PAINT PROTECTION FILM

PPF or Paint Protection Film is a polyurethane (plastic) film that is transparent (clear), tough and flexible.

Once applied, Paint Protection Film will protect your car against stone chips, scuffs, scratches, birdlime and harsh weather.

First, we’ll carry out a maintenance wash followed by a clay bar decontamination, then a one stage polish (for front end and full coverage packages only) finishing off with panel surface preparation.

Then we apply the Film using a specially formulated gel solution – we use a range of squeegees to ensure that there are no creases or bubbles after application and that no corners or edges of PPF are visible.

XPEL ULTIMATE carries a 10 year warranty against, yellowing, cracking, peeling, staining, and hazing, and reimburses both film and labor in the unlikely event of a failure. This warranty is backed by a worldwide network of certified installers, so if you move away from us in 8 years and develop an issue with the film, your local authorised installer will be able to take care of any warranty issues for you.

No. We have invested in one of the latest plotter machines which cuts out specially designed panel shapes meaning they can be directly applied, so there’s no need to cut on the car!

Don’t worry! We use SunTek and XPEL Ultimate Paint Protection film which is self healing. This means the polymer that the film is made up of has a memory – simply apply heat to the scratched area using a hair dryer, heat gun or hot water. This will stimulate the memory of the polymer, causing it to return to its original position, making those annoying scratches disappear.

Yes. Our Paint Protection Film allows the Sun’s UV rays to fade the paintwork of the car at the same rate as unprotected panels.

No. The car can be washed and waxed as regular.

The time that the bodyshop (you used) recommend you to wait to wax the paint of your car should be the same time you will need to wait to have PPF applied.

Yes. Gtechniq and other ceramic coatings can be applied – the properties and memory of the Film won’t be affected.

Yes. Very easily in-fact and does not leave any marks or residue.

PPF is designed for protecting your car against stone chips, scuffs, scratches, birdlime and harsh weather, where as vinyl is designed to change the aesthetics of you car.

Vinly can also protect the paintwork of you car, but not to the same extent as PPF will.

Yes, Courtesy Cars are available when you have your car PPF’d at GVE. We have a range of vehicles to suit your needs.

We use a state of the art plotter to cut specialised designed patterns. These patterns are then applied to your car without having to remove parts.

However, if you want a seamless finish, our skilled technicians will remove panels in order to apply the Film, allowing us to wrap around the edges of the panels to reduce the visibility of the film as much as possible.
