It is the question we get asked most: should I wrap my car or put paint protection film on it? They look similar on the surface, both are films applied over your paint, but they exist for different reasons.
PPF is armour
Paint protection film is a thick, optically clear urethane that takes the hits so your paint does not. Stone chips, scratches, bug acid and UV all stop at the film. Quality PPF even self-heals: light swirls disappear with a bit of sun or warm water.
You can cover the high-impact front end only, or do the whole car. We wrapped this G-Wagon nose to tail and you would never know the film is there, which is exactly the point.
A wrap is a new identity
Vinyl wrap is thinner and comes in hundreds of colours and finishes: satin, matte, gloss, chrome, colour-shift. It is the fastest way to completely change how your car looks without touching the paint. It offers light protection too, just not at PPF's level.
Or have both at once
Coloured PPF is the best of both worlds: pick a satin or colour finish that IS the protective film. One layer, new look, full armour. Our satin stealth conversions on the Jaguar F-Pace, Toyota Tundra and a pair of Defenders were all done exactly this way.
Rule of thumb: protecting a new car you love the colour of? PPF. Chasing a new look on a budget? Wrap. Want both and plan to keep the car? Coloured PPF. Still unsure? Call us on 0404 438 349 and describe your car, we will point you the right way in two minutes.
