Paint protection film (PPF) is a transparent, protective layer. Originally developed for military use for added protection against shrapnel damage to helicopters, paint protection film is a durable urethane layer of film that is applied to the paint surface. Now adapted for commercial use, it protects against scratches, rock chips, bug splatters, and most minor abrasions. It can be applied to the entire vehicle but it is more often applied to the high impact areas.

How it works
Paint Correction
To ensure a proper fit that won’t bubble or peel, the vehicle’s paint surface must be completely clean and free of contaminants before the paint protection film can be applied. Unless you are applying the PPF to a brand new car,
paint correction is needed to make sure the paint surface is free of any imperfections.
Cut & Fit
There are a couple different methods to applying PPF - using pre cut or hand cut film. Once the film is cut, next comes fitting it for each section and shape where it will be installed. Then it is sprayed with a fitting solution which activates the adhesive.
Application
This next step takes a technician years to master. Using a combination of spraying, gliding, and squeegeeing out bubbles, the PPF installer guides the film into its perfect fit. Finally, the film is dried using a heat process, giving the material its tightest fit. The PPF is now bonded to the paint and will last many years.
Long-lasting Protection
There are several factors that affect how long the paint protection film will last. The condition of the paint surface before the PPF was applied is important and will dramatically impact the longevity of the PPF. A pristine surface will allow the PPF to bond better. Quality PPF brand and materials and an experienced installer are also key factors in how long your PPF will last. And of course, environmental factors play a part too. At Dr Auto Spa, our specialists work hard to make sure your PPF is installed carefully and professionally after proper assessment and completion of paint correction, so you can expect many years of an enhanced shine, ease of maintenance, and a blemish-free paint surface.
