Paint protection film (PPF) is a thermoplastic urethane film applied to painted surfaces of automobiles in order to protect the paint from stone chips, bug splatters, and minor abrasions.
Protects The Surface Of Your Vehicle From Wear And Tear.
Most defects, scratches, and abrasions on the surface of your car generally occur from use. As an example, damage from UV sunlight, dirt, accidental scratching, swirl marks from regular cleaning, airborne contaminants, etching from dead bugs, and bird droppings are all inevitable occurrences that will undoubtedly affect the condition of your car’s paintwork. Paint Protection Film helps safeguard against the wear and tear of using your vehicle by providing an extra layer of protection against these unavoidable harmful elements.
Enhances The Appearance Of Your Vehicle And Makes It Easier To Maintain.
Paint Protection Film adds a polished and sleek look to your vehicle that results in a flawless, high-gloss finish with a hydrophobic surface (repels dirt and water). This means your car is much easier to keep clean and looking pristine on an ongoing basis—because dirt particles won’t be able to adhere to the surface of your vehicle’s original paintwork.
Preserves The Pristine Condition Of Your Car’s Original Paintwork.
Originality holds great value in the market.
The major brands of PPF include software that essentially produces a PPF template for each panel that needs to be wrapped. The PPF roll is fed into a plotter and the resultant panels are ready to be applied to the car.
The benefit of pre-cut is that there are no blades or knives taken to a car, which in turn prevents any accidental cuts to the car’s original paintwork.
In our opinion, the 3 most popular premium brands on the market are:
– Xpel
– Suntek
– Llumar
Different brands have varying popularity across regions due to factors such as distribution capabilities. A seasoned quality installer would typically only use a film that’s equally of good quality. So, our advice to any interested party is to focus on the installation.
The full PPF process takes around 5-6 working days. This includes preparing the car, paint correction, PPF application, curing, and final inspection.
Although any soap is fine to wash your car with, we would recommend hand wash only. Washing your car in an automatic car wash or ‘waterless’ washing could result in your car being cleaned with dirty cloths, therefore causing damage to the PPF and its self-healing layer.
We ask our clients to come back after 1 month for a check-up after PPF application to check curing has properly taken place. After this time, there is no need for a yearly check-up/maintenance, but if you have any concerns with your PPF, we are always happy to check it out.
Yes! In fact, most of our clients opt for this as it really helps give a hydrophobic effect for easier cleaning. We also offer ceramic coating for the interior, glass, and rims.
In short, the answer is: NO.
A high-quality final product is the result of several input variables:
– The quality of the paint preparation stage, which can be further broken down into time spent on paint preparation and the experience of the detailing team.
– The quality and experience of the installation team. Good experienced PPF installers are in scarce supply globally and are the most important variable in the quality equation.
– The quality of the facility. PPF needs to be applied under ideal controlled temperatures in a clinically clean environment, i.e., free of any dust particles that could settle on a prepared paint surface whilst installing PPF.
Even if a car is brand new and straight from a dealership, there will be some small scratches/swirl marks present on the paint. Our PPF application process will improve it and add a protective layer of self-healing film to your new car. This also makes your new car look new for a lot longer, hence keeping the value of your car high and improving its eventual resale price.
This depends totally on your car and a number of factors – we can give you more of an idea of this if you bring your car to us to look at in our studio.
We use a CNC-cutting technology, meaning there is no need to remove any badges or panels on your car.
Yes, we do. Please get in touch for further details.
Our philosophy is to make the PPF installation process as non-intrusive as possible. As such, we do not remove any body panels including items like bumpers, door mirrors, door handles, and headlights.
Our templates are usually customized internally to extend as close to the edge of the panels as possible. This ensures maximum panel coverage and protection while avoiding unsightly PPF seam lines.
Advantages of removing panels to install PPF include greater coverage and fewer visible seam lines. However, the disadvantages are:
– PPF not sticking to the wrapped edges, causing what is known as “lifting” in the industry.
– Most owners are not comfortable with their new car being disassembled.
– Dismantling and reassembling a car with the inherent risks of clips breaking, panel alignment issues, etc.
– The type of PPF needed to hold around the edges of body panels requires a stronger bonding agent, which makes the film difficult to remove.
Most—if not all—PPF manufacturers guarantee their product against ‘yellowing.’ Although infrequent, we have witnessed some discolouring, especially noticeable on white paint. This has occurred in Dubai and is probably a function of the intense year-round heat and the storing/washing conditions the car is subjected to. In all instances, the manufacturer has stood behind their warranty, and we’ve replaced the impacted areas as part of our commitment to the client.
