FAQ and Benefits of Paint Protection Film (PPF)

WHAT IS PAINT PROTECTION FILM AND HOW DOES IT PROTECT MY VEHICLE?

Paint protection film (PPF), also known as a clear bra, is a transparent urethane film that is applied to the painted surfaces of a vehicle to protect it from damage. It acts as a nearly invisible barrier against rock chips, road debris, bug splatter, bird droppings, and other environmental contaminants that can cause permanent damage to your paint.

PPF forms a tough, resilient shield over your vehicle’s painted surfaces. It absorbs impacts from road debris and prevents scratches, chips, and staining. The top layer of our PPF is also self-healing, meaning minor scratches and swirl marks will disappear with heat from the sun.

Our paint protection film not only defends against physical damage but also protects against UV rays and oxidation, helping your paint retain its depth and gloss. It’s a smart long-term investment for anyone serious about preserving their vehicle’s value and appearance.

CAN YOU CERAMIC COAT PAINT PROTECTION FILM?

Yes! In fact, we recommend adding a ceramic coating on top of your PPF to enhance its performance by making it even easier to clean and maintain. Ceramic coatings add a slick, hydrophobic layer that repels water, dirt, and contaminants.

We offer ceramic coatings as an optional add-on service for clients who want the best of both worlds: the impact protection of PPF and the easy maintenance and shine of a ceramic coating. It’s a popular combo among our clients. Check out our ceramic coating services!

HOW LONG DOES PPF LAST?

The longevity of PPF depends on driving conditions, and how well it’s maintained. Our high-quality film is designed to last 8 to 12 years and carries a warranty covering yellowing, peeling, and bubbling.

With proper care, PPF can continue to protect your paint well beyond the warranty period. We only use industry-leading films that are known for their clarity, durability, and self-healing properties to ensure your vehicle looks great for years to come.

CAN PPF BE REMOVED WITHOUT DAMAGE?

Yes, PPF is designed to be safely removable without damaging the original paint underneath—assuming it was applied to a factory finish or properly repainted surface. When removed by a professional, the adhesive leaves little to no residue and does not affect the paint’s integrity.

We strongly advise against trying to remove PPF yourself, as incorrect removal can cause damage. If you ever want to upgrade, replace, or remove your film, we offer professional removal services to ensure your vehicle’s finish stays protected.
