What is a
Paint Protection Film?

Paint protection film, or PPF for short, is a thick transparent plastic sheet that we apply on vehicles to protect the paint. It is strong, flexible, and quite resistant to deterioration caused by UV light. Once applied to a vehicle, it acts like a layer of armor that protects a car’s paint from small scratches, minor dents, chipping, and chemical corrosion. It is one of the best types of car paint protection coating available on the market.

How Does PPF in San Antonio Work?

Paint Protection Film is an easy-to-use material with many different layers. Each of these layers functions differently in regards to protecting a vehicle’s paint.

1.
The first layer helps protect the film until it is installed. Once the paint protection film is applied onto a vehicle, the liner is removed and thrown away.
2.
The next layer is the acrylic adhesive part which sticks to a vehicle’s clear coat. It is designed to stay attached to the film, making the PPF easy to remove without damaging your car’s paint.
3.
The following layer is the thick urethane layer. It’s designed to absorb small hits and spread the impact energy over a wider area. This stops the paint from getting scratched or chipped.
4.
The final layer is a thin clear coat that essentially seals the urethane layer so it will be resistant to oxidation, pollutants, and UV damage.
