What Is a Paint Protection Film?

How to keep your vehicle looking pristine

In case your car is affected by road debris, the paint protection film can save you thousands in repair costs.

What is PPF?

Paint protection films were intended for military operations before they were applied for automobiles and civilian vehicles. The film would protect the military machinery like helicopters from shrapnel and debris. Manufacturers used the concept to create a thermoplastic urethane that is transparent or can be colored and custom textured. PPF from Official Colorado Detailing is a clear paint protection film you can buy in various grades or thickness. We guarantee a professional application with precision.

Why You Need Paint Protection Film

There are several advantages to gain from installing a paint protection film. For one, the PPF produces a high-quality finish, with some types coming in a gloss or matte finish. In addition, the paint protection film will reduce orange peel and the visible glue marks, leaving your car with a clean finish. When you use the paint protection film, you’ll also gain superior protection against chemicals and corrosives because the film is infused with multiple layers that act as barriers. The film is also maintenance-free.
