Are you interested in PPF installation? When you invest in a car, you want its appearance to last as long as possible and reflect the pride of ownership. But with the potential for UV sun damage, bird and bug splatter, and minor dings and swirls, owning a car can quickly turn into a frustrating experience. Suddenly, your once flawless paint finish is dim and lackluster just from driving it around town.
Unlike waxes and similar products that create a film that quickly disolves, PPF installation can help. It serves as a shield over your car's paint, extending the life of your vehicle's original paint job and even self-healing minor scratches and swirls.
What is Paint Protection Film (PPF)?
Paint Protection Film, also called PPF or a clear bra, is a specialized, transparent urethane film applied to a vehicle's exterior surfaces. This unique film is designed to form a nearly invisible barrier between your car's original paint and protect against harsh elements, including dried-on bug splatter and water stains.
PPF installation can also help absorb the impact of small rocks and other debris, prevent minor scratches while protecting against harsh environmental factors that quickly lead to the fading, discoloration, and overall degradation of your vehicle's once vibrant paint color.
The Installation Process
PPF installation requires an expert touch and meticulous care. Otherwise, you could compromise your car's appearance or render your PPF installation useless.
1) Surface Prep
Before you do anything else, your car's surface must be thoroughly prepped with a high attention to detail. From dirt to lingering wax, all pollutants should be removed before your PPF installation. If you cut corners on this step, you could see bubbles and imperfections trapped underneath the film.
2) Custom Cut
Your car's make and model have specific contours and features that need to be accommodated. Your PPF installation should fit perfectly over every curve or your car's surface. The team at Sigma Kore uses computer software and years of expertise for precise cutting to fit your vehicle flawlessly.
3) Application
When your PPF installation is ready, it requires a combination of heat and pressure to conform to your vehicle's shape. Your professional installer should use specialized tools to smooth out air bubbles and imperfections until it fits perfectly over the surface of your car.
4) Finishing Touches
After applying your PPF film, your team will meticulously trim away any edges and add finishing touches. The goal is to create a seamless transition between the film on your car and its original paint job. These touches may be small, but they are crucial to achieving a virtually invisible appearance.
5) Curing
After your PPF installation is complete, it still needs time to dry and adhere to the surface of your vehicle. The curing process can take a few days, and avoiding exposure to harsh conditions or weather is recommended.
How Long Does PPF Installation Last?
PPF installation can last seven to ten years, but it depends on various factors. Your climate, driving activities, weather, and your car's original paint job can all impact how well PPF stands up to the test of time. Regardless of your situation, you should be able to enjoy years of worry-free driving while enjoying your aesthetics.
