PPF stands for Paint Protection Film, a transparent (or tinted) polyurethane film applied to a vehicle’s painted surfaces to protect them from damage. It’s widely used in the automotive industry to preserve a car’s finish and maintain its value.
Key Features of PPF:
- Scratch & Chip Protection: Shields against rock chips, scratches, bug splatter, and road debris.
- Self-Healing: Minor scratches and swirl marks disappear with heat from sunlight or a heat gun.
- UV Resistance: Prevents paint from fading due to sun exposure.
- Hydrophobic Surface: Repels water, dirt, and contaminants, making the car easier to clean.
- Durable & Long-Lasting: High-quality PPF can last 5 to 10 years with proper maintenance.
Types of PPF Finishes:
- Gloss – Enhances shine and depth of paint.
- Matte/Satin – Offers a smooth, non-glossy appearance.
- Color or Black-Out PPF – Adds both protection and a custom look.
