Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a clear, durable layer applied to a vehicle’s exterior to guard against damage from everyday wear and tear.
At Jules Sturgess Automotive, we specialise in expertly installing this advanced protective technology, helping to preserve your car’s pristine condition for years to come.
Understanding Paint Protection Film
Paint Protection Film is most commonly made from a high grade thermoplastic urethane.
Originally developed for military use, it has evolved into a refined solution for automotive care.
The film is typically applied to the most vulnerable areas of a car, such as the bonnet, front bumper, wings, door edges, and mirrors, to shield against stone chips, minor abrasions, insect residue, and environmental contaminants.
Once installed, PPF is virtually invisible, maintaining the colour, depth, and gloss of your car’s paintwork while delivering exceptional defence.
How Does it Work?
The urethane material used in PPF has remarkable self healing properties. Minor scratches and swirl marks can disappear when exposed to warmth, either from sunlight or hot water. This self repair ability ensures your car’s finish remains smooth and flawless with minimal effort.
The film acts as a sacrificial layer. Instead of damage reaching the paint, debris impacts the film surface, which absorbs and disperses the force.
If the film becomes seriously damaged, it can be replaced without affecting your original paintwork.
