You might be asking yourself, “What is paint protection film, and how does it work?” Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered.


Paint protection film, PPF for short, is a thick, flexible, and crystal-clear film that is made out of polyurethane. PPF has a specially formulated adhesive on its back, which allows it to seamlessly adhere to the surface of your car. Also known as clear bra, this film acts as a barrier between your vehicle’s paint and outside contaminants, effectively protecting it from UV rays, scratches, swirl marks, bird droppings, tree sap, and more.
