What is Paint Protection Film (PPF)?
Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a transparent, durable, and self-healing film that acts as a protective layer for your vehicle’s paintwork. It is precisely applied to vulnerable areas, such as the front bumper, hood, mirrors, etc, to shield them from scratches, rock chips, and other minor damages caused by everyday driving.
PPF is designed to be optically clear, meaning it preserves the original appearance of your vehicle without affecting its color or shine. The film is also self-healing, which means that minor surface scratches and swirl marks can vanish with exposure to heat or warm water, keeping your vehicle looking pristine.
The value of Paint Protection Film lies in its ability to maintain the beauty and integrity of your vehicle’s paint. By acting as a sacrificial layer, PPF absorbs the impact of daily wear and tear, safeguarding your car from chips, scratches, and insect stains. This helps to preserve the resale value of your vehicle, as it remains in excellent condition over time.
Furthermore, PPF reduces the need for costly paint repairs and touch-ups, saving you money in the long run. It also simplifies the cleaning and maintenance process, as the film’s hydrophobic properties make it easier to wipe away dirt, grime, and other contaminants.
Investing in Paint Protection Film not only provides peace of mind but also ensures that your vehicle remains protected and retains its showroom-quality appearance. It is a valuable addition to your car’s care regimen, offering long-lasting protection and preserving the value of your investment.
Protect your vehicle with Paint Protection Film and enjoy the benefits of a beautifully maintained, scratch-free, and protected finish for years to come.

Frequently Asked Question
What is Paint Protection Film (PPF)?
PPF is a thermoplastic urethane film applied to the painted surfaces of a new or used car to protect the paint from stone chips, bug splatters, and minor abrasions.
How does PPF protect my vehicle?
PPF acts as a barrier to protect the paint from the elements, road debris, and minor impacts, preserving the vehicle’s appearance and resale value.
Where on my vehicle can PPF be applied?
PPF can be applied to any exterior painted surface, including hoods, bumpers, fenders, side mirrors, door edges, and more. Full-body installations are also possible.
How long does Paint Protection Film last?
The longevity of PPF can vary but typically lasts between 5 to 10 years depending on the quality of the film, the installation, and how the vehicle is maintained. All paint protection film installs at AutoSpa360 are warrantied for 10 years.
Is PPF visible on the car?
AutoSpa360’s PPF is virtually invisible once applied and properly installed. We ensure to wrap all edges so they remain unseen as well as to keep dirt from visibly forming around the corners and edges. It should not alter the appearance of the paint or cause any distortion other than adding gloss and enhancing the look of the vehicle.
Can PPF be removed?
Yes, PPF can be removed professionally without damaging the paint underneath. However, it’s recommended that removal be done by professionals to avoid any potential damage.
How do I care for and maintain PPF?
PPF requires minimal maintenance. Regular washing and drying are recommended. Avoiding abrasive cleaners and opting for PPF-specific cleaning products can help maintain its clarity and effectiveness.
What is the difference between PPF and Ceramic Coating?
PPF is a physical film that provides a protective layer against physical damage, whereas ceramic coating is a chemical layer that provides a protective barrier against environmental damage but not against physical impacts.
Can PPF be repaired if it gets damaged?
Minor scratches and swirls in the PPF can self-heal with heat exposure (from the sun or hot water). Deep punctures or tears may require the film to be replaced in the affected area.
How much does Paint Protection Film cost?
The cost of PPF can vary significantly based on the vehicle, the quality of the film, the coverage area, and the installer’s expertise. While we may not be the cheapest option in town, you are guaranteed to be happy with our install and will always be taken care of, ensuring over the long term you receive much more than the value you paid.
