Paint Protection Film (PPF)
How it works.

What is PPF?

PPF stands for Paint Protection Film. It is a clear, thermoplastic urethane film applied to the painted surfaces of a vehicle to protect the paint from rock chips, bug splatter, bird droppings, and other road debris. PPF provides an additional layer of defense against various environmental elements, preserving the appearance of the vehicle’s paint and protecting it from scuffs, chips and scrapes.

Why Partial Front / "Clear Bra" isn't enough.

While opting for a partial front application of PPF (sometimes referred to as “Clear Bra”) may seem like a tempting cost-saving measure, it’s essential to consider the comprehensive protection your vehicle truly deserves. The front end of your car is constantly exposed to road debris, gravel, bugs, and other environmental hazards, making it highly susceptible to damage. A partial front PPF application may leave vulnerable areas unprotected, compromising the overall effectiveness of the film. By choosing an Extended Protection or even a Full Protection PPF package, you ensure that every inch of your car’s paint receives the safeguarding it needs. Investing in a more complete coverage not only shields against unexpected damages but also maintains the uniformity of your vehicle’s appearance, enhancing its longevity and resale value.  Once you’ve decided on the coverage the next step is choosing the film.

What film is best?

While this question might be subjective, for us ULTRAFIT stands out from the rest. Their PPF is a cutting-edge urethane film with an adhesive backing, creating a virtually invisible barrier between your vehicle’s finish and the perils of everyday driving. It notably defends against rock chips, scratches, and swirl marks, preventing the deterioration of your paint that could lead to expensive repairs and potential depreciation in resale value. While ceramic coatings offer gloss, shine, and light surface protection, ULTRAFIT PPF takes it a step further as the highest quality, most durable, and long-lasting form of protection. The value of factory paint is unparalleled. That’s why protecting it is the single most effective thing you can do to maintain your investment and keep it looking new for longer.

What sets ULTRAFIT apart?

Not only does its self-healing technology ensure that scratches and chips “heal” themselves, maintaining the flawless appearance of your vehicle, but ULTRAFIT has multiple style PPF options if you want to alter the appearance of your vehicle while keeping all the benefits of traditional PPF. These options include matte finishes, a variety of colors, and their new revolutionary XP Black Carbon PPF.  Make your vehicle uniquely your while protecting it the same time.

How do you apply PPF?

The process begins with a thorough cleaning and preparation of the vehicle’s surface, eliminating any impurities that might affect the adhesion of the PPF. Preparation includes clay bar and paint correction leveraging a dual action rotary polisher. Film has to then be custom-cut to match the specific contours of your vehicle, guaranteeing a seamless fit. The application is conducted with expert hands, utilizing advanced tools and techniques to achieve a flawless, bubble-free finish. The result is an invisible yet powerful shield covering your vehicle.

You are ready for PPF. What happens next?

PPF can be installed at home, however it is a long process with a need for specialized equipment. Paint Protection Film can also be purchased in pre-cut sections.  These generally have to be purchased as a kit.  If a single piece is messed up during learning or installation process, an entire kit will need to be re-purchased.

Due to the required financial and time investment, Argus recommends visiting a specialized PPF shop with skilled technicians. It’s important to choose a reputable detailer and installer with experience and quality products to ensure that the paint is fully prepped so PPF can be applied correctly.  Care must be taken during installation to ensure no damage to any exterior surface from adhesive, heat and cutting tools.
