Rivian Protection
Rivian owners don't buy a truck to keep it in the garage. Our protection packages are for vehicles that see gravel roads, beach trips, bike racks, and daily highway miles.
• Why Rivian Needs Protection
Trail Rash & Gravel Damage
Ceramic coating makes a Rivian easier to wash. It does not stop branch scratches, gravel impacts, or trail pinstripes. For owners who leave pavement regularly, PPF on the lower doors, rockers, and fenders is the only product that physically prevents surface damage.
Gear Loading Wear on R1T
The gear tunnel doors, tailgate top edge, and bed rails see constant contact from coolers, bikes, camping gear, and everyday cargo. These areas develop scuffs and wear marks quickly. PPF on loading surfaces keeps them looking new.
R1S Cargo & Family Wear
The R1S rear cargo lip and bumper top take abuse from strollers, beach chairs, and dog crates. Lower door panels collect kicked-up sand and parking-lot door dings. Protection in these areas addresses the way families actually use the vehicle.
Big Glass, Big Heat
Like most modern EVs, Rivian's greenhouse is large. In Sarasota's year-round sun, unprotected glass means a hot cabin, UV-damaged interiors, and higher A/C draw that cuts into range. Ceramic tint solves all three.

• Frequently Asked Questions
Will ceramic coating stop trail scratches?
+
No. XPEL Fusion Plus ceramic coating helps with sun exposure, salt air, and easier washing, but it will not stop scratches from branches or gravel. XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS PPF is what protects against that kind of physical damage.
What should I protect first on my R1T?
+
Start with the front end: bumper, hood, fenders, mirrors, headlights, lower doors, and rockers. On the R1T, we also recommend the gear tunnel doors, tailgate top edge, and bed loading surfaces — the places that get touched most.
Is full-body PPF overkill for a Rivian?
+
For regular off-road or dirt-road use, full-body XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS is a smart way to reduce trail rash and gravel damage. If you mostly drive on highways and in town, targeted PPF on the high-impact areas is a strong lower-cost option.
What tint should I get for Florida heat?
+
XPEL PRIME XR PLUS ceramic tint on all side and rear glass, plus the panoramic roof. It blocks a lot of heat, which matters in a vehicle with this much glass. Ceramic tint also reduces A/C use, which can help preserve EV range.
Anyone PPF their gear tunnel doors?
+
Yes. Gear tunnel doors and the tailgate top edge get scuffed easily by coolers, bikes, and camping gear. A few panels of XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS can prevent that wear and cost much less than repainting.
Should I just go through Rivian's Gear Shop for XPEL or find a local installer?
+
Rivian's Gear Shop offers some XPEL kits, usually partial front coverage and window tint, through authorized locations. A certified independent shop like ALSET Custom can install the full XPEL line, including ULTIMATE PLUS, STEALTH, and custom coverage options. We can also do PPF, ceramic coating, and window tint in one visit, and XPEL products include manufacturer warranty coverage.
Can I get a matte look without repainting? What's XPEL Stealth?
+
XPEL STEALTH is a satin-finish paint protection film that gives glossy paint a matte or satin look while still protecting it. It's a popular choice for Rivian R1T and R1S owners who want the matte look without repainting. If you remove it later, the original finish is still there. It carries the same 10-year XPEL warranty as ULTIMATE PLUS.
