PPF information
Paint Protection Film, or PPF (sometimes referred to as Clear Bra), is a thermoplastic urethane film which is most often applied to the forward or leading painted surfaces of a vehicle. Originally, this type of protective film was designed for military use on helicopter rotors to protect them from sand particles, and over the years it has expanded to general aviation, racing, and finally consumer vehicles and even electronic devices such as mobile phones. Paint Protection Film has been in use on privately owned vehicles for several years now, and with good reason.
From a maintenance standpoint, PPF is an excellent investment for any vehicle. The clear coated urethane film helps preserve the paint finish while protecting surfaces vulnerable to stone chips, bug damage, abrasion, and weathering. Not only will your vehicle’s paint be preserved from these types of damages, the film will allow your paint to age naturally, and will not yellow from prolonged sun exposure. Additionally, you can clean and maintain your vehicle the same as before. The nearly invisible film can be washed and waxed just like the rest of the painted surfaces to retain that high gloss shine you expect.
Vehicle`s good look
PPF is a high–gloss product which enhances the paint on the car by giving it shiny and polished looks.
Proper maintenance of car
PPF helps to maintain your car’s appearance. It protects the vehicle from the damage caused by various agents such as bugs, climatic change and various chemicals.
Protecting your car`s surface
Clear bra paint protects the surface, which is vulnerable to the bug’s damage, withering from climatic change and abrasion.
Its invisibility
The film used in PPF is invisible. It enhances the exterior look of the car. Cleaning and washing of vehicle can be done same as before.
No-side effects
There are no side effects of clear bra paint on your vehicle. Over time, if you want to remove, it is easy to remove from the car without any damage done to the vehicle.
Preserving paint
Harmful rays of the sun whither the paint. PPF allows paint to age naturally by helping to prevent discoloration before the time.
Being cost effective
PPF is the protective film that helps to protect the surface of the vehicle and saves the cost used for repairing the damage.
So, the bottom line is, use of PPF ensures to lessen the damage on the exterior of the car and is a positive start towards protection of your car.
These protective films are typically applied to the impact zones on vehicles parts, or otherwise vulnerable areas such as hoods, fenders, side mirrors, bumpers, grills, rocker panels, headlights covers, floodlights, car door protection, luggage areas, rear bumper decks, roof and A-pillars. Mostvendors guarantee their product not to haze, yellow or peel and offer a warranty of anywhere from two to five years when properly installed. The film contains ultra-violet stabilizers to prevent discoloration or degradation of the product itself while still allowing the sun’s rays to pass through to the paint so if you do decide to remove the film your vehicle will not be two-toned, or “sunburned”. Unlike leather car bras or plastic shields, these clear protective films are practically invisible and do not substantially effect the overall appearance of your vehicle.
