Paint Protection Film FAQs

Whether you've just bought a brand new car or recently resprayed the old one, protecting the pigment is crucial. Car paint protection film helps protect your car from minor scratches, rock chips, road debris, and bird droppings.

Although you may want to apply it, and you have a few questions. We've answered possible questions you may be asking about paint protection film.

Frequently Asked Questions

The paint protection film is a thick, transparent layer made from polyurethane and installed directly on the body of a car. It is also referred to as a "clear bra". However, they are flexible and elastic polymer materials fixed to a car body panel that protect it from debris.

When polyurethane finishes are used as surface coatings, they provide a protective covering for such objects. Due to its glossy nature, it gives the object a better and more shiny look, as well as a longer life span. 

Not only does it give a long life span, but it also saves car owners the extra dollars they would spend on regular car respraying. As a result of all the benefits it gives a car, it has become so popular among all types of car detailing options. 

How are paint protection films used?

When you've gotten an expert to apply the film on your car's exterior, don't hesitate to apply it. This is because it shields your car against minor scratches, rock chips, and road debris.



Likewise, these tiny films are used as protection against your vehicle's paint, which makes your car stain resistance. 

My car has stains and scratches. Can I still install PPF?

Whether your car already has a dent or is free of scratches, it needs paint protection film to keep the painted surface shiny. This is because PPF wipes the stains and minor scratches off your car.

Alongside paint protection films, we offer other car paint detailing and correction services like a matte finish, exterior detailing, paint correction, ceramic coatings, and window tint.

Can I reinstall the paint film protection?

Oftentimes, people prefer to change their car paint protection film between the range of 5 and 7 years. But a well-installed PPF can last as long as 10 years, although there are some exceptions to this.

Engaging the services of an installation company whose installer isn't an expert will affect the excellence of the job. For example, such a person would deliver a substandard job where the film doesn't round-wrap well with the edges showing some folds.

Also, when you apply a lower-quality film, chances are that it is substandard. And maybe you installed a substandard film due to its lower price tag. And in the end, you'll change the film earlier than expected.

Does your paint protection film come with warranty details?

Absolutely, our paint protection film comes with a 7–10 year warranty that covers yellowing, peeling, and cracking. This is because we use trusted brands whose films have self-healing properties that keep your car shining. 

Can I wash my car after installing the paint protection film?

You can wash your car as often as you wish, but not in the first 3 days of installation. Washing even makes them appear better. Consequently, you can clean dirt off your car by wiping it with a clean towel and still have your car shine.

Will paint protection film reduce the look of my car?

The paint of your car will not fade away with paint protection film applied to the car panel. Instead, the film will protect your car against UV radiation that may penetrate the car's paint to reduce it.

Also, it shields your car against dirt, rock, and stone particles that may cause a dent in the car.

Can you paint protection film on headlights?

You can apply a full front, full side, or cover the entire vehicle with PPF. Covering the full front or the entire vehicle gives you a guarantee that your vehicle's fenders, grille, and headlights are safe. 

Will my paint protection film look perfect?

PPF is a difficult, time-consuming, and expensive procedure. Even with its equipment being outrageously expensive, you shouldn't risk getting an imperfect job. Most installers try to fix PPF perfectly without contamination from dust, water, or sanding marks.



An imperfectly fixed PPF could result in bubbles under the film, thereby making the job look imperfect. Also, the condition of your car can determine if the film will lay neatly. If it doesn't, you can rectify it by ensuring air didn't pass through the film while fixing.
