GOT A QUESTION ABOUT PAINT PROTECTION FILM (PPF)?

Below we have tried to answer the most frequently asked questions related to paint protection film (PPF). If there’s something we haven’t covered or you would like more information on these subjects please contact us and we will be happy to help.

What is Paint Protection Film (PPF).
Paint protection film is made from a virtually invisible urethane. It can be applied to any painted area requiring protection from stone chips, light scratches and other road debris. Some films feature self healing properties, and superior stain resistance.
Can Paint Protection Film really self heal?
Absolutely! Although only to a certain extent of course. Designed to self heal light scratches and light stone chips. The top coat is the self-healing layer and is approximately 13 microns thick. If that layer is penetrated, the film will not heal.
How is Paint Protection Film applied?

Before the paint protection film is applied to the surface, we design and pre-cut specific panels using our precision cut Graphtec FC8600-160 plotter. This ensures that there is no need for cutting on the vehicle whatsoever and leaves a flawless & virtually invisible finish. Our pre-cut designs are then applied using our specially formulated solution and squeegee method. We do not use heat to stretch or tack the film unlike vinyl or other paint protection films

Can it be removed?
Yes, thanks to our specific preparation method our paint protection films can be safely removed if needed without leaving any glue residue or damage to the surface, (providing the paint is factory original and / or has been re finished with a factory approved bodyshop).
Is there any warranty included?
Yes, the manufacturers we use offer 5, 7, and 10 year warranties against cracking, peeling, yellowing, hazing and bubbling.
Will my paint fade over time due to UV rays with PPF installed?

Can Paint Protection Film really self heal? How is Paint Protection Film applied? Can it be removed? Is there any warranty included? Will my paint fade over time due to UV rays with PPF installed? Yes, our paint protection films are designed to allow the suns UV rays to pass through the film so paintwork will fade at the same rate as unprotected paintwork in a uniform fashion.
How long should I wait to apply PPF if my car has been repainted?
Please check with your body shop who are carrying out the refinish and see what they recommend. The time will vary depending on the paint system the body shop has used. In any case, the time that they recommend you should wait to wax the paint, is the same time you will need to wait to install paint protection film.
My vehicle has already been ceramic coated, can you still apply Paint Protection Film on top?
Yes, although we will need to prepare the vehicle in a specific way to ensure adhesion isn’t compromised.
Can It be applied to headlights and fog lights?
Yes, paint protection film can be applied to headlights and fog lights, and is a great way to protect those most vulnerable areas from getting stone chips.
Can Paint Protection Film be applied over vinyl stripes, sticker badges, or vinyl decals?
Yes, however depending on how thick the vinyl / sticker is, you may get a slight air channel running around the edge.
Can PPF be applied to interior surfaces in my vehicle?
Yes, any surface can be protected providing that surface is completely smooth.
How do I wash my car after Paint Protection Film has been applied?
A very similar process as you would before the film was applied. We would recommend waiting around 7 days before washing after film has be applied. If using a power washer avoid getting too close to any edges, a distance of around 2-3 feet is suitable and will prevent lifting. Try to wax the film once a month or after every wash using a liquid spray on wax, this will help prevent bug splatter and tree sap from sticking to the surface. Use only PH neutral products and avoid harsh chemical that contain Petroleum, Kerosene, and Naphtha.
