Paint Protection Film
What is Paint Protection Film (PPF)
Paint protection film brings paint protection to a whole new level. An optically clear, gloss enhancing, polyurethane film that protects against stone chips, light scuffs and scratches, bird lime and insect burns, the list goes on.
In addition to that, it’s also self healing which means and light scratches that appear over time due to washing/abrasion can be healed with the use of hot water or hot air, effectively making it look brand new again.
There are different coverage options available depending on your specific needs so please to have a look through the list and if there’s anything you’d like to know that’s not already been answered then drop us a call or email. We’re happy to help.

What is Paint Protection Film (PPF)?
Paint Protection Film, commonly known as PPF, is a transparent protective film applied to painted areas of your vehicle. It creates a physical barrier between the paintwork and everyday damage such as stone chips, light scratches, road debris, insects and environmental contamination.
Is PPF worth having on a new car?
For many owners, a new car is the ideal time to install PPF because the paintwork can be protected before it accumulates stone chips and other damage. We inspect and prepare the paintwork before installation so the film is applied to the best possible surface.
Which parts of my car should I protect with PPF?
This depends on how the vehicle is used and the level of protection you want. High-impact areas typically include the front bumper, bonnet, front wings and mirrors. We can also protect larger areas or the entire vehicle for customers wanting more comprehensive protection.
Will PPF change the appearance of my paintwork?
Quality gloss PPF is designed to be extremely discreet once professionally installed and allows the original paint colour and finish to show through. Different film finishes may also be available for vehicles where a satin or alternative appearance is required.
Can PPF protect my car from stone chips?
Yes. Stone-chip protection is one of the main reasons owners choose PPF. The film absorbs impacts that would otherwise hit the painted surface directly, making it particularly useful on front bumpers, bonnets, wings and other exposed areas.
Does PPF protect against scratches?
PPF can protect against many light scratches, scuffs and everyday marks, although it cannot prevent every type of damage. Modern films can also have self-healing properties that allow minor surface marks in the film to reduce or disappear when exposed to heat.
Can you apply PPF to a used car?
Yes. PPF isn’t only for brand-new vehicles. Before installation, we assess the condition of the paintwork and may recommend cleaning, decontamination or paint correction where necessary. This allows existing defects to be dealt with before they are protected beneath the film.
Can I have ceramic coating as well as PPF?
Yes. PPF and ceramic coatings perform different jobs and can complement each other. PPF provides a physical layer of protection against impacts such as stone chips, while a suitable coating can provide additional benefits such as easier cleaning and protection from environmental contamination.
How long does PPF last?
We offer Paint Protection Films with 7, 10 and 12-year warranties, giving you the flexibility to choose the level of long-term protection that best suits your vehicle and how long you plan to keep it. There isn’t a huge difference in cost between the options, so the 10-year film is a popular choice for customers looking for excellent long-term protection without necessarily stepping up to the maximum 12-year option.
We can talk you through the differences between each film and recommend the most suitable option for your vehicle and requirements.
How much does Paint Protection Film cost?
The price of PPF depends on the vehicle, the complexity of the panels and how much of the car you want to protect. We offer options ranging from protection of the main high-impact areas through to full-vehicle installations.
