How to Protect Your Vehicle’s Paint ?

And when it comes to keeping your vehicle looking as great as new, your paint job is probably the most obvious thing about your car. It can also complement your car in the long run and show your care for detail. But your car paint gets exposed to a lot of factors that could damage it over time, from road gravel to scratches, bird excrement to UV rays. And that’s when Paint Protection Film (PPF) comes in.

At Keen Eyes Auto Detailing, we offer the best paint protection film services in order to protect your car’s paint and keep it looking and valuable for years to come.

In this guide, you’ll learn everything there is to know about Paint Protection Film, what it does, and how it can protect your car.

What is Paint Protection Film (PPF)?

Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a clear, strong polyurethane film placed on the exterior of your car to keep paint from scratching, cracking, fading and other harms. It is a completely undetectable surface providing protection against many environmental dangers without making the car look any different. PPF self-heals which means minor scratches and swirls will go away as the PPF heats up.

PPF is typically used on the most vulnerable parts of your vehicle – hood, bumper, side mirrors, door jambs, etc. It offers the kind of protection that waxes or sealants simply cannot.

Advantages of Paint Protection Film.

Protection From Physical Damage PPF will withstand rock chips, scratches, and other rough surface marks from road grime, gravel and even small accidents. If you’ve ever driven by a truck with rocks or other trash, you know how quickly paint on your car can be scraped off. PPF is like a wall that absorbs the pressure and doesn’t hurt the paint underneath.

UV Protective UV rays from the sun oxidize the paint of your car in the long run. PPF is a coating that prevents UV rays from ruining your paint, so your car stays looking newer longer.
Self-Healing Technology One of the most amazing properties of contemporary PPF is that it self-heals. Scratches or swirls made by washing or small scratches removed by heat treatment. So your car will still appear pristine without the need for expensive retouching.
Higher Resale Value A car that is in good condition usually sells for more. Applying PPF also lets you keep the original paint intact, so when it comes time to sell or trade your car, your vehicle looks like new.
Easy Cleaning and Care PPF is very easy to clean and care. You can wash your car without straining, because dirt and grime won’t stick to the surface. The film also stops the spots from getting wet so you can dry your car with out leaving stains.
More Gloss and shine Not only does PPF shield your vehicle, it also looks better. The film makes your car shine and smooth which really brightens the color of the paint making it even more shiny.

Types of Paint Protection Film

We are here at Keen Eyes Auto Detailing and have Paint Protection Films in various sizes and shapes depending on the situation. Here are the most popular ones:

Simple PPF: The standard paint protection film gives you simple scratch and chip protection. It is the perfect choice for those in need of a budget option for general protection.

Ceramic-Cemented PPF: Ceramic technology is used in this new generation of PPF which gives it added hydrophobic properties.

Prepared: We start by clean the surface of the vehicle thoroughly for dirt, sand, and other contaminants. This makes the PPF stick properly to the paint.

Film Spraying: After the surface has been prepped, we apply PPF to the pre-selected locations of your vehicle. We are using the best material and the most sophisticated techniques to make sure there is no bubble.

Smoothing and Curing: After the film is laid down, we deflate the air bubbles and seal the edges. The film is left to set and will meld perfectly with your vehicle’s paint.

End-of-Life Inspection: We inspect it at last to ensure that everything is ok. If there are any tweaks that we implement, we do them so that the PPF is applied seamlessly.

How Long Does Paint Protection Film Last?

PPF is supposed to last for years. It will be up to you and what the quality of the film is, the weather in your area, and how well the film is preserved. A good quality PPF should last an average of 5–10 years.

The PPF that we use at Keen Eyes Auto Detailing is top of the line, designed to be long lasting and keep its appearance over the years. The film will live longer with regular maintenance and care.

Maintenance Instructions for Paint Protection Film.

In order to get the most out of your Paint Protection Film, take care of it. Here are some maintenance tips:

Daily Cleaning: Clean your car regularly with a soft soap and soft microfiber cloth so as not to scratch the film. Don’t apply abrasive chemicals which can harm the PPF.

Don’t Use Auto Wash: Autowash, and the bristles are harsh and could scratch the film. Wash your car with a soapy sponge or send it to a detailer.

Check for Damage: While PPF is durable, make sure to inspect it occasionally for any damages like pulled edges or rips. For any problem you may see call in a pro for maintenance.
