Paint Protection Film

What is Paint Protection Film?

Paint protection film, also known as PPF or clear bra, is a thermoplastic urethane film, typically measuring at 8 millimeters thick, that is applied to painted surfaces of a car as a way to protect them from environmental factors such as rock chips, bug splatter and UV rays. Below you will find some more information on the benefits of PPF, what makes us diferent, and the packages we offer.

Benefits of Paint Protection Film

Protection

Paint protection film is a great way to protect your paint from rock chips and scratches that can depreciate the value of your car. Simply putting PPF on the front end of your car can save you thousands of dollars in future paint repair. It can also be removed later when selling the car to expose the fully protected original paint.

Self Healing

All the paint protection film we use have durable and self-healing properties. This means swirls and scratches will not happen as easily and any minor swirls/scratches that may occur will actually fade away as your car is exposed to heat. Simply having your car sit in the sun or lightly using a heat gun can drastically reduce and sometimes fully eliminate any minor swirls or scratches you see on the film.

Top Coat

Our film also includes a top coat, similar to a ceramic coating, that has hydrophobic properties that will reduce the number of times you will need to wash your car and will also help make the washing process easier.

Customizable

Our paint protection film can be applied to as few or as many painted surfaces as you’d like. We can apply it to as small of an area as headlights to avoid yellowing and haziness, or we can apply it to every painted surface of the car to protect every inch possible. 

Warrantied

Our film is also backed by a manufacturer’s 10-year limited warranty against cracking, bubbling, and yellowing when properly maintained. If any of these occur to your paint protection film, simply bring it back to us and we will replace all affected pieces, free of charge

Our Difference

At Driveway Details, we not only pride ourselves on the quality of our installations but also the longevity of our installations. Installing Paint Protection Film properly takes a lot of skill and patience. One of the great things about purchasing a PPF package with Driveway Details is that all of our PPF packages include wrapping the film wherever possible for the most seamless install while also doing so in the safest way possible to avoid potential film failure. Many shops will charge more to wrap edges, or they will push the limits of the paint protection film too far, causing film failure down the road. At Driveway Details, we will always be sure to protect as much of the paint as we can, in the safest way that we can.

Matte Paint Protection Film

Driveway Details also offers Matte Paint Protection Film. Matte PPF has all the durability benefits of our gloss PPF but will give your car a satin look to the paint. this is typically applied on all painted surfaces of the car, but there are options on two tone cars to apply matte PPF to just one of the colors, creating a personalized and exclusive look to your car.

Paint Protection Film Packages

If you see a package that covers almost everything you’re looking for but you’d like to add a section such as the roof in PPF, that’s no problem at all and we can work through pricing with you. These packages are simply what we view as the most desired options.

Partial Front End Package

This package is for those looking to protect their most forward facing and high impact areas in the most cost effective way possible.

This is especially true when it comes to cars that are wider in the rear such as a Viper, where the rear quarter panels are much more exposed to any rocks that the front wheels may kick up. This also makes it a popular package for those who track their cars, hence the name, “Driver’s Package”.
