Paint Protection Film (PPF)
The Ultimate Shield for Vehicle Surfaces
Protect your car’s paint job with the most advanced protective film on the market. Drive in any condition with an invisible shield guarding your vehicle’s surface.
What Is Paint Protection Film (PPF)?
Paint protection film (PPF) is a thin urethane material that protects your vehicle’s surface from damage.
But these benefits are just the tip of the iceberg.
Superior Protection
Its adhesive layer bonds tightly to your vehicle’s surface for secure and superior protection. PPF repels water, dirt, and grime to keep the car cleaner for longer. It preserves the factory paint and helps maintain your vehicle’s value over time.
Self Healing
When exposed to heat, its self-healing properties repair minor dings and scratches to the film.
What Damages Your Vehicle’s Paint Job?
When you drive a new car off the lot, it immediately loses value. And every time you hit the road, your vehicle’s surfaces face many dangers. Knowing what causes paint damage and how it affects resale value is key to understanding this question—is paint protection worth it?
Bird Droppings
The acid in bird droppings corrodes your car’s paint.
Rock Salt
Rock salt chips paint and causes rust by exposing the metal surface.
Road Debris
Kicked-up road debris and stone chips scratch your car’s paint.
UV Rays
The sun’s UV rays cause paint to fade and lose its shine.
Mechanical Car Washes
Rough washing methods create swirl marks on your car’s surface.
Acid Rain
Acid rain leaves chemical stains that etch into your vehicle’s paint.
Tree Sap
Hardened tree sap sticks to your car’s surface and stains the paint.
Insects
Bug splatters are acidic and damage your car’s paint.
