It is an abbreviation and stands for paint protection film.

Car paintwork consists of panel, plaster, and paint.

It is composed of a transparent layer.

Paint protection film

You may think you are protecting

In reality, it protects the transparent layer (clear layer).

We are doing construction for this purpose.

Protects the exterior of your car from scratches and dirt

And protects the painted surface from ultraviolet rays.

It's quite helpful in doing this.






Main reasons for construction


1.Exterior protection

PPF minimizes damage that may occur to the vehicle surface.

2. Preserve resale value

Keeping your car in good condition increases its value when you sell it.


3.Maintaining the painted surface

Since it protects the painted surface from ultraviolet rays, discoloration and fading of the transparent layer can be delayed, and the painted surface can be maintained for a long time by protecting it.

4.Easy management

Although it does not completely protect against scratches, there is a film on top of the existing car clear layer, so there is no need for periodic polishing, and the car can be easily washed.



How to manage PPF after construction?


1. After installation, it is recommended not to wash the car for at least one week. Be careful as it takes time for the film to completely adhere.

After PPF construction, if possible, it is recommended not to continuously spray high-pressure water directly onto the end of the film when washing the car.



2. Even though it has a self-healing function, it is recommended not to wash your car haphazardly, including automatic car washes.

Self-healing - This refers to restoring fine scratches to their original state by pouring hot water or exposing them to strong ultraviolet rays.

Since the function is not maintained while the film is attached, it is recommended that you do not intentionally cause damage to the film.



3. After PPF construction, you do not need any special knowledge about car washing, and you can conveniently and easily maintain the exterior of your car with just a basic car wash.

You can use a dedicated coating agent, but you can also use a regular quick detailer to finish the car wash comfortably.
