Protect Your Vehicle From Rock Chips

Paint Is not Protective

From off-roading in Anza Borrego, to cruising the crashing coastal shores of Southern California, why wouldn’t you want to protect your vehicle from harsh elements and destructive debris? Maintaining the look and value of your ride is no simple task no matter where you live or how cautiously you drive. It doesn’t matter how expensive your car or truck is, the paint is simply not durable. The moment that a dealership unwraps the protective barrier used during transportation, vehicles become exposed to a number of destructive elements.

Protecting Your Vehicle: Paint Protection Film

So how do we prevent damage when we drive? The clear answer has always been paint protection film (also known as PPF or Clear Bra). Paint protection film is installed onto your car like a thin, sleek shield of modern-day armor. The film is a durable nano-ceramic film layer that is applied using a hydro/heat application process. All installations are completely custom, meaning that any vehicle can be protected and there are options for partial and full coverage.

Clear Shield Vs Color Shield

When paint protection film first came to market, the only option was a clear gloss finish. Perfect for those who love the original color of their vehicle and are looking only to protect the original finish. While clear ppf is still one of the most popular options, car enthusiast wanted more options to choose from. Manufactures then came out with a clear matte option that gave customers more options in terms of both protecting and styling their vehicles. Most recently, a few companies have been creating vibrant color paint protection films. This has been a game changer in recent years for not only being able to protect your vehicle, but change the style entirely.

Whether you choose clear or color paint protection film, your vehicle will be protected from rock chips and other environmental factors. Small scratches are easily removed with a heated treatment, leaving the coating fresh and new. Paint protection film withstands physical batter whereas ceramic coating and waxes do not.

PPF provides maximum coverage for your vehicle and protects against damage.  While a cheaper alternative may seem like a good option, keep in mind that they provide minimal protection and serve no purpose in protecting the vehicle occupants from hazards, or the car from physical damage. PPF also helps maintain the value of your car and in the long run can save money as you evade unnecessary auto body shop visits for knicks and scratches that can be outrageously costly to repair.
