PPF: What can you (not) expect?
Want to enjoy every mile of your car without worrying about the paint? Then Paint Protection Film (PPF) is the only real solution. While a coating protects against dirt and chemicals, PPF goes a step further: it absorbs the impacts that would otherwise irreparably damage your paint.
What can you expect?
At WAX-IT, we use only GYEON PPF, a thick, transparent polyurethane layer that we apply with precision to the bodywork. Here's what it does for your car:
- Protection against mechanical damage: It is the ultimate barrier against stone chips, scratches, splashing gravel and even minor vandalism.
- Self-healing properties: This may seem like magic, but it's pure science. The film's topcoat repairs itself with heat. Small scratches or abrasions simply disappear when the car is left in the sun or when you pour warm water over it.
- Invisible finish: We apply the film virtually invisibly. By removing logos and folding the edges, you won't even see the film on the car; you'll only see a perfect finish.
- Chemical Resistance: Like a coating, PPF protects against bird droppings, acid rain, and oxidation, keeping the original factory paint looking like new.
The Reality: What PPF Is Not?
While PPF is the most powerful protection on the market, it is important to know where its limits are:
- Not indestructible: In a heavy collision or deep vandalism scratches, the film can tear. The good news? The film has absorbed the impact and can be replaced, while your original paint underneath is often undamaged.
- Maintenance remains necessary: Although the film is self-healing, you still need to wash your car properly. The film protects your paint, but we also want to keep the film itself looking good for as long as possible.
- Inspection: Because the film is "living" and needs to settle, we always invite you for a free inspection a few weeks after installation. This guarantees WAX-IT quality for the long term.
In short:
PPF is the best investment for anyone who wants to use their car for what it was designed for: driving. It gives you the freedom to enjoy every mile, knowing your paint is protected to the highest standards. Moreover, this investment immediately translates into a higher residual value if you ever sell it.
