FAQ

Common Questions.

What is PPF?

Paint Protection Film — a clear, thick, self-healing urethane layer applied over your paint that absorbs stone chips, road debris and light scratches.

PPF or ceramic coating?

PPF is physical armour against chips; ceramic is chemical protection for gloss and easy washing. The best setup often uses both — film on the front, ceramic everywhere.

How much does PPF cost?

It depends on coverage and film. A front-end package is the best value; full-body costs more. Send us your car and we'll quote it.

Does PPF really self-heal?

Quality film does — light scratches and swirls disappear with heat from the sun, warm water or a heat gun.

Is PPF invisible?

Gloss PPF is optically clear. Matte film is also available if you want a satin/stealth look.

How long does PPF last?

Premium films carry multi-year warranties and typically last many years with correct care before you'd consider replacing them.

Do I need full-body coverage?

Usually not — most owners protect the high-impact front end. You can extend coverage anytime.

Can you coat over the film?

Yes — a ceramic coating over PPF adds gloss and makes the film easier to keep clean.
