Question 11

How long does paint protection film last?

Accepted Answer

High-quality paint protection film typically lasts between 5 and 10 years when properly maintained. The lifespan depends on the grade of film used, the conditions the vehicle is exposed to, and how well it is cared for. We use premium PPF products designed for long-term durability and clarity.

Question 12

Will PPF change the appearance of my car?

Accepted Answer

No. Paint protection film is optically clear and virtually invisible once applied. It preserves your car's original colour and gloss without altering its appearance. Some premium films are also available in a matte finish if you prefer a satin look.

Question 13

What areas of the car can PPF be applied to?

Accepted Answer

PPF can be applied to any painted surface on your vehicle. The most common areas are the full front end (bonnet, bumper, wings, and headlights), door edges, door cups, and door sills. We also offer full-body coverage for maximum protection. We'll recommend the best coverage plan based on how you use your vehicle.

Question 14

Does PPF protect against stone chips and scratches?

Accepted Answer

Yes, that is one of the primary benefits of paint protection film. The thick, durable film absorbs the impact of stones, gravel, and road debris that would otherwise chip or scratch your paintwork. It also protects against light scratches, bug splatter, bird droppings, and UV fading.

Question 15

What is self-healing PPF and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Self-healing PPF contains a special top coat that uses heat to repair minor scratches and swirl marks on its own. When the film is exposed to warmth, either from the sun or warm water, the surface layer flows back into place, effectively erasing light surface marks. This keeps the film looking pristine over time.

Question 16

How long does the PPF installation take?

Accepted Answer

The time required depends on the coverage area. A partial front-end installation typically takes one day, while a full-body wrap may take two to three days. We'll give you a clear timeframe when you book so you can plan accordingly.

Question 17

Does my car need to be prepared before PPF is applied?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Before applying paint protection film we carry out a thorough decontamination wash and, where needed, a paint correction to ensure the surface is completely clean and free of defects. PPF locks in the condition of the paint beneath it, so proper preparation is essential for the best result.

Question 18

How do I maintain my car after PPF is installed?

Accepted Answer

PPF is low maintenance. Regular hand washing or a contactless wash is recommended. Avoid abrasive brushes and harsh chemical cleaners. You can apply a spray wax or sealant over the top of PPF to keep it looking its best. We'll provide you with full aftercare advice when we hand your car back.
