Chances are you probably haven't heard the term Paint
Protection Film (PPF) thrown around too often. However, you probably have seen
this unique thermoplastic urethane clear film before. Initially designed to
protect military helicopter blades, this protective film has now made its way
into the hands of the everyday consumer.
If you
haven't heard of PPF before chances are you have seen it already because it has
become a popular cell phone protection screen. But, did you know PPF can also
be found on sections of your new car? Original equipment manufacturers have
begun placing PPF in certain vulnerable areas of the car (e.g. leading edges of
a car, hoods, front/rear bumpers).
Paint
Protection Film helps maintain the beauty and integrity of automotive finish.
This urethane film is significantly durable and even helps protect paint from
stone chips, scratches, weathering, acidic bug damage and other abrasions. The
film is nearly completely invisible and does not alter the appearance of the
vehicle. Furthermore, after the Paint Protection Film had taken an extensive
beating, it can easily be removed and replaced with a new film. The benefits of
this film are instantly apparent as the integrity and resilience of the
automotive paint job are intact and in great condition. Additionally, the
benefits can be seen in the long run as maintaining the paint job can increase
trade in value of your car.
Finally, it
is exciting to note that Paint Protection Film is being manufactured and cut
for thousands of car makes, models, and years. Additionally, film is being cut
to mold to more sections of the car thus protecting more than just the leading
edges and vulnerable places. Now you can rest assured knowing that there is another
durable means of protecting your vehicle.
You can
order Paint Protection Film from manufactures online and install the film
yourself or find a certified application shop. The application process is
consumer friendly and there are many videos and instructions provided by
manufacturers. There are also alternative protective films that can be applied
by spray bottles. For more information ask your local dealership about Paint
Protection Film or enter Paint Protection Film into your favorite search engine.
