What is Paint Protection Film (PPF) and what are the benefits?

Paint Protection Film (PPF), also known as clear bra, is a transparent, urethane-based film that is applied to the exterior painted surfaces of a vehicle. It serves as a protective layer, guarding the paintwork against various forms of damage that can occur during everyday use. PPF is often used on vulnerable areas such as the front hood, fenders, bumpers, side mirrors, and door edges to prevent rock chips, scratches, bug splatter, bird droppings, and other environmental contaminants from damaging the paint.

Benefits of Paint Protection Film:

  • Scratch and Chip Resistance: PPF acts as a barrier, absorbing the impact of road debris, stones, and other objects, preventing scratches, chips, and dings on the car’s paint.
  • Preserves Resale Value: By protecting the original paint from damage, PPF helps maintain the vehicle’s resale value. A well-preserved exterior finish is attractive to potential buyers.
  • Invisible Protection: PPF is virtually invisible when properly applied, preserving the aesthetic appeal of the vehicle while providing reliable protection. It doesn’t alter the colour or appearance of the paint.
  • Easy Maintenance: PPF is easy to clean and maintain. It repels dirt, water, and other contaminants, making it simpler to keep the vehicle looking clean and polished.
  • UV Protection: PPF provides a layer of protection against harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun, preventing paint fading and oxidation over time.
  • Self-Healing Properties: Some high-quality PPF products have self-healing properties, meaning minor scratches and swirl marks disappear when exposed to heat, such as sunlight or warm water.
  • Custom Fit: PPF can be precisely cut and tailored to fit specific parts of the vehicle, ensuring complete coverage and protection for vulnerable areas.
  • Professional Installation: When installed by professionals, PPF fits seamlessly onto the vehicle’s surface without bubbles or creases, providing a smooth and clear protective layer.
  • Long-lasting: PPF is durable and designed to withstand the rigours of daily driving. Most high-quality films come with warranties that ensure long-lasting protection.

In summary, Paint Protection Film offers an effective way to safeguard a vehicle’s paintwork from various forms of damage, maintaining its appearance and value over time. For more information or to book an appointment, call 01625 322312 or pop into one of our centres in Wilmslow or Middlewich.

No, MuffWash uses transparent XPEL film, preserving your car’s original colour and shine, enhancing rather than altering its appearance.

Can PPF be applied over ceramic coatings?

Our recommendation is for Ceramic Coating to be applied on top of PPF, to allow it to chemically bond to the surface. If Ceramic Coating is already installed and you’d like PPF, then the Ceramic Coating will have to be polished off before PPF can properly adhere to your car’s paint. Applying PPF on top of Ceramic Coating will not work.
