Frequently Asked Questions

PPF is physical film protection against stone chips, road grit and light abrasion. Ceramic coating improves gloss, UV resistance, water behaviour and washing, but it does not stop stone chips. Many Algarve cars need PPF on impact zones and ceramic on the rest.

Partial or front PPF starts from EUR 1,500 after inspection. Full-body STEK PPF starts from EUR 6,000. The final price depends on the car, film, coverage and paint preparation needed before installation.

Yes. STEK is our main PPF brand. It is the default route for many protection projects, with a 10-year manufacturer material warranty and a JustCars installation/workmanship warranty confirmed with the project.

Ceramic coating packages start from EUR 1,000, with EUR 1,500 and EUR 2,000 options depending on preparation, coverage and the condition of the car. Paint correction is assessed before coating because ceramic locks in the surface underneath.

No. Ceramic coating is a thin finish layer for gloss, easier cleaning and chemical/UV resistance. If stone-chip protection is the concern, the correct solution is PPF.

Partial wrap, accents or dechrome work starts from EUR 200 per part. A full colour-change wrap is usually around EUR 3,500 depending on the car, film, coverage and paint preparation.

No. Vinyl wrap changes the look of the car; PPF protects paint from impact. There are coloured or hybrid PPF films, but they are quoted separately after material choice and inspection.

The JustCars wash menu is fixed: safe hand wash from EUR 75, detailed wash from EUR 150, and deep wash/interior detail from EUR 300. The right level depends on condition, use and whether the car has PPF, wrap or ceramic coating.

For beach sand, neglected interiors, family use or pre-sale preparation, the deep wash from EUR 300 is normally the honest starting point. We check the car first and confirm whether it needs cleaning only or restoration too.

Enhancement polish starts from EUR 450. Full paint correction starts from EUR 1,000 after inspection. We measure paint depth first and explain what can be safely corrected before any machine polishing starts.

No. Polishing can reduce swirls, oxidation, holograms and many light scratches. Deep scratches that cut through the clear coat need paint, RestorFX assessment or another repair route.

Yes. JustCars is an official RestorFX centre. We assess whether the paint is suitable for no-respray restoration, or whether repainting is the more honest answer.

RestorFX can make sense when the clear coat is suitable but dull, oxidised or micro-marred. It is not a cure for structural paint failure, cracking or deep damage. Inspection decides.

Yes. We handle deep interior cleaning, leather care, steering wheel restoration, upholstery repair, headliners, trim and pre-sale cabin preparation. Pricing depends on material and damage after inspection.

Yes. CarPlay and Android Auto upgrades start from EUR 300 after a compatibility check. The correct route depends on the car, existing head unit, wiring and desired finish.

Yes. Automotive window film starts from EUR 350 after checking the vehicle and legal requirements. We can discuss heat, glare, UV protection and documentation before fitting.

Yes. Headlight restoration starts from EUR 125 per headlight. Headlight PPF is EUR 250 for the pair when the headlights are in normal condition and suitable for film.

Yes. JustCars works from Almancil and Loulé, serving Quinta do Lago, Vale do Lobo, Vilamoura, Quarteira, Faro and the Algarve Golden Triangle.

For PPF, wrap, paint correction, RestorFX, interior restoration, bodywork and many workshop jobs, yes. Inspection prevents wrong pricing and lets us recommend the correct solution for the car.

PPF is a thick protective film for stone chips and abrasion. Ceramic coating improves gloss, washing and chemical resistance, but it does not stop stone chips. A wrap changes the colour or finish and is mainly cosmetic unless it is a coloured protective film.

These services start with an inspection request. The team needs to see the car, paint condition, material choice and workshop capacity before confirming the final scope, date and price.

Wash and inspection visits can be requested online. For larger work, the online request is used to collect the car, contact details and preferred time so the team can confirm the right next step.

JustCars operates in Almancil and Loulé. Some detailing and protection routes are handled in Almancil, while workshop, Auto-Service and RestorFX-related routes may use Loulé. The team confirms the correct branch for the service.

For many services, no. Paint condition, panel size, previous repairs, existing film, trim condition and material choice can change the scope. Public prices are guidance unless the team confirms a final quote.

Normal public arrival hours are Monday to Saturday, 09:00-18:00. Sunday, out-of-hours and home/off-site requests are special paid exceptions confirmed by the team.

Yes. WhatsApp with photos is usually the best route for quotes and technical questions. Photos help the team prepare, but final scope is still confirmed after inspection where needed.

No. Ceramic is a thin coating for finish, water behaviour and easier cleaning. Headlights and paint that need impact protection should be assessed for PPF.
