Paint Protection Film FAQs
Paint protection film, or PPF, is a transparent, durable film applied to a vehicle’s painted surfaces as partial coverage or a full wrap to help protect against rock chips, scratches, road debris, and environmental damage. Premium PPF options may include self-healing technology, hydrophobic properties, or color finishes.
Paint protection film helps protect vehicle paint from rock chips, light scratches, swirl marks, bug splatter, bird droppings, road salt, and UV exposure that can cause fading.
High-quality PPF typically lasts between 7 and 12 years when professionally installed and properly maintained, depending on driving conditions and climate.
Many drivers choose PPF to preserve their vehicle’s appearance, reduce the need for expensive paint repair costs, and help maintain resale value.
PPF pricing varies based on vehicle size, coverage area, and installer expertise. Partial coverage options are available for high-impact areas.
