About Paint Protection Film (PPF)
Paint Protection Film (PPF)-also known as Clear Bra, Car Wraps, Vinyl Wraps, or Clear Shield–provides the ultimate defense against nature’s harsh effects.
- Protects paint from rock chips
- Safeguards against weather
- Preserves appearance without repainting
What Are The Benefits of Paint Protection Film?
Stops rock chips on your paint
Rocks and road debris are perhaps the greatest threat to your vehicle’s appearance. Because Paint Protection Film is high impact resistant, it neutralizes the threat of rock chips.
Self-heals from small scratches
The top layer of a quality film is made up of elastomeric polymers that return to their natural shape after being stretched or disfigured, giving the film a “self-healing” property. That means when light scratches are inflicted in the film, it absorbs the damage and returns to the texture and properties it had before the incident.
Stops chemical stains and etching
The urethane film is resistant to acidic contaminants, which means it blocks stains and etching.
Prevents acid rain and mineral deposits from damaging paint
Acid rain and mineral deposits can slowly eat away at a car’s paint if it is not covered by corrosive-resistant Paint Protection Film.
Blocks harmful UV rays to preserve paint's clarity
UV rays from the sun make your paint oxidize and fade over time. PPF blocks them.
Has an invisible finish, enabling clear and glossy paint (or a matte PPF finish)
Paint Protection Film does all of this while remaining completely transparent. When a film is properly installed, it is invisible to the naked eye. That said, there is also matte PPF which gives your car a stealth satin look.
Helps retain vehicle's resale value
The quality of a car’s paint is a major factor when determining its resale value. Paint Protection Film will help ensure that you get the most out of your car.
Keeps vehicle looking newer for longer
This one is really a summary of all the rest. It is the whole point of Paint Protection Film. By neutralizing environmental threats and protecting your car’s paint, PPF keeps your car in like-new condition with comparatively minimal maintenance.
Paint Protection Film is NOT bullet-proof
Paint protection film is incredibly strong and impact resistant. That being said, it does not have super-powers. It can be damaged by a particularly strong force.
Paint Protection Film is NOT maintenance-free
