In today's society, a car is a household necessity. There is an increasing willingness to give protection to cars, whether out of a collector's mentality or out of love and care. However, PPF, the most effective paint protection for cars today, has been met with some unrealistic questions and the UPPF would like to use this article to make you understand the true effectiveness of PPF.
1. UV EXPOSURE WILL TURN PPF YELLOW
In the early days of protective films, this myth held water. Outdated PVC-based films can suffer from discoloration, peeling, and cracking. However, today’s thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) based clear coats can withstand constant UV exposure, never yellowing or peeling. In fact, UPPF’s paint protection film is backed by a 10-year warranty.
2. PPF DAMAGES THE PAINT
This statement is far from the truth. The reason why vehicle owners use PPF in the first place is to protect their paintwork from scuffs, scratches and other types of damage. The self-repairing properties of PPF allow some scratches to 'heal' before your eyes. Paint Protection Film will not damage your vehicle, even under the wrong circumstances. It can easily be peeled off at the end of its useful life.
It is important never to remove PPF from your car yourself. if done incorrectly, PPF can leave a glue residue that can damage your car's paintwork. Always have the paint protection film removed by a professional.
3. PPF CAN’T BE WAXED
Many vehicle owners believe that once PPF is fitted, they cannot wax their vehicle, making it difficult to maintain PPF, but the truth is that PPF does not need to be waxed. Even though waxing is possible on vehicles with PPF fitted, it is not recommended as it is important to avoid wax build up on the edges. Instead, if you are looking for an alternative, you can use a spray wax or detailing spray.
4. PPF REDUCES A CAR’S VALUE
Like we just mentioned, PPF will actually protect your vehicle’s paint from damage and boost its resale value. Who wants to buy a car that has scratched paint?
5. All PPFs ARE THE SAME
You may have heard that all paint protection films are the same, so you can just buy the cheapest one available. In fact, there are many low quality films on the market that do not protect your vehicle effectively.
High quality PPF is like an invisible layer of armour that protects your car from road debris, bird droppings, UV rays and more. It is a worthwhile investment to protect the value and integrity of your vehicle.
All in all, the patented technology developed by UPPF, together with the original advantages of PPF itself, will keep your paintwork in the best possible state of good paste with simple and easy maintenance input, without the need to worry about anything else.
