What drivers say about the work

Mustafa and his team PPF'ed, Ceramic Coated and detailed my 1992 Toyota Supra, and the car now looks stunning. He kept me informed of the job progress, corrected areas that had been poorly done by others and the results could not have been better. He also detailed inside and out a family member's 2020 Toyota Tacoma, and again the vehicle turned out brilliantly. It is his attention to detail, absolute commitment to satisfying the customer that stands out. He is honest, never hesitates to answer questions and I cannot recommend him and his business higher. He is definitely an exceptional provider in his industry.

These guys are professional, respectful and honest. I needed my paint protection film replaced because it was peeling on me, I gave them a call and they were able to get me in the next day. Mo took a look at my car and recommended that there was no need to remove all the paint protection film and just replace the bumper because all the other parts was perfectly fine. We also looked at some scratches that were really bothering me on my car's paint work and he recommended that I get my car paint corrected and ceramic coated. After they were done with my vehicle my car looked like it came out of the factory without a single scratch on it. I will definitely be recommending them to all my friends and family.

I got my rav 4 detailed here amazing work I’ve been coming here ever since I got it. I did my paint protection film here as well they did a complementary check on the ppf that was previously done and gave me a great deal on protecting my headlights. I would recommend this place to anyone who would like to get their car cleaned or protected.
Aya A.Google review · Dec 2025 · Toyota RAV4
I had my mom’s car detailed here in advance of listing it for sale. Booking online and knowing the full costs upfront were really helpful. The location near chinook is convenient. I was able to catch an Uber to get to a business luncheon nearby while I waited. As an added bonus they were able to repair rock chips so it’s like a one stop shop! If you want to wait while your car is in, there’s coffee and couches for you to hang Out on. I’ll recommend to friends and book other vehicles in the future.

Amazing service. Mustafa was exceptional in getting this done with Protection Film and Restoration. Definitely worth the price and time.
Jamaal W.Google review · Jan 2025
I didn't think it was possible. Wow. I dropped off a 7 year old car with scratches and stained carpet,.. and got a gleaming show car back. The ceramic coating is astonishing -- its like the car has a “doesn't get dirty” superpower. Did I mention the shine? Well done Mo and your team.
Wes C.Google review · Jul 2023
The team did a superb job restoring our 2018 GLS450 Mercedes to as close to showroom standard as possible - in addition to the superb work completed, I was sincerely grateful at how easy it was to book a same day service (I was lucky I suspect!)
Tim C.Google review · Jul 2024 · 2018 Mercedes GLS 450
I would highly recommend this company. Mustafa and his crew are very knowledgeable, professional and do exceptional work for reasonable pricing. They go out of their way to satisfy their clients. They made my red 2015 Durango look brand new! Thanks for everything, TG.
Beverly P.Google review · Aug 2025 · 2015 Dodge Durango
Mo and his team transformed the interior of our extremely dusty and dirty back-roads work truck into brand new showroom quality. Their Ozone treatment removed all the built up smell of dirty/wet coveralls and chemicals. From booking the appointment to picking up the truck it was a short 48-hour turn around. 100% will be returning for repeat business.
Paul B.Google review · Jan 2024 · Work truck
Did an excellent job detailing my 4Runner. They managed to get all of the dog hair out of the carpet and all the crevices it accumulated over the summer/fall, which is amazing considering I have two massively shedding pugs. Will definitely use their services again.

Calgary roads are hard on paint

Highway gravel, winter grit and salt brine all land on the front of the car first.
  • Gravel and grit

    Stones thrown up at highway speed chip the hood, bumper and mirrors, and each chip can take paint down to the primer.

  • Salt brine

    The City treats roads with sodium and calcium chloride. Brine settles into every open chip.

  • Swirls and scratches

    The film's self-healing top coat lets light scratches and swirl marks level out with warmth.

  • Chips add up

    One chip is a touch-up. A season of them means paintwork on the front end. Film over those panels keeps the factory paint you have now.

How we install it

Cut by computer, laid by hand in a clean bay, and checked before you get the keys.
  1. Top coat 0.5 milSelf-healing and hydrophobic. Light scratches level out with warmth.
  2. Urethane 6 milClear, flexible film that absorbs the impact.
  3. Adhesive 1.5 milHolds the film to the clear coat.
  4. Your factory paint, underneath
8 mil in total, thinner than a credit card.
  1. Inspect and prep

    We look the paint over under studio lights, then wash and decontaminate it. If it needs correcting first, we tell you before any film goes on.
  2. Plot the pattern

    Digital pattern software pulls the exact pattern for your make and model, and a plotter cuts the film before it ever touches your car.
  3. Lay and wrap

    The film is laid by hand, and we extend the pattern around panel edges where the panel allows, so the edge hides.
  4. Check and hand over

    Every edge is checked under the lights. Partial fronts are usually a single appointment; full fronts take about a day.

PPF packages and prices

Same films, same 10-year film warranty on every package. The difference is how much of the car is covered.

What to ask any PPF shop

Put these to anyone you are getting a price from. Here are our answers.
Ask any shopAt Obsidian Auto
Is the film cut on my car with a blade?No. A plotter cuts every pattern before the film touches your paint.
Are the edges wrapped?Yes, on the hood and wherever else the panel allows, so you don't see a film line.
Can you install in winter?Yes. Film needs a warm bay to go on properly, and ours are heated and climate-controlled all year.
Which films, and are you certified?We install 3M, STEK, SunTek and GSWF film, and we are a certified 3M, GSWF and ARK installer.
What's the warranty?10-year film warranty, transferable, plus a lifetime workmanship guarantee for as long as you own the vehicle.
How fast do I get a price?We'll text your quote the same day, for your car, not a range.

Questions people ask us

Straight answers. If yours isn't here, ask it on the form and we'll answer with your quote.
How much does PPF cost in Calgary?

PPF starts at $399 for The Essential (partial hood and fenders). The Standard (front bumper plus partial hood) starts at $699. Full front coverage with wrapped edges, The Signature, starts at $1,499, and full-vehicle coverage starts at $4,999. Every price includes the 10-year film warranty and our lifetime workmanship guarantee.

Does PPF yellow over time?

Modern paint protection film does not yellow. The 8-mil urethane films we install (3M, STEK, SunTek, GSWF) use non-yellowing top coats, backed by a 10-year warranty against yellowing, cracking and peeling, plus our lifetime workmanship guarantee.

Do you cut the film on my car's paint?

Never. We use digital pattern software to plot a pattern for your exact make and model, then cut the film on a plotter before it ever touches your vehicle, so there are no knives near your clear coat.

Can PPF really heal its own scratches?

Yes. The self-healing top coat repairs light scratches and swirl marks: warm the panel (sunlight, warm water, a heated garage) and the mark levels out. It works on fine surface scratches, not deep gouges through the film.

What's the difference between PPF and clear bra?

They're the same thing. Clear bra is the older name for transparent urethane paint protection film.

How long does installation take?

Partial front packages (The Essential, The Standard) take 3 to 5 hours in a single appointment. Full front packages (The Signature, The Velocity) usually take a full day. Full-body coverage (The Masterpiece) takes 5 to 7 days. Our studio is climate-controlled, so we don't reschedule for weather.

Can I add a ceramic coating over the film?

Yes, and we recommend it. The film goes on first as the impact layer, then the coating goes over it for easier washing and gloss. Add any ceramic coating to any PPF package and the coating is 20% off. The Masterpiece includes ceramic coating.

How do I pay, and is there a deposit?

We accept Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Interac Debit and cash. Credit cards carry a 2.4% surcharge, and a deposit is taken on all bookings. We don't offer financing.
