What is Paint Protection Film?

How many times have you purchased a vehicle and noticed a few weeks later there are scratches, paint chips, or bird dropping marks on the paint already?  This happens more on newer cars because the paint is more vulnerable to these issues now than in the past.  Due to EPA regulations, all car manufacturers had to change to a water based paint and clear coat to be more "eco-friendly".  The downside to this is that the paint is not nearly as durable.  The other issue you run into is most manufacturers are using the latest technology and robots to paint the car with the as little paint as needed which also makes the paint extremely thin.  This not only makes it extremely easy to damage, but also makes it so you can't repair or "buff" it as much due to how little is there to work with.

​

This is where Paint Protection Film comes in.  Paint Protection Film is a thick translucent urethane which is applied to the vehicles exterior to seal and protect the vulnerable paint.  It is almost like a clear shield for your paint.  If you daily drive your vehicle or own a valuable vehicle this is now become a necessity.  There are many forms of protection in the market such as waxes, sealants, and ceramic coatings, but none of them will protect against rock chips, bumps, dings, and deeper scratches like Paint Protection Film will.

 

Paint Protection film was originally invented to protect the helicopter rotor blades in Vietnam from flying debris and dust.  Later racing teams in the 80's starting using it to protect their race cars from tar, debris, and stone chips.  Now this technology is used for almost everything to protect the finish and value.
