#1 PPF is self-healing
This is our favorite fact though it is often called into question. Nevertheless, it is absolutely true! The Clearcoat layer is the very layer that has the self healing capability.
How does it work? It gets heated up by sunlight (sometimes artificially) and due to the film’s flexibility it levels off the scratches. Now, we don’t mean deep and huge scratches and chips – we are talking about light and medium scratches. And if we consider the reviews from car owners, it really works!
#2 Paint protection film has non-yellowing function
Yes, that is completely accurate! Nevertheless, there are some nuances that need to be considered as well. For instance, all film brands also guarantee the non-yellowing feature. But if the film is of poor quality this can happen.
What should you do in this case? The answer is quite simple: select reputable shops that provide PPF services from the top brands like XPEL.
#3 PPF Wrap is invisible
A lot of car owners are concerned that the film will be visible to others and may spoil the appearance of the car. In fact, this is a myth: if professionals are working, Paint Protection Film will be completely invisible, since it adheres closely to the car and matches its surface.
However, for those who would just like to give the car a bit of a refresh, there is another choice: colored PPF. A color PPF works just like traditional PPF in its functionality but changes the look of your car.
#4 The durability of PPF – how long is it?
PPF wrap durability is still a subject of debate. What can we say about this? We can guarantee our clients the best XPEL film as a company that has been working with PPF for a long time. This film comes with a 10 year warranty.
As for the durability – there are factors that can influence it: environmental factors, car care, and the type of film used. Remember, if you choose the best – GTD autolab, durability is guaranteed.
#5 The owner can use the Paint Protection film on the car himself
There are people who own cars and think that applying PPF is very easy and they can do it themselves. In fact, non-professionals are unable to apply the film correctly as applying Paint Protection Film is not a very simple task. It can only be done by people who have undergone specific training.
So, what’s the problem? In general, the car has to be properly prepared and cleaned. Then the film has to be cut into pieces of the right shape. The film doesn’t always adhere perfectly, so one must know how to align it. Also, for the paint protection film installation, there are some additional tools used. If you are not a professional, all these actions may cause damage to the paint of your car.
Conclusion
The PPF wrap is a great way to not only make your car look good as new for a longer period of time but also to protect it. It has truly many protective functions and there are also other additional options available. However, it is important that the PPF installation is done by professionals – such as GTD Autolab.
