Vilamoura attracts high-value cars from across Europe. The A22 motorway approach carries heavy lorry traffic and a corresponding stone chip risk. STEK-certified PPF at our Loulé studio — under ten minutes from the marina.
Arriving in Vilamoura typically means driving the A22 Via do Infante. The motorway carries significant HGV traffic year-round, and the chip damage it inflicts on the front panels of cars driving in convoy with lorries is real and cumulative. A clear self-healing film absorbs the impact that would otherwise reach the paint.
Once in Vilamoura, the marina environment introduces salt air from the ocean and extended periods of direct sun exposure. Cars parked at the marina dockside or at the casino face the same coastal conditions as those at the beach resorts — UV-accelerated oxidation and salt residue on horizontal surfaces — but with the added stone chip damage from the motorway approach.
“Cars driving into Vilamoura on the A22 behind the lorries all season come to me with the same pattern of chips across the bonnet — front partial film is the honest first move before anyone talks about full-body coverage.”
Bumper, partial bonnet, mirrors — the gravel line covered where the roads hit first.
Full front filmed and the rest of the car ceramic-coated — one protection logic for the whole body.
Every painted panel wrapped, edges tucked. Priced per model after inspection; headlight PPF available.
Final scope and price are confirmed at inspection — these are honest public anchors, not teaser rates.
For cars with significant motorway use, front and partial PPF is the most cost-efficient starting point — covering the bonnet, front bumper, wings and mirrors. Selected partial protection starts from €1,500; front PPF combined with ceramic coating for the rest starts from around €2,500. Full-body PPF covers every panel and is the right choice for the highest-value cars or owners who want comprehensive protection.
Headlight PPF protects LED, Matrix and Laser units from chip damage and UV. At Vilamoura latitudes, headlight yellowing from UV is a real degradation pattern on unprotected units.
STEK DYNOshield and equivalent premium materials recover from light surface marring through heat exposure — the Algarve sun does this passively.
Vilamoura's marina lifestyle often means travelling for weeks. A PPF or wrap project takes one to two weeks and the car stays securely at the studio for the duration of the work — with free pickup & delivery within 15 km of our Loulé studio. Bring the car in before the trip and pick it up finished and protected.

Our Loulé studio is under ten minutes from the marina — the nearest STEK-certified PPF installer to Vilamoura.
Yes, free within 15 km of our Loulé studio — Vilamoura is inside that radius. For a full-body project the car stays securely at the studio for one to two weeks and is returned protected.
Oleg & the team did a fantastic job restoring my 1995 Jeep Wrangler — on budget, on time and exactly as promised, with regular photos and updates throughout. Excellent job. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend and use again. 5*
A huge thank you to you and your team! My car has never looked so clean! Just Cars did an amazing job making my car look brand new. It was full of sand, dirt, food — everything the kids could possibly put in it, and years since its last proper detail. Just Cars was amazing. A huge thank you!!
My wife and I have been using Just Cars for a while now and always find the service fantastic — very professional and helpful. They've done numerous things for us, from valet to fitting stereos and mechanical work. Would highly recommend them.
I've had a great experience with JustCars — definitely a place I'll be coming back to! A professional team with friendly, down-to-earth people who clearly care about the quality of their work. Keep it up, guys — wishing you all the success!
The guys did work on the Ferrari and they did a great job — thank you!
Oleg is great. I bought a used BMW X5 from a private seller and the aluminium centre console had a few scratches. Oleg made it look brand new with a flawless wrap. Highly recommended.
So glad I found Just Cars. Oleg and his team sorted a small issue with my car's finish within 24 hours — and they're specialists in every kind of car maintenance. Highly recommended.
We had a tricky problem — removing dried-out vinyl lettering from our van that even the signage company couldn't manage. Alek quickly came up with a solution and the work was high-quality and super fast. Recommended for excellent professionalism.
When you love your car, go to Just Cars!!! What they do is truly amazing. When you collect your car it's better than picking it up from the Porsche dealership — and far better protected. Steven
