Your fresh new paint job or car wrap looks great – and you hope that it will that way over the years. A perfect way to keep your car in mint condition, looking like when you bought it, is by applying a Paint Protection Film (or PPF) here at Wrap District!
With this high-quality film, you will protect your car paint from all any damage, like bugs, debris, rock chips, or scraping from other objects. The film, also known as a “clear bra”, is virtually invisible! It is made of urethane, a perfect and cost-effective option in protecting your car and making it look fresh at the same time.
Why Use Paint Protection Film?
Paint protection film (PPF) can prove to be one of the best investments you make for your car. Nobody wants a scratched up or stained paint job, which is why we provide paint protection films so that you can rest easy knowing your car is safe from damages. Our high quality materials ensure that the colour remains consistent while the film is applied, unlike other PPF’s that end up fading.
Another benefit of our paint protection films is that they are easy to remove at any time. In addition, they reduce the touch-up and repair costs needed to fix paint damage caused by rocks, UV rays exposure, salt in winter, or harsh weather conditions. It is a great way to protect the car for those who spend a lot of time on highways and country roads!
Instead of spending a ridiculous amount of money on body repairs and paint touchups, you can invest once into Paint Protection Film coating. And it will do the hard work for you, and save all the time that you will have to send your car to a repair shop.
Without a properly applied PPF, damage to the paint can have a negative impact on the resale value of your car, or simply let the rust develop over time.

FAQs
Does PPF really works?
When properly installed, paint protection film will protect you car from small rocks, stone chips and dust, so in the long run no scratches fixes would be required. Quality PPF materials also protect the car from UV and weather conditions, keeping the paint and color of the car as new for many years.
Does PPF have any disadvantages?
Only if you take your car into a cheap detailing studio, or its your first DIY project to install the PPF, and you make mistakes due to lack of experience. Two problems that may arise during unsuccessful installation:
- All car panels have to taken apart for the seamless PPF application, as well as roof rails, grilles, trims, and in some cases headlights and bumpers too. Clips get damaged during these actions parts might lose their initial factory shapes.
- Due to climate factors like sun or cold weather, and if not properly installed, protective film might develop defects in the future, such as shrinking, air bubbles or even tiers. To replace it might cost almost the same as conducting initial installation.
It is very important to conduct the original PPF installation in the best possible way, so consider choosing your installer based on industry expertise and previous reputation.
How much paint protection costs?
PPF installation can cost anywhere from $1000 to $6,000, depending on car size, materials brand and project complexity. Average full body PPF package in the Greater Toronto Area would typically be rated between $2500 to $5000.
Average lifespan of car paint protection film
How long will PPF coating last? Professionally installed and properly maintained protective film should last at least 7 years, which is also the average time you will drive one car, according to Canadian statistics. During this time your car will stay clean and shiny, which will make it's resale value higher by about the same amount spent on the PPF installation.
Can you go through a car wash with paint protection film?
In general the answer is yes, but only after 48 hours after the installation. Its also recommended to take your car to the detailing shop to check the installation after one week, since they can identify small issues popping out and fixed them on the spot.
But if you want to have your PPF layer to be properly maintained and last for 7 years and longer, it is recommended to avoid general car washes and wash your car manually, with a special soap and dedicated mitten designed for PPF wash.
Do you wax over PPF?
Paint protection film can be waxed, but when waxing over it, make sure that the used wax doesn't contain kerosene or naphtha in concentration of over 5%.
