Question 1

How long does PPF last?

Accepted Answer

Quality PPF typically lasts 7-10 years with proper care and maintenance, often longer with our premium films.

Question 2

Will PPF damage my paint?

Accepted Answer

No, PPF is designed to protect your paint and can be safely removed without damaging the original finish when done professionally.

Question 3

Can PPF be applied to any vehicle?

Accepted Answer

Yes, PPF can be applied to any vehicle make or model, new or used. We custom-cut film for your specific vehicle.

Question 4

How long does PPF installation take?

Accepted Answer

Full front coverage typically takes 1-2 days depending on the vehicle and coverage area. Full-body installations take 3-5 days.

Question 5

Does PPF require special maintenance?

Accepted Answer

PPF requires minimal maintenance. Regular washing and occasional waxing will keep it looking great. Avoid automatic car washes with harsh brushes during the first week.

Question 6

How much does PPF installation cost?

Accepted Answer

PPF costs vary by coverage. Front-end packages start around $1,500-$2,000, track packages $2,500-$3,500, and full-body coverage $5,000-$8,000+ depending on vehicle size. We provide detailed quotes during consultation.

Question 7

Does paint protection film really self-heal?

Accepted Answer

Yes! PPF features self-healing top coat technology. Minor scratches and swirl marks disappear with heat from the sun or warm water. This keeps your vehicle looking pristine despite harsh Canadian roads and winter salt.

Question 8

Can PPF be removed without damaging paint?

Accepted Answer

Yes, professional removal leaves no residue or damage when done correctly. We recommend professional removal after 10+ years. The film protects paint so well that your paint looks brand new underneath.

Question 9

Should I get PPF or ceramic coating?

Accepted Answer

PPF provides superior physical protection against rock chips, scratches, and road debris. Ceramic coating protects against contamination and makes cleaning easier. For best protection, we recommend PPF on high-impact areas with ceramic coating over the entire vehicle.

Question 10

What's the difference between PPF and vinyl wrap?

Accepted Answer

PPF is designed for protection with self-healing properties and optical clarity. Vinyl wrap is primarily for appearance changes and color customization. PPF is significantly thicker (8-10 mils) and more durable than vinyl wrap.

Question 11

Can I wax or polish over PPF?

Accepted Answer

Yes! You can safely wax and polish PPF just like regular paint. Use non-abrasive products and soft applicators. Regular maintenance keeps the film looking glossy and new.

Question 12

Will PPF yellow or discolor over time?

Accepted Answer

Our premium Suntek and 3M films are guaranteed not to yellow for 10 years. Older technology films would yellow, but modern PPF includes UV inhibitors that prevent discoloration.

Question 13

Can PPF be applied to matte paint?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We offer matte PPF specifically designed for matte finishes. It maintains the original matte appearance while providing the same protection as gloss PPF.

Question 14

How does PPF protect against rock chips?

Accepted Answer

PPF is 8-10 mils thick with high elasticity. When rock chips hit the film, it absorbs the impact and prevents the stone from reaching your paint. The self-healing technology then repairs minor surface scratches automatically.

Question 15

Should I get PPF before or after ceramic coating?

Accepted Answer

Always install PPF first, then apply ceramic coating over it. This provides maximum protection: PPF handles physical damage while ceramic coating adds chemical resistance and hydrophobic properties.

Question 16

Can you install PPF on a used vehicle?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but we recommend paint correction first to fix existing chips and scratches. PPF seals in the condition of your paint underneath, so starting with perfect paint gives the best results.

Question 17

What areas should I protect with PPF at minimum?

Accepted Answer

At minimum, we recommend front bumper, hood, and fenders. These areas take the most abuse from road debris. Mirrors, door edges, and door cups are also popular for preventing door ding damage.

Question 18

Does PPF affect vehicle resale value?

Accepted Answer

Yes, positively! PPF preserves your paint in pristine condition, significantly increasing resale value. Many luxury car buyers specifically look for PPF-protected vehicles because it indicates the owner took excellent care of the car.

Question 19

Can PPF be repaired if it gets damaged?

Accepted Answer

Minor scratches self-heal with heat. Deeper damage requires panel replacement. Because we use pre-cut templates, we can replace individual panels without redoing the entire installation, keeping repair costs manageable.

Question 20

Is PPF worth it for a daily driver?

Accepted Answer

Daily drivers face the most road hazards: gravel, salt, tar, bug splatter, and door dings. PPF protection pays for itself by preserving your paint and maintaining resale value, especially important in Toronto's harsh winter conditions.
