The Science Behind Paint Protection film

Paint protection films (PPF) have become increasingly popular as car owners strive to keep their vehicles looking new and bright for as long as possible. The following article will explore the science behind PPFs, how they work, and why they are essential for new car owners.

PPF, or a Paint protection film, is a transparent Polyurethane film designed to provide a layer of protection for your car’s paint. The film is cut to fit over the surface of your vehicle and then adhered with adhesive and heat. This process causes the film to conform perfectly to any irregular surfaces on your car, including curves and corners.

The film is engineered to resist impacts from rocks, debris, and other objects that can chip or scratch your car’s paint. PPF is also resistant to UV radiation and chemicals, which means that high-quality PPF should not yellow or degrade over time.

PPF works by absorbing and dispersing the energy of impacts, preventing them from reaching the paint. This is important because a car’s paint is vulnerable to damage from elements such as debris, bugs, and UV rays. PPF provides a layer of protection that can help to prevent damage to your car’s paint, keeping it looking new for longer.

One of the unique features of a high-performing PPF is its ability to self-heal. The film’s molecular structure can reform itself with ambient heat, meaning minor scratches and swirls will disappear over time. This property makes PPF an excellent choice for protecting your car’s paint from minor nicks and scratches.

In conclusion, PPF is an essential investment for anyone who wants to protect their investment and keep their car looking new for years to come. By forming a sturdy protective layer around the car’s paint, it not only protects the car’s paint from scratches but also self-heals and resists stains.

FAQ

Can The Film Be Waxed?
While you can wax the film, be sure the product you are using doesn’t contain Naphtha or Kerosene in concentrations over 5%, and avoid waxes that contain dyes.
How Do I Maintain PPF?
No special maintenance is required for XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS. However, the film will last longer and will be easier to clean if treated twice a year with XPEL Flawless Finish Paint Protection Film Sealant.
Can I Cover My Whole Vehicle With Paint Protection Film?
Yes. Most smooth painted surface can be covered with paint protection film.
Can I Use A Pressure Washer, And How Soon After Install?
Yes, pressure washers can be used on XPEL paint protection films, provided the film has completely dried after installation (typically 48 hours) and provided the high-pressure water is not pointed directly at the edges of the film.
Can I Install Paint Protection Film Myself?
Other than the simplest body panels, application of paint protection film is a process which requires a good deal of experience and training to obtain satisfactory results. The compound curves present on most surfaces require the film to be stretched and compressed in a very controlled way to ensure proper adhesion without distorting the adhesive. As such, it is highly recommended that the film is professionally installed.
If I Get A Partial Front End Wrap, Will The Edge Of The Film Be Noticeable?
While the edge of the film can be seen from certain angles, people generally do not notice it unless they are looking for it. However, if the car is dirty and dust and dirt can collect along the edge of the film, it will be more noticeable. Once the car is cleaned, it will be once again difficult to detect unless looking for it.
My Car Dealer Applied A Pacint Sealant To My Vehicle, Can I Have Paint Protection Film Installed Over This Protectant?
Waxes, sealants and protectants are typically designed to reduce the surface energy of the paint, making them easier to clean etc. A reduction in surface energy will reduce the film’s ability to adhere to the paint and could cause long term adhesion issues. Because of this, we generally recommend removing these types of products before installation. If these types of coatings are to be used, we recommend applying them AFTER installation of our paint protection film.
Can I Apply A Ceramic Coating On Top Of The Film And How Does It Affect The Self-Healing Feature Of Paint Protection Film?
Yes, Coatings can be applied to the films. Adding a coating does not stop the film from self-healing. Coatings can add a protective layer over the film, which depending on the coating can provide different properties (Please contact your installer or coating company for more information).
Can I Install A Vinyl Stripe On Top Of The Paint Protection Film And Will I Be Able To Remove The Stripe Without Damaging The Clear Protection?
Yes, you can install a vinyl on top of the film. We recommend waiting 48 hours after installation before doing so. You may also remove the stripe without damaging the film, if removed properly.
A Piece Of Road Debris Scratched The Film On My Car. Will This Self-Heal?
The self-healing clear coat of our paint protection films is designed to repair itself from swirl marks and light scratches from car washes, etc. If a piece of debris has penetrated all the way through the clear coat on the film, it will not self-heal. The only way to fix this would be to have the piece of film replaced.
How soon after installation can I drive my vehicle?
In an ideal situation, an installer will have the vehicle 24 hours to monitor the film for any lifting edges before releasing the vehicle to the owner. In situations where this is not possible, we strongly recommend at least a 2-3 hour waiting period indoors followed by an inspection to ensure all edges are sealed before the vehicle is released.
