Your car suffers from all kinds of environmental factors that can damage a paint job. If you want to keep it looking good, you need to protect it. 

An excellent way to keep your paint job looking good is with paint protection film. Paint protection film is virtually invisible and protects your car's paint from damage. There are also some other helpful benefits that you'll want for your car. 



Here are five ways paint protection film helps your car.

1. Paint Protection Film Reduces the Need for Washing

A fresh paint job makes your car look like a million bucks. It has a luminescent sheen that makes it look like it just rolled off the assembly line. Over time, that brilliance starts to fade.

To get back that sheen back, you'll have to wash and wax your car quite often. Maintaining that standard takes a lot of time and money. 

Paint protection film helps keep dust, dirt, debris, and grime off your car. When the film gets dirty, it's easy to wash it off. Since the film protects the paint underneath, you can maintain the sheen of a new paint job with a lot less time and money. 

2. Protects Against Fading

Rain and snow can cause the color of your car to fade. Ultraviolet light from the sun's rays can also fade color over time. After a while, the paint on your car will look old and faded.

If your car receives uneven sunlight, it will leave your car with never shades across the body. 

The chemical properties in paint protection film help protect your car against ultraviolet light and precipitation. The film provides paint protection that can last for years. 

3. Helps Prevent Basic Damage to the Paint Job

Paint protection film helps keep the car's paint looking pristine. One of the additional ways that it does this is by providing basic protection for your car. The film helps stave off chips, dings, and scratches.

Little knicks and scratches may not seem like much but over time, they can lead to serious issues. Chips and scratches rub away paint and expose the metal underneath. When that happens, the metal can oxidize, which leads to rust. 

Aside from looking terrible, rusted metal doesn't have the same durability as intact metal. 

Over time, these vulnerabilities can get worse. If you ever notice any scratches on your car, it's best to address them immediately. If your car has the protection of a film, you won't need to worry about damage from dings and scratches.

Paint protection film has incredible durability. The shielding it provides can protect your car from some of the most common culprits responsible for car damage. 

Car door dings, pebbles, road debris, and winter salt all struggle to get through the film's shielding. Since a large number of people report their cars being damaged in a parking lot, the extra protection can help add additional peace of mind. 

4. Helps Maintain Your Car's Resale Value

As your car gets older, its value depreciates. Part of this is due to newer models coming out. Another reason is that with daily use, it doesn't run as well as it did when it was new. 

Two things help determine how much your car is worth when you sell it. The first one is quality, which is the overall state of your car. The other factor is mileage, which is the total distance your car has traveled. 

However, mileage doesn't determine the life of a vehicle. It provides a snapshot of how much use a car has gotten. More miles can mean more wear and tear, but a car with less mileage can be in a worse state than one with more.

Maintenance can help extend the life of a vehicle. With a paint protection film, you can protect the look and quality of your car. When you go to sell it, you'll be sure to get more for it than if it'd been without a film.

5. It Saves Money Over Time

Installing a paint protection film on your car is an investment. Over time, it pays for itself. The steps you take to protect your car now can pay dividends in the future. 

The film provides aesthetic and physical protection for your car. Without it, you'll spend more money maintaining your car. The upkeep of cars is expensive, and it's best to take the steps necessary to mitigate as much of that cost as possible. 

There are unavoidable expenses with cars, like changing the oil, replacing lights, replacing the tires, and other internal upkeep. Painting a car can be quite expensive, but with a film, you may never have to worry about paying for a paint job. 

Scratches and dings are unavoidable too, but a film can ensure you never have to spend money to fix them.

Paint Protection Film, clear bra, PPF, etc are all names for an amazing product that changed the automotive industry over 15 years ago.  The last 10-12 years these films have gotten extremely good looking in terms of texture and installation, as well as overall performance and durability.  Most of the films from reputable brands have had great UV protection and self-healing properties for the last decade and in the last few years we saw improvements in stain resistance, easier installation (which leads to less marks during install) and hydrophobic characteristics.  So what are some pros and cons of the film?  Here are a few thoughts I have after working with it for about 8-9 years now…

Disadvantages:

I’ll start with the disadvantages because I feel they’re more of a debatable and subjective issue rather than a “con”, but I’ll list them regardless.   and let me explain.  These couple things are aesthetics and maintenance.

In terms of aesthetics, PPF will never look as clear, deep and texture free as paint.  It’s usually 6-8+ mil thick and it’s practically a piece of plastic, so of course it’s going to have some texture.  That said, some films out there (such as old “regular” Suntek C) are much better looking in terms of texture than others, so the difference with covered and uncovered paint is minimal.

Also, sometimes film can’t wrap around certain crevices on the paint, so the edges of the film will show.  This is most easily seen on silver cars from my experience.  A good installer will make these edges as close to the panel edge as possible (sometimes right on the curve of the edge) so it simply disappears.

Going back to these being debatable cons… This is just the nature of the material so if you want the protection you have to deal with it.  That said, a proper install with good film will make you forget you have film on your car in a matter of days.  I’d compare this to actual glass on a car.  For example, as clear as windshield glass is, you don’t see through it as you would without it, but you need glass to protect from wind and the elements.  In short, it’s not a disadvantage of the film, rather you simply have film on your car to do a specific job and it does it really well.

The other disadvantage is maintenance.  If you get a scratch, staining or similar other defects in the film, they may be in there permanently.  If you get such defects in paint, they can many times be polished and corrected bringing the paint back to how it was before the defects.  This could be seen as a con, but again the film is there as a sacrificial layer to protect from scuffs, rock chips, scratches, etc.

Also, you have to be careful around the above-mentioned edges of the film when doing just about any maintenance.  One of the biggest issues I’ve seen is using a pressure washer near the edge as it may cause it to lift, especially if angled right into the edge.  Some common sense quickly solves this issue.  Other than that edges will obviously collect wax, polish, etc. so you may need to tape them off or not go near with certain products.

I can’t really think of anything else that can be seen as a disadvantage for PPF.  However, there are definitely advantages.

Advantages:

I’d love to say there are MANY advantages, but simply put there’s just one… you have the film and it does what it’s meant to do really well.  The obvious one is how there is no tons of rock chips and that “peppered” look on the front end or rocker panels.  Then there’s the fact it protects against random scratches that may happen daily such as kids walking next to the car with bikes, loading stuff into the trunk and simply opening the door too far and hitting a wall.  It also has other specific uses like using it on sensitive interior trim that may scratch easily, engine bay areas where hoses/wires may rub the paint off and headlight lens to prevent yellowing (along with chips of course).  Even more random uses for film are in different areas around the car where stuff like plastic door sills will rub the paint, window trim will touch the top of the door, roof rack area to help prevent scuffs when stuff is moving around up there.

Lastly, there’s a plethora of uses for PPF outside the automotive industry.  I’ve personally wrapped my own as well as clients’ bicycles, motorcycles and even helmets.  You can do key areas on each of the above or the whole thing and it does an amazing job keeping the surface in great condition.  On bicycles it helps a ton with cables rubbing, rocks popping from below, chain smacking the frame, etc.  On my motorcycle it’s great all around but most noticeably on the gas tank where your legs rub the sides as well as the top when filling up.

Not to mention we’ve done quite a few installs on table tops with expensive materials that need protecting, random carbon fiber pieces and expensive home appliances to protect the paint from scratching due to daily use.

All in all, I’m a huge fan of PPF and would recommend it for anyone on anything haha.  There’s of course a cost involved and that’s usually what guides coverage on a client’s vehicle, but any film is definitely better than none.
