What Is Paint Protection Film (PPF)?

Think of it as a thick clear contact, like the kind your mum would have wrapped your school books with.

With manufacturers using less and less paint during the production process, it is getting harder to maintain and care for your vehicle. With less paint thickness, you don’t have the ability to continually cut and polish paintwork like old paint thicknesses would allow.

For that reason we went looking for something that actually stopped stone chips and scratches from penetrating through to the paintwork. PPF is the toughest and highest performing protection we have come across. Unlike other Paint Protection options on the market such as Ceramic and Glass coatings, PPF is a physical film which will act as a sacrificial barrier to your paintwork.

Self Healing

The top layer of the PPF has an impressive and fast self healing capability due to the flexible component in the film, thermoplastic polyurethane. PPF have many chemically enhanced properties including, transparency, elasticity and abrasion resistance. A combination of these hard and soft layers react to rebind and retain their shape causing the PPF to reseal and heal themselves.

So, if a scratch grazes the film, as long as it hasn’t gone through the top layer it will self heal with the assistance of heat. The average depth of tree marks and keying will self heal! To regenerate the film back to new, simply pour a hot kettle over the film and watch the swirls and scratches dissolve.

Ultra Deep Gloss

Easily the biggest visual difference is the clarity and gloss. Thanks to advanced technology PPF has a high grade adhesive, so there is no haze or orange peel that features heavily in other options on the market.

Couple that with the self healing properties and you no longer have to worry about buffing, swirl marks from washing your vehicle or scratches. Just ultimate shine and depth at all times.
