Paint Protection Film FAQ for California
What areas should I protect with PPF?
High-impact zones include the full front (bumper, hood, fenders, mirrors) which catches most road debris. Full vehicle coverage provides complete protection but costs significantly more.
Will PPF turn yellow over time?
Quality modern PPF from reputable brands (XPEL, 3M, SunTek) includes UV inhibitors that prevent yellowing. Lower-quality films may discolor over time.
How long does paint protection film last?
Premium PPF typically lasts 5-10 years depending on conditions and maintenance. Most manufacturers offer warranties of 5-10 years against yellowing, cracking, and peeling.
Can PPF be applied over ceramic coating?
It's generally better to apply PPF first, then ceramic coat over the film and exposed paint. This combination provides both physical and chemical protection.
Is PPF removal difficult or damaging?
Professionally removed PPF should not damage paint. The film is designed to release cleanly. DIY removal requires care and patience to avoid issues.
