The Tesla Model X mixes super-car acceleration with family-bus practicality—but its thin, California-sprayed clear-coat faces coal dust, chip-seal, and winter salt on every Indiana County commute. One season of Route 119 gravel can pepper the nose, rocker panels, and rear hip flares with stone chips that cost \$1 000 + to respray and tank trade-in value.
Solution: install KAVACA™ Paint Protection Film (PPF)—a crystal-clear, self-healing TPU shield applied once at Ceramic Pro Indiana County in Josephine. Warranted 12 years, KAVACA absorbs impacts before they scar that six-figure EV.
Bottom line: PPF is the only product that physically stops rocks; coatings and waxes can’t.

| Pain Point | Local Source | Untreated Consequence |
|---|---|---|
| Chip-seal gravel | Spring repairs on US-119 & PA-56 | Stone pits on bumper & falcon-wing door edges |

| Winter brine & cinders | PennDOT plows | Etched clear-coat + rust pockets on rocker panels |
| Falcon-wing hinge grime | Mud splash at Indiana Mall | Corrosion & squeaks in door mechanism |
| Soft low-VOC clear-coat | OEM eco-paint | Chips at lower velocity vs. legacy paint |

Self-Healing Demo: Wash scratches vanish with 30 s of warm water or 10 min of July sun.
Optical Clarity: 0.1 % light scatter—Autopilot cameras stay perfect.
