PPF is typically clear, adhesive-backed layer that an expert can apply to certain body panels or even an entire vehicle. While PPF has been around for decades, the latest, most advanced films may last for a long time even under extreme light conditions, and they can heal themselves after light scratches.

Forget what you may have heard about older PPF, which typically cracked, yellowed, or both after a few years in bright climates. This was especially prevalent in cars that spent time in sunny western states, where rock chips and paint fade are more prevalent—just the kind of places where PPF should be the most useful.

A high-quality, modern PPF, can be backed by an extensive warranty against fading and cracking.
