Amro
Amro is the lead PPF installer at Calgary PPF Pros and the shop’s disassembly specialist. He removes bumpers, mirrors, and badging before every premium install so every edge of the film wraps under panel gaps for invisible protection — a process most Calgary shops skip. Eight years into his career, he has personally installed PPF on more than 900 Calgary vehicles, with a specialty in BMW M-series, Audi RS, and Tesla full-body wraps.
