Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a clear, high-performance urethane film that’s applied directly to your vehicle’s paintwork. Virtually invisible when applied correctly, PPF provides a durable, self-healing barrier against scratches, stone chips, road grime and environmental damage.
Originally developed to protect the rotor blades of military helicopters during the Vietnam War, modern PPF is engineered to suit both everyday and exotic vehicles. The film is hydrophobic. This means that not only does rain bead beautifully, but cleaning is a breeze as mud, dirt, dust and bird droppings just rinse off. And PPF is self-healing –shallow scratches and small splits or holes are reformed by the heat gained from direct sunlight or a warm bonnet. For car owners in London, where tight streets, roadworks and high traffic levels pose daily threats to pristine paint, PPF offers a proven solution.
Driving in London presents a unique set of challenges. From bumper-to-bumper traffic on the North Circular and tight parking in West London, to construction dust and road grit across the city, your car’s paintwork is always under attack.
Your car can pick up stone chips on the M25, the A4 or the A40. Tight parking areas or squeezing down narrow streets lead to inevitable scratches or scrapes. London’s air quality is getting better, but it is still heavy with contaminants and pollutants, from corrosive nitrous oxides to iron particles from brakes and rubber dust from tyres, all of which degrade the colour, shine and depth of your paintwork. Come winter, as well as rain, there’s more road debris, and there’s salt on the roads to contend with. All waiting to fly up and cause dings, chips and scratches
Add in bird droppings under tree-lined avenues, unpredictable weather and the increasing number of cyclists and scooters, and it’s easy to see why paint protection film in West London and beyond is growing in popularity.
From luxury estates and executive saloons to sports cars and daily drivers, London PPF benefits all kinds of vehicles. High-end marques like Porsche, Tesla, BMW and Ferrari gain the most from preserving flawless finishes, but more and more drivers of non-exotic marques, from Mazdas and Minis to Fords and Fiats, are seeing the benefits of paint protection film in London.
There’s no doubt that PPF has the biggest financial benefits on higher-value and prestige cars. So much of an exotic car’s value is in its appearance, and rectifying or repairing damaged paintwork can be extremely expensive. So, applying PPF can readily save significant amounts of depreciation.
For more everyday cars, PPF can still yield benefits. If you’re planning on keeping a car for a long time, PPF can retain more value by protecting the paintwork from damage and fading, as well as eliminating repairs or touch-ups over time. Because the PPF we use at Auto Protek does not damage the paint and can be removed if needed, it is classed as a non-permanent modification. This means that most leasing companies not only permit paint protection film but actively encourage it, since it means that the car will be in better cosmetic condition (and have a higher value) at the end of the lease. It can also save you from any charges or penalties when you return the car.
But there are more than financial benefits to car paint protection film for London. It can provide peace of mind. Many proud owners of premium or exotic cars that they have worked and saved hard for are reluctant to actually use and enjoy them, especially on London’s crowded streets, for fear of picking up scratches and stone chips. And that can bother all car owners – you don’t have to own a Ferrari to worry about your car parked on the street, vulnerable to being knocked or scraped by passing traffic.
