The Rocky Mountain Package is AutoGlow’s flagship all-in-one protection system — engineered for Colorado’s harsh conditions and built for drivers who want long-term protection, unmatched gloss, and stress-free maintenance.
This guide covers everything you need to know: what’s included, recommended upgrades, proper maintenance, and expert-level tips to keep your vehicle looking new for years.
What the Rocky Mountain Package Includes
The Rocky Mountain Package is a comprehensive triple-protection system:
1. Full Front Paint Protection Film (PPF)
We install self-healing, 8-mil paint protection film on the highest-impact areas of your vehicle:
- Full front bumper
- Full hood
- Full fenders
- Mirror caps
- Door cups
- Headlights (when allowed)
Why PPF matters in Colorado:
I-25, mountain passes, gravel roads, and winter mag chloride destroy unprotected paint fast. PPF prevents 90% of rock chips, pitting, and surface damage.
2. 10-Year Ceramic Coating on All Paint
All painted surfaces not covered by film are coated using a premium 10-year ceramic coating. This gives you:
- UV resistance
- Hydrophobic water behavior
- Slick, easier-to-clean surfaces
- Gloss enhancement
- Chemical & bird-dropping resistance
Ceramic coating bonds to the clear coat, forming a long-term protective layer.
3. Full Ceramic Window Tint
This includes ceramic film on all side and rear windows for:
- Heat reduction
- UV protection
- Interior fade prevention
- Glare control
- Enhanced privacy
You choose the shade that fits your style and Colorado law.
Recommended Add-Ons
These elevate long-term durability and appearance:
1. 2-Step Paint Correction
Removes 70-90% of:
- Swirls
- Micro-scratches
- Holograms
- Minor defects
Highly recommended for black or dark-colored vehicles.
2. Glass Ceramic Coating
Makes glass hydrophobic and reduces snow/ice adhesion.
Water sheets off at 35+ mph.
3. Wheel & Caliper Ceramic Coating
Reduces brake dust buildup, staining, and winter corrosion.
4. Door Jamb Ceramic Coating
Keeps high-touch areas clean with minimal effort.
5. Interior Ceramic Coating
Protects against stains, spills, and daily wear.
Maintenance Guide — How to Care for Your Rocky Mountain Package
This is the most important section for long-term results. Read carefully.
⏱ First 7 Days — Let Everything Cure
- No washing
- No rolling windows down
- No aggressive snow brushing
- Limited exposure to contaminants
- Avoid pressure washing edges of film
After 7 days, your protection systems are ready for normal use.
Wash Routine (Every 2 Weeks)
To maintain your film and ceramic coating properly, follow this method:
1. Use Only a pH-Neutral Soap
This is non-negotiable for coatings and PPF.
Why pH-neutral is important:
- Won’t degrade ceramic coating
- Won’t cloud or discolor PPF
- Won’t strip hydrophobic layer
- Safe on all trim, plastics, and wheels
We highly recommend a dedicated, high-quality pH-neutral wash, not generic store-brand soaps.
2. Use a Foam Cannon + Two-Bucket Method
Correct process:
- Foam cannon pre-soak
- Two buckets (soap + rinse)
- Dedicated wash mitts (top panels / lower panels)
- Light pressure, straight-line motions
3. Apply Nanoskin Supercharger (Your Maintenance Secret Weapon)
Supercharger is one of our preferred maintenance products for ceramic-coated and PPF vehicles.
Why we recommend it:
- Adds hydrophobic gloss instantly
- Helps your coating perform like new
- Adds slickness, making washing easier
- Extends the life of your ceramic coating
- Safe on PPF, paint, wheels, glass, trim
When to use it:
- Every 4–6 weeks
- After winter washes
- After heavy rain or mud
- Anytime hydrophobic behavior starts to fade
Spray on while the vehicle is wet, rinse off, then dry.
4. Dry With a Professional 3D Drying Towel
Do NOT use cheap towels.
Why the 3D towel is ideal:
- Ultra-soft microfiber
- Absorbs tons of water quickly
- Won’t scratch PPF or ceramic-coated surfaces
- Reduces risk of swirls
- Leaves no lint
- Works well paired with an air blower
If you’re drying with a blower, use the 3D towel only for touch-up or panel edges.
PPF Maintenance Tips
- Scratches self-heal with heat
- Don’t clay bar PPF unless we direct you
- Avoid harsh chemicals like bug/tar remover
- Use ceramic-safe spray sealants only
- If film edges collect dirt, we can fix it
Ceramic Coating Maintenance Tips
To keep your coating performing like new:
Use:
✔ pH-neutral soap
✔ Nanoskin Supercharger
✔ Microfiber mitts
✔ 3D microfiber drying towel
✔ Air blower (optional but ideal)
Avoid:
❌ Automatic car washes
❌ Abrasive sponges
❌ Harsh degreasers
❌ Dish soap
❌ Cheap “miracle shine” spray products
Window Tint Maintenance

- Use tint-safe glass towels
- Minor haze/bubbles = normal curing
