Whats the deal with PPF?
As a car owner, you need to protect your investment, and protective paint films are one possibility you may be missing out on. It’s a clear, protective film that shields your car from scratches and small chips. But is PPF all its laid out to be?
A crystal clear explanation of PPF:
Paint protection film, also known as clear bra, is a transparent film that is applied to the exterior of your car to protect it from scratches, chips, and other damage.
Our PPF installation service ensure a seamless, almost invisible protection. The result is a protective film that will shield your vehicles paint from damage for years to come. PPF is a cost-effective investment that can help preserve your vehicle and keep it looking new for longer.
You might be asking yourself, “what if my PPF gets scratched too?”
Well, one of the most impressive features of PPF is its self-healing properties. If the film is scratched or scuffed, it has the ability to “heal” itself. The sun, the warmth of your car’s engine or even a heat gun can cause the film to “melt” slightly, allowing it to smooth out any minor imperfections and return to its original damage free state.

Advantages of PPF on your vehicle
The main purpose of PPF is to protect a vehicle’s finish. To make it easy, here are our top 5 reasons why having PPF on your vehicle is a huge advantage.
1. Protection against physical damage
One of the main advantages of PPF is that it provides a physical barrier that can protect your car’s paint from:
- Light scratches
- Road debris
- Bug splatters
- Road grime
- Outdoor weathering
- Much much more.
PPF is designed to be tough enough to withstand all types of hazards that could cause damage to your car’s paint. If you’re driving on bumpy, gravely, or unmaintained roads, this additional protection to your cars paint will be a welcome peace of mind.

2. Protection against environmental damage
PPF can also protect your car’s paint from environmental damage such as UV rays, acid rain, bird droppings, and tree sap. These elements can cause damage to your car’s paint over time, leading to fading, discolouration, and other issues. PPF provides an additional layer of protection against these elements, helping to keep your car looking new for longer.
3. Maintenance of resale value
If you’re planning to sell your car in the future, PPF can help to maintain its resale value. A car with a well-maintained exterior, free from chips and scratches, will generally sell for a higher price than one that has visible damage. PPF can help to prevent damage to your car’s paint, making it more attractive to potential buyers and potentially increasing its resale value.
4. Cost-effective in the long run
While PPF can be a significant investment upfront, it can be cost-effective in the long run. Repainting a car can be expensive, and if you need to do it frequently due to damage, it can quickly add up. PPF can help to prevent this type of damage, potentially saving you money on repainting in the future.
5. Ease of maintenance
PPF is easy to maintain and doesn’t require any special products or treatments. You can wash your car as you normally would, and the PPF will continue to protect your car’s paint. This can save you time and money on maintenance over the life of your car.
Whether you’re driving a luxurious Lamborghini or a trusty Toyota, your vehicle deserves protection against chips and all sorts of road hazards. After all, it’s not just the high-end vehicles that are susceptible to scratches and other forms of damage.
So no matter what type of car you drive, give it the TLC it deserves with PPF!
