Paint protection film, often called PPF or clear bra, is a clear urethane film applied over painted panels. It sits between your paint and the road, so chips, light scratches, bug acid and tar land on the film rather than the clear coat.
Well-installed film is hard to spot, and it can come off later without harming the paint underneath. How much of the car it covers is your call, and we will help you decide based on how and where you drive.
What it protects against
Rock chips and road debris
The bumper, hood and mirrors take the most hits at highway speed. The film absorbs them.
Light scratches and scuffs
Bags, keys and car washes mark the film, not the paint.
Bug, sap and bird etching
Acidic contamination sits on the film instead of eating into the clear coat.
Resale value
Original paint in good condition is worth more when the car is sold or traded.
Common questions
Will I be able to see the film?
On a clean, well-prepared panel, quality film is very hard to spot. The edges are the tell, and how they are finished is part of the job.
Can PPF be removed?
Yes. Film is designed to come off without damaging factory paint.
Should I get PPF or a ceramic coating?
They do different jobs. Film stops physical damage like chips; a coating adds gloss and makes paint easier to clean. Many owners do both, and we can talk through what fits your car.
