advantages of PPF
PPF offers significant benefits beyond merely enhancing your vehicle’s look. As a strong shield against everyday hazards, PPF effectively reduces the likelihood of scratches, chips, and other damage caused by road debris, insects, and environmental elements. This protective layer helps your vehicle maintain its showroom shine, keeping it looking pristine over time. The film’s self-healing technology allows minor scratches to disappear with heat exposure, preserving the paint’s smooth finish. Additionally, PPF’s resistance to UV rays and contaminants prevents discoloration and oxidation, extending your paint’s lifespan and enhancing your vehicle’s resale value.

FAQ's
What is the toughest PPF?
Xpel by far produces the toughest film on the market. It is designed to provide optimal surface protection to the most high-impact areas you can imagine and will protect your paintwork from stone chips, scratches, scuffs and more. It is also self healing and comes with a 10 year warranty against yellowing and cracking. The Xpel Ultimate Plus gloss PPF will enhance your paintwork as well as protecting it. PPF specific ceramic coatings can be applied on top to add an extra layer of protection.
How long does PPF last?
PPF can last on average around 7-10 years. Longevity can depend on how well the PPF is looked after, the amount of UV exposure it has and the use it is put through.
What does PPF protect against?
PPF protects against stone chips and road debris, scratches and scuffs, chemical stains and etching as well as UV damage and oxidation.
How much does PPF cost?
The cost of a professional PPF installation can range from £450.00 for front bumper coverage to £5500 for a full car installation. Contributing factors to such a vast disparity in pricing are things such as the condition of the existing paintwork, the coverage of the film and the length of time the installation will take.
How do you wash Xpel PPF?
We advise using pH neutral shampoos in conjunction with a lambswool wash mitt. If using a pressure washer you will need to be mindful to stay around two feet away when using it, especially around the edges of the film. Although not essential, the two-bucket method is highly recommended when washing.
Can you polish Xpel PPF?
While it is technically possible to polish paint protection film, it is not a recommended practice as it may have a detrimental effect on the film’s performance. Polishing or waxing paint protection film can cause discoloration and cloudiness over time.
