What is PPF or paint protection film?
Paint protection film, commonly referred to as PPF or stone guard, is an innovative thermoplastic urethane (TPU) technology that easily applies to the body of your vehicle, whether new or used. Imagine an invisible shield that protects your vehicle from stone chips, insect splatter, and minor scratches. Thanks to its high-quality clear coat, it blends seamlessly with the paintwork, providing a neat finish while preventing chemical contaminants from penetrating.

Any questions?
Yes, the car stone guard film can be easily removed. However, it might take a little more work after a few years of installation.
Yes, we recommend washing your vehicle before your installation appointment. A clean surface ensures that the stone guard film adheres properly to your car's paint. Afterwards, we will decontaminate the vehicle to ensure better adhesion and the quality of the final result.
After installation, it is recommended to wait at least seven days before washing your car. This waiting period allows the stone guard film to properly adhere to the surface of your vehicle. During this initial drying time, it is essential to avoid washing or waxing your car, as well as exposing it to rain or high-pressure water, such as in automatic car washes. After the seven-day period, you can safely wash your vehicle.
Yes, you can apply a ceramic coating to a car that already has a stone guard film installed. In fact, many car owners choose to combine these two protection solutions for enhanced results. While stone guard film primarily protects against physical impacts, such as stone chips and scratches, ceramic coating adds an extra layer of protection by enhancing the gloss of the paint, making it resistant to UV rays and environmental pollutants.
The time it takes to install stone guard film for a full car can vary depending on several factors, including the complexity of the vehicle design, the specific areas where the stone guard film is being applied, and the experience level of the installer. Typically, a full car installation can take between three and five days. For a standard stone guard film installation covering key areas such as the front bumper, hood, fenders, mirrors, and door edges, it typically takes about one to two days.
Maintaining your stone guard film is very similar to car paint. You can protect it with the same nano-ceramic products or spray waxes that you find everywhere. However, keep in mind not to get too close with the pressure washer when rinsing and to be careful with the edges where the film is installed.
Stone guard film typically lasts between 5 and 10 years, depending on the quality of the film, the climate, and the level of maintenance it receives. Premium stone guard film products are designed to stand the test of time, backed by a 10-year manufacturer warranty.
Generally no, stone guard film is designed to be virtually invisible. The film is clear and once applied it enhances the depth and shine of your car's paint. High quality stone guard film products also have a smooth finish that maintains the original aesthetic of the car, ensuring it looks as good as new. However, in some areas with several sharp curves, we need to make a join that can be visible. Some parts will not necessarily be covered entirely inside the protected area. So it ends very close to the edge to minimize the demarcation.
Yes, stone guard film can absolutely be applied to used vehicles. In fact, it’s a great way to restore and preserve the appearance of a used car. Whether your used vehicle has minor imperfections or is in near-new condition, stone guard film can protect its paint from further damage caused by scratches, chips, fading, and environmental contaminants. It’s never too late to protect your car with stone guard film!
