Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a fast growing industry, making now a great opportunity for detailers and vehicle wrappers to get involved. With some training you can easily enter this market with your existing car wrapping skills to tap into this expanding market and boost your revenue. PPF is used to protect your customer’s car from environmental hazards; helping maintain the factory-fresh look of the vehicle and preserving the car’s resale value. Find out more about PPF as a business opportunity here.
PPF consists of an ultra-thin polyurethane, or polymer which forms a transparent protective surface. This thin layer protects the car’s clear coat as well as the paint beneath it. You can decide whether to cover the entire car or just the most vulnerable areas such as the bumpers, bonnet, wheel arches or headlights.
Benefits of Paint Protection Film
Self-healing ability
If a car that has PPF gets scratched or damaged the film will regenerate itself. Marks from stone chips, road debris, scratches and abrasions will heal, once exposed to heat from the sun or hot water. This keeps the car protected and looking new for years.
Help save money on repairs
If your car gets damaged and you need to have the paint corrected this can be very costly. This makes PPF a great preventative measure to keep your customer’s car looking as good as new, saving them from costly repairs.
Make car cleaning easier
PPF contains an anti-adhesion component that repels dust and dirt, preventing it from sticking to the vehicle. Many products are also hydrophobic, helping to repel water to avoid any unsightly water marks.
Avoid UV damage
The sun can cause car paint to fade, which leaves the paint job looking dull. PPF has a unique chemical property which makes it resistant to UV radiation. Blocking out the harmful UV rays that cause paint to fade and discolour.
Resale value protection
Protect against UV radiation, bird droppings, water stains and other impurities which can cause vehicle paint to fade. With a PPF coating, the car can retain its colour and shine helping to preserve the vehicle’s value for years.
Protect your headlights and windshield
Protect your customers’ headlights and windshield from rock chips, tree branches, bug splatter and other contaminants. You can even offer to give their headlights a unique tint, so their vehicle stands out from the crowd.
PPF is an amazing way to shield a vehicle’s surface from environmental damage, which results in less vehicle maintenance and preserves the vehicle’s resale value. It’s becoming more and more popular, making PPF application a lucrative skill to have.
