Paint Protection Film (PPF)

Self-healing paint protection film that takes the hits your paint shouldn't.

What it is
  • STEK · 3M
  • Self-healing
  • 10-year warranty

Paint protection film is a clear, self-healing layer fitted over your paint. It absorbs stone chips, light scratches and wash swirls - and minor marks vanish with heat from the sun or warm water.

Protect the high-impact areas - front bumper, bonnet, mirrors, arches - or wrap the full body for complete coverage, fitted in-house at our Cape Town studio. Optically clear, so the finish reads like bare paint.

PPF protects; it doesn't change colour. For a finish change, see Vehicle Wraps - the two are often fitted together.
