FAQ
How long does it take to apply paint protection film?
The average amount of time it takes to apply PPF to a small car is two hours. The time can vary depending on the size of the car and how much experience the installer has. Some installers may charge more for complicated installations, like those that involve curves or intricate patterns.
Are there any special care instructions for paint protection film?
Applying paint protection film can help your car look new for a long time. However, there are some things you need to do to keep the film in good condition. First, avoid washing your car with harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners, as these can break down the film and cause it to lose its shine. Additionally, be sure to wax the film regularly to keep it looking glossy and protected from the elements. To avoid damaging the surface, don't scrub or rub the film when you're cleaning it. With proper care, your paint protection film will last for a long time.
What happens if the film gets scratched?
A ppf can get scratched if it's not installed correctly. If the ppf is installed too close to the edge of the paint, it can get chipped or scratched when the car is driven. This is why it's important to make sure that you have enough ppf extending beyond the edge of the paint, at least a quarter inch. This will help protect your car's paint and also make it easier to remove the ppf when it needs to be changed.
Can paint protection film be removed?
If you don't install the ppf correctly, it can get scratched. If the ppf is installed too close to the edge of the paint, it can chip or scratch when the car is driven. Even a small scratch can make the finish look bad and cause the ppf to yellow over time. In addition, scratches can also make it difficult to remove the ppf when it's time to change it. A good rule of thumb is to have at least a quarter inch of ppf extending beyond the edge of the paint. This will help protect the paint from being chipped or scratched, and will also make it easier to remove the ppf when it's time to change it.
What kind of vehicles can use PPF?
Car paint protection film can be used on different types of vehicles. It is often used on luxury cars, as it protects the paint from scratches and other damage. It can also be used on more affordable cars, as it still offers some protection against the elements.
