Frequently Asked Questions

PPF is a clear, self-healing polyurethane film applied to your vehicle's paintwork. It protects against stone chips, scratches, bird droppings and UV damage while remaining virtually invisible. We are accredited installers for SunTek and Profilm, two of the most trusted names in the industry.

PPF pricing depends on the coverage area and vehicle size. A partial front-end kit will cost less than a full body wrap. Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote tailored to your vehicle.

High-quality PPF from brands like SunTek and Profilm typically lasts 7 to 10 years with proper care. The film's self-healing properties help it maintain a smooth, clear appearance throughout its lifespan.

They serve different purposes. PPF provides physical protection against chips and scratches, while ceramic coating adds a hydrophobic layer for easier cleaning and enhanced gloss. Many of our customers choose both for complete protection.

Yes. Professional-grade PPF is designed to be removed cleanly without affecting the original paintwork underneath. When the film reaches the end of its life, we can remove it and apply a fresh layer if desired.

Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that bonds with your paint to create a long-lasting protective layer with a deep, glossy finish. It provides hydrophobic properties, UV resistance and chemical protection, making your vehicle much easier to keep clean. Learn more about our ceramic coating service.

Depending on the product used and how well the vehicle is maintained, a professional ceramic coating typically lasts 2 to 5 years. Regular washing with pH-neutral products and occasional maintenance top-ups will help maximise its lifespan.

Yes. Applying ceramic coating over PPF gives you the best of both worlds: physical chip protection from the film plus hydrophobic, self-cleaning properties from the ceramic layer. This is a popular combination among our customers who want the ultimate level of protection.
