PPF
It’s easy to work up a sweat as a proud car owner driving around Dallas-Fort Worth. With intense sunshine, dust, dirt, humidity, and road debris, it can feel as though everything is out to get your ride.
The good news is that one simple vehicle upgrade can be all it takes to offer peace of mind when you’re behind the wheel. Keep reading to learn why paint protection film (PPF) is a must-have for protecting your pride and joy in Texas.
Protection from Physical Damage
Our Texas roads aren’t perfect. Road debris, rocks, and stones can all flick up as we’re driving along, causing scratches, scuffs, and chips. It can be disheartening when you try to take great care of your vehicle.
If you invest in paint protection film, which is a clear urethane film applied to your vehicle’s paint, those frustrating scuffs, swirl marks, chips, and light scratches can be problems of the past. Paint protection film offers protection from physical damage, especially in high-contact areas.
Resistance to UV Rays and Chemicals
It isn’t just gravel and rocks that are trying to harm our cars. The damaging UV rays from the sun and chemicals are, too. Everything from bug splatter and acid rain to tree sap and bird droppings can be our paintwork’s worst nightmare.
Further worsening the problem is the hot Texas sun. Contaminants that might otherwise take days to damage paintwork can start damaging it in a matter of hours under the intense rays.
Fortunately, you can find a friend in PPF. This protective film functions as a shield between contaminants and your vehicle’s paintwork. Some of the best PPF products on the market also block harmful UV rays that cause fading and oxidation.
Paint Quality and Vehicle Value Preservation
It can be disheartening when you drive a brand-new vehicle off the lot, knowing that when the time comes to sell it in the years to come, it’s often going to be worth significantly less. You might not get around depreciation, but PPF can go a long way toward softening the blow.
When installed by a trusted professional, PPF can preserve your vehicle’s paintwork, helping it to maintain its showroom shine. A vehicle with like-new paint is undoubtedly worth more than one with scratches and imperfections.
Self-Healing Properties
When light scratches appear on our paintwork from stones, gravel, and general road debris, we’re often stuck with them. Buffing, waxing, and shining can sometimes help, but some scratches are just too deep to remove.
Many quality PPF products on the market have self-healing properties. This means that when the film is lightly scratched while protecting your paintwork, heat can make those scratches disappear. Sunlight and warm water can also sometimes do the trick.
Matte and Gloss Finishes
Being proud of our vehicles means ensuring they’re uniquely ours. Some people add mag wheels and pin stripes, while others go for more easy-to-change features like the classic fluffy dice and cool car seat covers.
However, you can also achieve a custom look with paint protection film. While it’s designed to be clear to let your paintwork do all the talking, it’s available in a matte and gloss finish. You can quickly add that extra ‘cool’ factor to your pride and joy.
