The first step in our PPF installation process at Ultimate Auto Care KY involves a thorough surface cleaning to remove loose dirt. Next, specialized detailing solutions, such as iron removers, are used to eliminate embedded contaminants. To ensure a smooth finish, we apply a clay bar treatment to your vehicle’s paint, leaving it ultra-smooth and ready for film application. Our team carefully inspects the surface afterward to confirm that no additional decontamination or paint correction is required.
Precision is key during the film trimming stage. We start by taking exact measurements of the areas where the PPF will be applied. While pre-designed kits may be available for certain vehicle models, we typically prefer to manually measure and cut the film to your vehicle’s unique specifications. This ensures a tailored fit, especially for intricate curves and edges. The film is carefully trimmed and shaped to wrap seamlessly around details like headlights and door handles for maximum coverage and a flawless finish.
During the application phase, we use a lubricating solution to help position the PPF accurately on the prepared surface. The adhesive backing of the film is then revealed, and the film is carefully aligned and applied. Using a squeegee, we smooth out the film to eliminate any trapped air or excess lubricant, ensuring a secure, bubble-free attachment that perfectly adheres to your vehicle’s contours.
Following the aid of a squeegee that ensures a smooth attachment of the film to the vehicle’s exterior, your PPF installation process then transitions into the curing stage. In this phase, the film establishes a robust connection with your vehicle’s paintwork and guarantees a resilient and enduring protective barrier over the top of your finish. This also allows it to be the effective self-healing quality product that our customers know and love!
Will PPF stop rock chips
PPF offers incredible protection against rock chips and other types of damage, making it an excellent choice for preserving your vehicle’s paint. However, it’s important to note that if a rock is large enough or traveling at a very high speed, it may still penetrate the film and cause damage.
PPF Paint Protection Film vs Ceramic Coating - What's BEST?
The Paint Protection Film (PPF) we provide is a durable 8-mil-thick layer applied to your vehicle’s paint, offering robust protection against rock chips, scratches, paint fading, bird droppings, and more. While PPF is a more costly option, it delivers unmatched durability and several benefits that go beyond those of ceramic coatings.
Ceramic coatings, on the other hand, are liquid-applied solutions that bond to your vehicle’s paint, creating a strong, hydrophobic layer. These coatings protect against UV rays, paint fading, bird droppings, and more, while also enhancing your vehicle’s gloss. Ceramic coatings are a cost-effective option that simplifies washing and maintenance, making them a popular choice for many drivers.
How long does it take to install PPF?
The time required for a PPF installation depends on the areas being covered. A front-end protection package typically takes a day or two, while a full-body PPF application can take several days to complete, depending on the size and complexity of the job.
How much does PPF cost?
The cost of Paint Protection Film (PPF) varies depending on several factors, including the areas you want to protect, the size and type of your vehicle, and the specific PPF package you choose. A smaller job, like a front-end protection package, will cost less than a full-body application. Each vehicle is unique, so we recommend contacting us for a personalized quote to ensure you get the right level of protection at a price that fits your needs.
