Colorado hail season can dent and etch unprotected paint in minutes. Here is how PPF, ceramic coating, and smart habits help your vehicle weather the storms.

Hail Season and Your Windshield

Colorado's Front Range is one of the most hail-prone areas in the country. Hail can chip and crack windshields, and small chips can spread into cracks with Colorado's temperature swings. We offer free assessments to help you decide whether a chip can be repaired or the glass needs full replacement. We work with all major insurance companies and handle the claim paperwork, and after a windshield replacement we perform the ADAS recalibration your vehicle's safety systems require.

What PPF and Ceramic Coating Can (and Can't) Do

Paint protection film protects the clear coat from rock chips, road debris, and light impacts, but it will not prevent hail dents. Ceramic coating makes contamination easier to wash off and adds UV protection for the finish. Both are worth having, but neither is a substitute for parking under cover when a storm is on the way.

Smart Habits for Hail Season

Park under cover when storms are forecast, check the radar during peak hail season (roughly spring through late summer), and get glass chips looked at quickly before they spread into cracks. A few minutes of prevention saves a windshield and a lot of hassle.

Hail Dents? Here's Who to Call

We are not a body shop, so for hail dents, consult a paintless dent repair (PDR) or licensed collision shop. Once the body work is done, we can help protect your vehicle with PPF, ceramic coating, and glass service — and get your windshield and safety systems back to factory spec.
