What Is PPF?
PPF (Paint Protection Film) is a transparent, self-healing protective film applied directly to the vehicle's paint. Unlike standard colour-change wrap, PPF is **significantly thicker and more resistant** — designed specifically for mechanical paint protection.
Quality PPF protects against:
• Stone chips
• Light scratches (many films self-heal with heat)
• Insect residue
• Road debris and grit
• Environmental contamination such as bird droppings or tree sap
Which Areas Can Be Protected with PPF?
**Partial Protection – Individual High-Risk Areas**
• Loading edge
• Door sills
• Door handle recesses
• Wing mirrors
• A-pillars
**Full Front Protection**
• Front bumper, bonnet, front wings, mirrors, headlights
**Complete Protection**
PPF applied to virtually all painted exterior surfaces — maximum protection for the entire vehicle.
Which PPF Solution Is Right for You?
• **Daily driver with motorway commute** — Full front recommended
• **New vehicle** — Full or complete protection to preserve condition from day one
• **Sports/premium car** — Complete protection for maximum preservation
• **Leased vehicle** — Partial protection on high-wear areas can avoid costly return charges
• **Enthusiast/collector vehicle** — Complete protection as an investment
What Factors Determine PPF Price?
PPF pricing is calculated individually. Key factors include:
• Vehicle size
• Number of protected panels
• Body complexity
• Film selected
• Paint condition
• Disassembly requirements
• Installation time

PPF on a New Vehicle – Best Timing?
The ideal time is as early as possible — ideally right after collection. While the paint is in perfect condition, no paint correction is needed before installation, saving time and reducing overall cost.
Which Areas of Your Vehicle Should Be Protected?
The right PPF solution depends on your vehicle, usage, and expectations. We provide personal advice and an individual quote.
