Paint Protection Film: What is it and Why Do You Need it?

Driving on highways and neighbourhood roads exposes your vehicle to nature’s unforgiving elements and road debris. Our next-generation PPF technology creates an invisible barrier against those daily environmental elements. It can be applied to the most exposed areas, like a bumper, hood, mirror, or to the whole vehicle's painted surface. It gives you greater peace of mind that your vehicle paint won’t be exposed to the inevitable chip while retaining its colour, and finish. Our PPF keeps the pristine look of the vehicle.

What is Paint Protection Film?

Paint protection Film is a thin, transparent urethane film applied to a vehicle's painted surfaces. The film is designed to protect the paint from scratches, chips, environmental pollution and other damage that can occur during everyday use. PPF can be applied to any part of the car's exterior, including the hood, fenders, doors, mirrors, and bumpers.

PPF is made from a durable, self-healing material that can withstand the elements and the wear and tear of everyday use. It is resistant to yellowing, cracking, and peeling and can be easily removed without damaging the paint.

Why Do You Need Paint Protection Film?

There are several reasons why you should consider applying paint protection film to your vehicle:

Protection from Scratches and Chips:

One of the most common types of damage to a car's paint is scratches and chips from debris on the road, such as rocks and gravel. PPF acts as a barrier between the paint and the outside world, helping to prevent paint damage and preserve your car's appearance.

Long-Term Cost Savings:

While the upfront cost of applying PPF may seem high, it can save you money in the long run. Protecting your car's paint can avoid costly repairs and repainting necessary when scratches and chips accumulate over time.

Preserving Resale Value:

A car with a well-maintained exterior is more valuable than one with visible damage. By applying PPF, you can help preserve the resale value of your car by keeping the paint looking like new.

Ease of Maintenance:

PPF is easy to clean and maintain. It can be washed with soap and water like the rest of the car and requires no special treatment. You can use our Avery Dennison care cleaner to maintain the film in good conditions.

Properties Of Our Avery Dennison Paint Protection Film:

Ease of application:

PPF is designed to be relatively easy to apply, given its movability. However, it should be applied by an expert or professional fitter.

Appearance:

PPF is designed to be transparent and virtually invisible when applied to a car's paint. Higher-quality PPF should have excellent clarity with minimal distortion or haziness. With both gloss and matte finishes, and gloss black options, this film can safeguard your ride from scratches and wear, ensuring your vehicle stays as sleek and stunning as the day you bought it.

Scratch Resistance:

Many PPF products are self-healing, meaning minor scratches and abrasions will disappear over time as the film's surface reflows and fills in the damaged area.

Hydrophobicity:

Some PPF products have hydrophobic properties, which repel water and help to reduce water spots and staining.

Durability:

PPF is designed to be highly durable and resistant to damage from rocks, gravel, and other road debris. It should also resist fading, cracking, and peeling over time.

Self-healing:

Our Top coated paint protection films provide heat- assisted healing recovery of minor and medium scratches. This ensures that the film looks good for a longer time, keeping the pristine look of the vehicle.

How is Paint Protection Film Applied?

Only certified and trusted expert fitters should apply our Paint Protection Film.

The process typically involves the following steps:

Cleaning and Preparing the Surface

The car's surface must be thoroughly cleaned and prepared before the film can be applied. This involves removing any dirt, debris, or wax that may interfere with the adhesion of the film.

Measuring and Cutting the Film

The film is measured and cut to fit the specific contours of the car's exterior. This requires precision and expertise to ensure a perfect fit.

Applying the Film

The film is carefully applied to the car's surface, with particular attention paid to ensuring an uniform and smooth finish.

Finishing Touches

Once the film is applied, any edges or seams are trimmed and smoothed out for a seamless appearance.

Paint Protection Film is a wise investment if you want to protect your car's paint from scratches, chips, and other types of damage. With its long-term cost savings, ease of maintenance, and preservation of resale value, PPF is a valuable addition to any car owner's arsenal. Just be sure to have it professionally installed for the best results.
