WHAT IS PAINT PROTECTION FILM?

Paint Protection Film or PPF is the latest development of a technology designed to protect helicopter blades during the Gulf War. It has now been refined for use on today’s vehicles.

WHY SHOULD I PUT PPF ON MY VEHICLE?

By applying PPF to the front of your vehicle, you prevent stone chips to the paint and the expensive headlight lenses. It helps your vehicle retain its value when the time comes to sell or trade-in.

WON’T IT CAUSE THE PAINT TO FADE AT DIFFERENT RATES?

No. Premium Shield PPF is transparent to UV and the paint under the film ages at the same rate as the unprotected paint.

WILL THE FILM TURN YELLOW?

No. While the film allows UV through to the paint, the film itself is UV stable and will not yellow.

CAN I SEE THE PPF WHEN IT IS APPLIED?

Yes, but you really have to look for it! There is a fine line where the film ends, which is visible where you are looking, but most people don’t notice it.

IS THERE ANY WAY TO NOT HAVE THE FINE LINE WHERE THE FILM ENDS?

Yes. You can have the entire panel covered, but this becomes very expensive and the patterns are designed to give maximum protection for minimum cost.

WHY NOT USE BULK FILM TO COVER THE VEHICLE INSTEAD OF PATTERNS?

Applying bulk film to a panel entails cutting the film on the vehicle. This is fraught with danger as it is easy to slip and cut into the paint you are trying to protect. By using computer cut patterns, you are assured there will be minimal trimming on the vehicle and all edges are smooth and straight.

WHAT IF YOU DON’T HAVE A PATTERN FOR MY CAR?

We can create a pattern and apply the film in a day for most vehicles. We may not be able to cut full bonnets and guards on-site, so this coverage may require a second visit.

WHAT IS REQUIRED TO MAINTAIN PPF?

Normal washing and waxing will keep the PPF in great condition.

CAN THE PPF BE REMOVED?

Yes. It has an aggressive adhesive to hold it in place for the life of the film but if it needs to be removed, it will not damage factory original paint.

View All
- It’s manufactured in widths up to 1520mm, so we can cover full bonnets and guards for most vehicles
- We use a computer plotter to cut the film to a pattern, this ensures an exact fit and smooth edge
- We have an extensive library of patterns for modern vehicles
- We can make our own patterns for vehicles not serviced by the library.
- The film is highly elastic and can be applied to compound curves to provide protection in the most difficult places
- It’s UV stable, so it will not yellow, bubble, or crack
- It protects your vehicle 24/7 and never needs to be removed for cleaning or maintenance
- Once installed, it cannot trap dust or moisture between the film and paint
- It cannot abrade the paint or promote corrosion
- Elite SH has a memory- it will return to the form it was originally in so any scratches or fine marks will disappear.

PRODUCT HISTORY

Paint Protection Film
- Paint Protection Film or PPF was developed from a film used in the Middle East Conflict ‘Desert Storm’ to protect helicopter blades and propellers against abrasion from the desert sands.
Original film
- This Helicopter tape was either black or clear and turned yellow with age. This didn’t matter as long as it did its job.
Early Versions of PPF
- Early versions of PPF for cars were initially clear but yellowed quickly. The surface was quite dull and trapped dirt in the pores of the film, creating a grey tint.
2013
- After using several brands of PPF over the years we settled on Premiumshield Elite as it has an optical clarity so close to 100% it is as clear as glass.
2019
- In 2019, Invisible Car Bras changed to installing Premium Shield Elite SH (self healing). Elite SH has an outstanding memory allowing it to recover from scratches without the need to pour hot water or apply heat to the film. With a clarity and smothness like glass, the resultant finish is even more spectacular.
