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.

  • We offer a premium range of films designed to suit different finishes and preferences:

    • Gloss PPF – Enhances paint depth and shine.

    • Matte PPF – Preserves a sleek, non-reflective finish.

    • Specialty & Coloured Films – For custom styling with the same protection benefits.

    All films are engineered for clarity, durability, and easy maintenance.

    • 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.

    • How long does PPF last?
      With proper care, PPF can last up to 10 years. Self-healing films may offer extended longevity due to their enhanced durability.

    • Can PPF be removed?
      Yes, PPF can be safely removed without damaging the paint underneath. Professional removal is recommended for optimal results.

    • Is PPF noticeable?
      No, once installed, PPF is virtually invisible and does not affect the vehicle's aesthetic. For a different look, matte PPF provides a non-glossy finish.

    • Does PPF affect the color or finish of the car?
      PPF is designed to remain clear and will not alter the color or gloss of your vehicle. If you prefer a matte finish, we offer a matte variant.

  • To get the perfect PPF for your vehicle, simply reach out to Formula Solutions or visit one of our authorized dealers. Whether you need full vehicle coverage or just protection for specific areas, we offer various options to suit your needs.
