Paint Protection Film (PPF) Overview
-
Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a high-performance, transparent polyurethane film designed to protect your vehicle's paint from various environmental factors such as scratches, chips, bird droppings, UV rays, and other road contaminants. It's also known as a “clear bra” due to its protective qualities. PPF is self-healing, meaning minor abrasions or swirl marks can repair themselves when exposed to heat or sunlight.
-
Formula Solutions offers various PPF options to match your specific protection needs:
Standard PPF: Offers strong protection against everyday hazards like rock chips and minor scratches while maintaining a clear and durable finish.
Self-Healing PPF: Features advanced self-healing properties. Small scratches and marks will disappear when exposed to heat, keeping the film looking new.
Matte PPF: This version offers the same protection as clear PPF but with a sleek, non-glossy matte finish, providing a more unique and stylish appearance.
Custom PPF: If you're looking for full vehicle coverage or protection for specific areas like hoods, bumpers, side mirrors, or door edges, we offer tailored solutions to fit your needs.
-
Durability: Offers excellent protection against physical damage, road salts, tree sap, acid rain, and other harmful contaminants.
Self-Healing Technology: Minor scuffs and scratches vanish with exposure to heat or sunlight, keeping the film looking pristine.
UV Protection: Protects the paint underneath from UV rays, preventing fading and discoloration over time.
Stain Resistance: Prevents stains from common contaminants like road tar, bird droppings, and sap.
Preserves Resale Value: By protecting your vehicle’s paint, PPF helps maintain its aesthetic appeal, preserving its value when it’s time to sell or trade.

Preparation: To ensure perfect adhesion, the vehicle must be thoroughly cleaned and prepped. Any surface contaminants, grease, or dirt must be removed.
Precision Cutting: Our expert installers use state-of-the-art software and laser-cut technology for a flawless, custom fit.
Application: The film is applied using water and an adhesive solution to create a bubble-free finish. Special tools are used to conform the film to your vehicle's curves.
Drying Time: After installation, allow 24-48 hours for the film to cure fully. During this time, it's critical to avoid washing or exposing the vehicle to moisture.
-
Regular Washing: Wash your vehicle with mild, non-abrasive soap and a microfiber towel. Avoid using abrasive scrubbing tools or harsh chemicals.
Drying: Always dry your vehicle with a microfiber towel to prevent water spots from forming.
Protective Coating: Applying a ceramic coating over the PPF can help further protect the film and maintain its self-healing properties.
Avoid Physical Damage: Though PPF is durable, it’s still important to avoid extreme abrasions. Store your vehicle in a safe environment to protect it from unnecessary damage.
