Protecting One of the First 2025 Mercedes CLE53 AMG Sedans in Central Texas

The 2025 Mercedes CLE53 AMG Sedan is a true masterpiece of engineering and luxury, combining breathtaking design with exhilarating performance. With a 3.0L turbocharged inline-six engine featuring EQ Boost, this sedan delivers a remarkable 429 horsepower, taking it from 0 to 60 mph in just 4.3 seconds. As one of the first CLE53 AMG models to hit the roads in Central Texas, this car demanded premium protection to preserve its immaculate appearance and long-term value.

Recently, we had the honor of protecting this stunning CLE53 AMG with Autobahn Incognito Paint Protection Film (PPF) on the hood, bumper, and fenders. The client was so impressed with our work that they returned to have Autobahn window tint installed for added comfort and style.

Autobahn Incognito PPF: The First Line of Defense

Driving through Central Texas, especially on highways like I-35 and I-14, exposes vehicles to rock chips, road debris, and other hazards. High-speed driving only amplifies these risks, making paint protection film a must for luxury vehicles like the CLE53 AMG.


Autobahn Incognito PPF is the perfect solution. This ceramic-infused, hydrophobic film not only protects the vehicle from chips and scratches but also repels water and dirt, making maintenance effortless. With exceptional clarity and virtually no orange peel texture, it ensures the CLE53 AMG’s sleek design remains flawless.


For this car, we covered the hood, bumper, and fenders, wrapping all edges as standard for a seamless finish. However, we opted not to apply PPF to the carbon fiber mirrors due to the rare risk of delamination, a precaution we always prioritize for high-end cars.


Our dedication to excellence has earned us hundreds of five-star reviews, including one from Brian T., who wrote: “Mike and Matthew’s attention to detail on my Mercedes was outstanding. The PPF is invisible, and the finish is flawless!” We also follow up with every client two weeks after installation to ensure they’re completely satisfied with our work.


Autobahn PPF is backed by a lifetime warranty and a one-time no-fault warranty, providing peace of mind for years to come.

Autobahn Ceramic i3 Window Tint: Comfort and Style

After seeing the results of the PPF installation, our client returned for Autobahn Ceramic i3 window tint. This advanced tint blocks 99% of harmful UV rays and up to 93% of infrared heat, keeping the car’s interior cool and protecting it from fading and cracking. The tint also adds a sleek, finished look to the CLE53 AMG, enhancing its luxurious appeal.



Our tinter, Jose, is known as the best in Central Texas, with 13 years of experience and countless glowing reviews. For vehicles with frameless windows, such as Mercedes, Teslas, and Corvettes, Jose uses a precise shaving technique to achieve a seamless, factory-like finish. As Amy L. shared, “Jose did an amazing job on my windows. The tint is perfect, and the heat reduction is incredible!”

Changing a tesla cybertruck to black phantom red near killeen tx
By Matthew Jones March 29, 2025
Love them or hate them, the 2024 Cybertrucks are polarizing cars. At Harker Heights Ceramic Coatings, we love ALL cars, especially when we get to install color change PPF on them! We have 120 different colors to choose from, and this Killeen area client picked Black Phantom Red from UPPF / Terminax with a 10 year warranty. We have Interstellar Chrome Blue on our minivan, Diamond Black on our loaner car, and have installed the Satin Black on a previous Tesla Cybertruck, and all are holding up great! Despite the abuse that my personal Kia Carnival takes as well as our Kia Forte loaner car, the film maintains a great level of hydrophobics - making the film (and cars) super easy to detail. Even the recent dust storms we had in the Copperas Cove - Killeen - Temple area came off fairly easily with just soap and water (and no scrubbing).

Every year, we get customers asking: 🚘 "How can I protect my car from hail damage?" The short answer: A garage or covered structure is the only real way to stop hail damage.

Should You Pay Out of Pocket for Hail Damage Repair in Killeen, TX?
By Matthew Jones March 27, 2025
Short answer? Probably not. Hail damage repair in Killeen, TX, Harker Heights, and Copperas Cove can get very expensive—very fast. Many people assume that fixing hail damage is a simple, low-cost process until they see the final repair bill. We often have customers who purchase a car with existing hail damage, thinking they’ll fix it later. But once they realize how labor-intensive and costly hail repair actually is, they start to rethink their decision. If you’re considering paying out of pocket for hail repair, let’s break down why it’s almost never a good idea and what alternatives are available.
The Hail Damage Repair Supplement Process in Killeen, TX (And Why We Don’t Provide Written Estima
By Matthew Jones March 27, 2025
Hail damage repair in Killeen, TX, can be a frustrating process, especially when dealing with insurance claims and supplements. One of the longest parts of getting your vehicle repaired after a hailstorm is waiting for the insurance supplement approval—something many vehicle owners don’t realize upfront. If your car was caught in one of the recent hailstorms in Killeen, Copperas Cove, or Harker Heights, chances are your insurance company’s initial estimate was far too low. In fact, we can confidently say that 99.99% of all hail damage insurance estimates are underwritten or undervalued when first reported. So why does this happen, and how does the supplement process work? Let’s break it down.
Protecting a Limited-Edition 2025 Ford F-150 Shelby Super Snake with Custom Paint Protection Film
By Matthew Jones March 26, 2025
There are cool trucks, and then there are legendary trucks—and this 2025 Ford F-150 Shelby Super Snake is one of the coolest we’ve had in the shop! This isn’t just any F-150; it’s a beastly, high-performance truck built for speed, style, and exclusivity. Given its limited production and custom modifications, this Shelby Super Snake required a fully custom paint protection film (PPF) installation. Since this isn’t an official Ford production model, pre-cut templates for PPF simply don’t exist—meaning this was an extensive custom job requiring precision and expertise. Here’s what we installed on this 2025 F-150 Shelby Super Snake: ✔ Custom-Cut PPF on the hood, fenders, mirrors, and front bumper. ✔ Five-year ceramic coating on the paint, plastics, wheels, and glass. ✔ Hand-cut precision work to accommodate the unique Shelby modifications. 📍 Located near Killeen, Copperas Cove, and Temple, TX?

When Is Paintless Dent Repair (PDR) Not Suitable for Hail Damage or Door Dings in Killeen, TX?
By Matthew Jones March 26, 2025
At Harker Heights Ceramic Coatings, we specialize in paintless dent repair (PDR) to restore vehicles damaged by hail storms, door dings, and minor dents, all while preserving the original factory paint. However, not all dents can be repaired using PDR. Some vehicles in Killeen, TX, Copperas Cove, and Temple sustain damage that requires conventional body shop work, whether due to the severity of the dent, stretched metal, cracked paint, or material limitations. If your car was hit by hail in Killeen, TX, or received a door ding in a Fort Cavazos parking lot, here’s everything you need to know about when PDR won’t be the best option for your repairs—and why.
