers can offer genuine XPEL products for installation and provide verifiable warranty.
Q2. Does XPEL PPF affect radar or sensors?
No. The XPEL film material is made of highly transparent TPU material, which will not interfere with radar waves, ultrasonic waves or camera recognition. Especially for Tesla models, T-House uses the official CAD template to avoid the sensor areas, ensuring that the Autopilot, parking assistance and safety detection systems are fully functional. After installation, T-House will conduct radar and sensor tests to confirm that the system is correct.
Q3: How long does XPEL PPF last?
The original XPEL film material has an average lifespan of approximately 7–10 years, depending on the vehicle model, driving conditions, and regular maintenance.
Both XPEL Ultimate Plus and Stealth enjoy a 10-year official warranty, covering issues such as yellowing, detaching, cracking and peeling. Regular cleaning and a maintenance once every 3 months can extend the service life by approximately 20%.
Q4. Can I apply PPF on a new car?
OK. Modern car paints are fully cured at the time of production and do not require waiting. T-House recommends installing PPF within 7 days after vehicle delivery, which can minimize damage to the paint surface caused by initial stone strikes, bird droppings, or acid rain.
If there are minor stains or scratches on the car paint, T-House will first carry out professional polishing and cleaning procedures.
Q5. How to verify if a shop is officially XPEL certified?
You can verify it in the following two ways:
Search for the store name or postal code on the official XPEL website.
After the construction is completed, request the official XPEL warranty card and the batch number of the membrane material from the store.
Authorized stores such as T-House (in the center of New York) will synchronize all construction information to the official database of XPEL. Owners can check the warranty status and construction records at any time.
