Protection,WithoutCompromise.

Self-healing urethane film that preserves your paint from rock chips, scratches and the road ahead — invisibly.

Invisible Armor.
What Is Paint Protection Film?

Invisible Armor.

Paint protection film is a transparent, self-healing urethane layer applied to your vehicle's most vulnerable panels. It absorbs the impact of rock chips, gravel and road debris — preserving your factory paint invisibly and protecting your vehicle's resale value.

  • Transparent urethane shield
  • Absorbs rock chips & debris
  • Preserves factory paint & value
Protection, Without Compromise.

Questions

PPF FAQ

Yes. Our premium self-adhesive film is fully removable by a trained installer without harming factory paint, making it ideal for leased vehicles.

Our flagship films carry a 10-year warranty against yellowing, cracking and peeling when properly maintained.

No — our gloss PPF is optically clear and actually enhances depth of gloss. Matte PPF can convert gloss paint to a satin finish.

Wash as normal with pH-neutral soap. Avoid wax; our films are self-healing and need only gentle washing to maintain.

The highest-impact zones are the front bumper, hood leading edge, fenders, mirrors and headlights. Our Full Front package covers all of these. For maximum preservation, our Full Body package wraps the entire vehicle.

Our top-coated films resist yellowing and staining for the full 10-year warranty. The clear top coat also resists bird droppings, bug splatter and hard water spots.

Yes — ceramic coating bonds beautifully to PPF and adds extra hydrophobic protection and gloss. Many clients coat both their bare paint and their film for a uniform finish.

Yes. The elastomeric top coat reactivates with heat — fine swirl marks and light scratches disappear with warm water, sunlight or a heat gun. Deeper gouges into the base layer are not self-healing.
