It's All About Impact Absorption

How Exactly Does PPF Work? 

Think of paint protection film as a high tech shock absorber for your paint. It’s made from a tough, flexible material called thermoplastic urethane. When a rock or other piece of road debris strikes the film, the impact energy is spread out across the surface of the film instead of being focused on one tiny point. This dispersion of energy is what stops the object from chipping your paint. The film takes the hit so your clear coat doesn't have to. It's a simple concept, but the technology behind it is pretty advanced. It allows the film to be strong enough to stop damage, yet clear enough that you won't even know it's there.

Scratches Literally Disappear

The Magic of Self-Healing

GET A FREE ESTIMATE

This is where things get really cool. High quality PPF, like the STEK film we use, has self healing properties. The top layer of the film is a special elastomeric polymer that can "remember" its original shape. When a light scratch or swirl mark appears on the film from a car wash or a stray branch, the film can fix itself.  All it needs is a little heat. The warmth from the sun on a summer day or even the heat from your engine is enough to cause the material to return to its smooth, original state. The scratches simply vanish. We know it sounds like something from a sci fi movie, but we’ve seen it happen countless times.

Strategic Coverage for High Impact Zones

Where Should You Apply PPF?

While you can wrap your entire vehicle in PPF, most people focus on the areas that are most likely to get damaged. This provides excellent value by shielding the most vulnerable parts of your car.

 

Common coverage packages include:

  • Partial Front End: This typically covers the front part of the hood and fenders. It’s a good entry level option for basic coverage.
  • Full Front End: This is our most popular package. It includes the entire hood, full fenders, front bumper, and side mirrors. This protects the entire forward facing portion of your car, which takes the most abuse.
  • Track Package: This adds coverage for the rocker panels (the area below your doors) and behind the rear wheels. It’s perfect for sports cars or anyone who wants extra defense against debris kicked up by the tires.
  • Full Vehicle: For the ultimate peace of mind, we can wrap every painted panel of your car. This ensures comprehensive coverage against scratches and environmental contaminants all over.

 

We can also customize a package to fit your exact needs. If you just want your bumper and headlights done, we can do that. Our job is to help you get the right amount of coverage for your car and driving habits.

Your PPF Questions, Answered

Frequently Asked Questions About Paint Protection Film 

  • What is the difference between PPF and a ceramic coating?

    PPF is a physical film that provides impact resistance against rock chips and scratches. A ceramic coating is a liquid that creates a hard, glossy layer for chemical resistance and easy cleaning. They serve different purposes, but many people apply a ceramic coating on top of PPF for the ultimate combination of benefits.

  • How long does PPF last?

    Professional grade PPF, like the STEK film we install, comes with a manufacturer's warranty of 10 to 12 years. It is designed to last for a very long time without yellowing, cracking, or peeling.

  • Can you see the film once it's installed?

    When installed correctly, modern PPF is virtually invisible. We wrap the film around panel edges where possible to hide any seams, creating a look that is almost undetectable. Our goal is for you to forget it’s even there.

  • Do I need paint correction before installing PPF?

    Yes, we highly recommend it. PPF will preserve the condition of the paint underneath it. If you install it over existing swirl marks and scratches, those will be locked in. A paint correction service creates a flawless surface, so what you're protecting is a perfect finish.

  • How do I care for a car with PPF?

    You can wash and maintain your car as you normally would, with a few small exceptions. We recommend waiting about a week before your first wash. Avoid using high pressure washers too close to the edges of the film. Otherwise, regular hand washing is perfectly safe and encouraged.

  • Can PPF be removed?

    Yes. If the film ever needs to be replaced, a professional can remove it safely without causing any damage to your car's original paint.
