A broken windshield is a common problem in Grande Prairie - but not for Bogs, the owner of Element Ceramic and Films. Since partnering with ExoShield, both his windshield and those of his customers have stayed protected.

For many drivers, the cameras and sensors behind their windshield go unnoticed until a rock chip turns that glass into a thousand-dollar problem. In Grande Prairie, Alberta, where gravel roads and unpredictable highways are part of daily life, that moment can come fast.

‍

But for Bogs, owner of Element Ceramic and Films, it hasn’t come at all.

‍

Bogs has been an ExoShield partner for two years and has had GT3+ installed on his own vehicle since then. “If I believe in a product, I use it myself - and that’s what I offer to my customers. It’s all about trust,” he said.

‍

“I’ve had ExoShield on my own vehicle for over two years,” he shares. “I tested it the way any real Albertan would, I took Highway 40 four times and drove to Vancouver twice. That road eats windshields. But mine? Still flawless.”

‍

Element Ceramic and Films started with ceramic coatings, but Bogs had a bigger vision. Over time, his shop grew into a one-stop destination for vehicle protection with ExoShield windshield protection film at its core.

‍

“We wanted to offer everything under one roof,” he explains. “Every product we carry is something I test myself. I don’t offer anything I don’t believe in. If i like it I sell it, and if my clients like it, I keep selling it.”

‍

That commitment to quality led him to ExoShield.

‍

In Grande Prairie, Alberta, where rock chips are a daily hazard and gravel lines nearly every road, a cracked windshield is often just a matter of time. Just 10 kilometres outside city limits, Highway 40 turns into a stretch of loose rock and unpredictable terrain. In this environment, ExoShield offers the best protection. Its advanced film technology makes windshields up to six times more resistant to impact, a game-changer when you're navigating the rough, rural roads of northern Alberta.

‍

“If you’re driving out here without protection, it’s not if you’ll get a chip, it’s when,” Bogs says. “With ExoShield, I don’t just avoid damage. I save my customers the headache, the downtime, and the cost of expensive windshield replacements.”

‍

And it's not just the product that won him over, it’s the people.

‍

“Working with ExoShield is like being part of a team,” Bogs says. “The support is next-level. Kiel, he’s my go-to. I can text him late at night and I’ll have answers in the morning. That kind of support? It matters.”

‍

Every vehicle that enters Bogs’ shop, whether it’s a $30,000 commuter or a $1 million custom build, receives the same meticulous level of care. His philosophy is clear: protection, perfection, and precision. And ExoShield fits seamlessly into that approach.

‍

“I always try to give customers more information, not to upsell, but to help them understand what their vehicle truly needs. Windshield protection isn’t about pushing a service, it’s about preventing real problems.”

‍

ExoShield windshield film doesn’t just save money, it saves time. And in Grande Prairie, time matters. The roads are rough, the gravel is constant, and the driving conditions are unpredictable.

‍

“Most people don’t know how advanced windshields have become,” he explains. “They’ve got built-in cameras, sensors, and ADAS systems. Replacing them isn’t just pricey, it’s complicated. That’s why windshield protection film is a smart investment.”

‍

What stands out most in Bogs’ story is the relationship he’s built with ExoShield. For him, it’s more than a product line. It’s a partnership built on trust, responsiveness, and shared goals.

‍

“Everyone I’ve dealt with at ExoShield treats me like a partner, not just a customer. That’s why I recommend them to anyone getting into windshield protection or paint protection film. They don’t just give you answers — they provide solutions that work. Partnering with ExoShield has been one of the best decisions for my business.”
