What Benefits Does Paint Protection Film Offer?
When it comes to paint protection film or clear bra as it is sometimes referred to, there are many benefits that make it an attractive option for protecting the exterior of your vehicle. Here are just a few advantages you'll enjoy when you choose to have one of Crystal Clear Detail expert installers apply paint protection film to your automobile.
Protection From Fading
One of the main benefits of paint protection film is that it will help to keep your vehicle's paint looking new for years to come. The film acts as a barrier between the paint and the elements, blocking out harmful UV rays that can cause fading.
Ease of Maintenance
Paint protection film also makes it easier to keep your vehicle clean. The smooth surface repels dirt, dust and grime, so you won't have to spend as much time cleaning your car. And if the film does get dirty, it's easy to clean - just wash it with soap and water.
Protection From Scratches and Abrasions
Paint protection film also acts as a shield against scratches, scuffs and other types of damage. The clear film is virtually invisible, so it won't alter the look of your vehicle. And if the worst should happen and the film does become damaged, it can easily be replaced.
Prevents Chemical Contamination
Another advantage of paint protection film is that it helps to prevent chemical contamination. This is especially important during Cincinnati winters when road salt is frequently used to prevent ice from forming. The film will block out the salt, so it can't get through to the paint and cause corrosion.
What is the difference between PPF and Ceramic Coating?
The main difference between paint protection film (PPF) and ceramic coating is that PPF is a physical barrier applied to the paint, while ceramic coatings create
chemical bonds that form a protective layer on top of the paint. Both offer excellent protection against UV rays, bird droppings, tree sap, and other environmental
contaminants. However, PPF will typically last longer and provide better overall protection specifically against light scratches and other abrasions.
How long does paint protection film last?
Depending on the type of paint protection film you choose, most films can last up to ten years if properly cared for. However, it is important to note
that paint protection films will need to be reapplied every few years in order to maintain optimal levels of protection.
Can I protect my paint protection film with a ceramic coating?
Yes, you can! In fact, we recommend it. Ceramic coatings provide an extra layer of protection against the elements and will help your paint protection film last even longer.
What is the best way to properly care for my paint protection film?
The best way to properly care for paint protection film is to wash it regularly with soap and water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasives, as these can damage
the film. Additionally, it is important to inspect your paint protection film regularly to ensure that it is still in good condition and not peeling or bubbling. At
