How does PPF work?
Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a protective barrier for car’s original paint. It shields the vehicle’s exterior from road debris, minor scruffs and harmful UV-rays. The most advanced PPF, like those from TERMINAX, is based on TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) material. Its self-healing properties allow minor scratches to disappear with heat, while its UV resistance protects against fading and oxidation.
How long does PPF last?
The lifespan of PPF depends on several factors, such as climate, maintenance, and driving environments. Generally a standard Paint Protection Film (PPF) can last from 5 to 10 years. Premium PPF products from TERMINAX offer a 12-year warranty, ensuring a hassle-free protection for your car.
Can I wash my car after installing PPF?
Yes, you can wash your car after installing PPF. But before go washing, remember to wait at least 24-48 hours. This ensures the film to fully adheres and cures to the paint. When it comes to regular washing after that, we suggest to always use a PH-balanced car soap and a soft cloth. Do not use high-pressure washers or abrasive cleaning methods to maintain its longevity.
Is PPF easy to remove?
Yes, PPF can be easily and safely removed if done properly.
To ensure no residue is left behind, you can use a heat gun. This is typically helpful to keep the paint in its original condition. Anyway, if the PPF is peeling, blistering, or if you have any doubts, go for professionals for assistance.
Can PPF be applied to any part of the car?
Yes, you can apply PPF to any part of your car, including the hood, fenders, bumpers, side mirrors, and headlights. You can choose partial installation, or custom kits for full car wrapping. It’s up to you, depending on your specific needs.
Is PPF resistant to yellowing?
No, not all PPF products are resistant to yellowing. Lower-quality PPF may turn yellow over time because of various factors like UV exposure and environmental pollutants. However, when it comes to premium PPF products, like those from TERMINAX made with advanced TPU material, you don’t need to worry, simply because TPU is specifically designed to resist yellowing.
