What is it?
What is paint protection film? Paint protection film, also known as PPF is a multi-layer urethane based film that is anywhere from 6-8 mils thick. It is designed to reduce the impact from stones and road debris to mitigate damage to the vehicle’s paint. Suntek films are also capable of self healing light swirls and scratches out with heat. Ceramic coatings and other detailing solutions are not capable of resisting or preventing rock chips and medium-to-heavy scratches. Paint Protection film is the only solution currently available to prevent scratches and rock chips.
PPF consists of 3 layers: an adhesive layer, a TPU/PVC layer and a top coat layer.

Services
Standard Protection
When it comes to paint protection film, you have a lot of options to choose from. To begin with, you have the standard protection film. This film offers the most basic coverage and generally focuses on specific areas that are ultra prone to getting battered or chipped by the elements. This film would cover the lower and front side of the bumper along with the side view mirrors. Luggage protection around the trunk/hatch area as well as around door handles are also great areas to protect due to multiple touches daily. This is rather a minimal level of protection that will guard your car against a large amount of potential damage but you still know that your car paint can get the chip at places which have not been covered.
Front Clip
For the ultimate protection of forward facing surfaces, front clip coverage will offer excellent protection
from highway driving to the occasional track days. This includes everything that you can easily see
when standing and looking at the car head-on. This level will cover the entire hood, front facia, and
front fenders.
Complete Body Protection
Your vehicle is completely shielded! As the name suggests, all painted surfaces are covered. However, the beauty of this service is that it easily protects the paint detail along with offering easy car care. By opting for the complete body kit, you can be sure that there will be chips anywhere and there is complete consistent finish all around the vehicle. While it is a costly option but not more than what it would take to get the car repainted.
These are general examples, each vehicle and owner's goals are difference. Some need a sacrificial layer for the track, others need highways driving peace of mind, and some desire the utmost preservation of their vehicle's original paint. Let's discuss what works best for you.
*all ppf installations are completed at our Bridgeville / Collier location.
