Paint Protection Film: Invisible Armor That Keeps Your Finish Looking New

Tue, 07 Oct 2025 22:27:03 +0000

Paint protection film, often shortened to PPF and sometimes called clear bra, is a thin, transparent polyurethane layer that bonds to your vehicle’s painted panels. It shields against rock chips, scratches, road rash, and stains from bird droppings or bug acids. Because the film is optically clear and engineered to resist yellowing, it preserves the original color and gloss while remaining almost invisible in everyday light. Modern PPF includes an elastic, self-healing topcoat that allows fine wash marks to relax and disappear with ambient heat or warm water. The film can be removed without damaging factory paint, returning the car to stock when it is time to sell or trade.
