The Advantage of Paint Protection Film Installation for New Cars

New cars smell and look great from the moment you bring them home. That, however, does not last long. Your new car will begin to show signs of wear and tear in no time, with the paint on your car being the first to crack due to exposure to the elements. This is especially important when the condition of the paint directly affects the resale value.

If you view your car as an investment rather than just a means of transportation, you'll want to do everything you can to keep its resale value as high as possible. Installing paint protection film on new cars is one way to keep resale value high and repair costs low. These films provide a number of benefits to any new car owner who wants to keep their vehicle looking good for years after purchase. So, if you want to keep your new car in pristine condition, you should strongly consider having PPF installed before leaving the dealership.

Here are some additional reasons why installing PPF on your entire vehicle is a good idea:

What Is Paint Protection Film?

Paint protection film is a thin, clear film that is applied to both sides of the body of your car. It comes in sheets that are wrapped around the car to protect areas such as the fenders, bumpers, hood, and even the headlights. If you want to protect or style your headlights, headlight protection film is available.

PPF is not the same as clear coat, so don't get them mixed up! PPF only protects the paint from the outside, whereas a clear coat is applied to the painted surface.

How to Apply Paint Protection Film

The PPF film installation process is pretty straightforward, but it’s important to do it correctly. First, you’ll need to wash the car. This helps the chemicals in the film adhere more strongly and evenly to the vehicle surface. Tape off anything that you don't want the PPF to stick to. Then you'll spray an adhesive onto the fenders and bumpers' walls.

The PPF is then laid inside the fenders and smoothed down. The PPF is then meticulously applied to the hood and all sides of the vehicle. It’s important to smooth out any wrinkles or bubbles on the liner film. If not, they will become permanent on the car surface as the film cures.

The final step is to peel off the backing of the film and smooth it down until it's completely flat. True, you will need to touch up the PPF every few years, but it is well worth the effort!

Benefits of Paint Protection Film

As previously stated, PPF film is the best way to protect your paint job. It will ensure that your paint job lasts for a long time, eliminating the need for frequent touch-ups.

However, the advantages of PPF film go beyond simply protecting your car's paint job. Here are some additional benefits to installing PPF.

Protect Your Paint Job from UV rays

The sun is beneficial for more than just providing natural light. However, if not protected, its UV rays can wreak havoc on your car's paint job.

PPF can protect your car's paint from the sun, preventing it from fading or cracking as quickly.

It is critical to understand that PPF is not a type of paint. It does not protect the paint from fading, but rather from UV rays. This is why it is critical to apply the film correctly and not apply it too thickly.

Make It Easier to Clean Your Car

Cleaning your car on a regular basis is essential, but it can be a chore. If you have PPF installed, the job will be much easier. Because the surface is almost non-existent, paint protection film makes cleaning your car much easier. Most dirt, grime, and dust will easily wipe off the car as a result.

To avoid causing any damage, use soft sponges and brushes on a newly installed PPF job.

Protection from Accidental Dings and Scratches

Car owners are well aware that doors are prone to dings and scratches. This can make parking difficult, especially in congested areas. PPF will protect your doors from dents and scratches, allowing you to park with confidence knowing that your vehicle is safe.

Preserve Your Car’s Resale Value

Even if you don't intend to sell your new car, you may decide to trade it in for a newer model in the future. Install PPF film to protect the paint job and keep it looking as new as possible in order to get the most money for it. This keeps your car looking newer for longer, even if you don't wash it as frequently. This will help to keep your car's resale value high.

Protection From Rock Chips

Many people are unaware that rock chips are a serious issue. They are small divots caused by driving alongside a curb or striking rocks at high speeds. These chips can occasionally cause paint cracks. You'll be protected from rock chips if you have PPF installed, and they'll be less likely to damage your paint job.
