5 Reasons to Get Paint Protection Film for Your Vehicle

UV Rays 

UV radiation is a part of sunlight. It's responsible for fading the color on prints, upholstery, etc. It can also fade the paint on your car.

If your vehicle has paint protection film, this will happen at a slower rate. Paint protective film can repel at least some of the UV rays the sun sends to your car. 

Road Salt 

Road crews will often spread deicing salts on roads in the winter. This is necessary because it melts ice and makes cars less likely to slip on icy roads. However, deicing salts can also corrode the paint on your car. 

The best paint protection film will shield your car's paint job against road salts. The film will take the corrosion damage instead of the paint. 

Rocks and Debris 

Paint protection film can also take the damage that rocks and other road and air debris can deal to your car. Without it, these objects can fly up or down onto your paint and cause chips. Bigger pieces of debris can even cause dents. 

Reduced Maintenance Cost 

Yes, the initial paint protection film cost can be high. But it will cost you more over time to keep refreshing your car's paint. If you want your car to keep looking great, getting a film installation is the cheaper option overall. 

Maintain Car Value 

The longer cars are out on the road, the lower their resale value gets. You can't do anything to reduce your car's mileage. But you can keep it looking great through all those miles you drive. 

If you plan on reselling your car in the future, get a paint protection film. Potential buyers will be willing to pay more if your car still looks great.

Water Repellant 

Liquids like water and bird droppings can soak into your car's paint job. If you don't clean these liquids off quickly, they can cause stains. So if you have bare paint, you need to constantly clean liquids off your car.

Acid Protection 

Paint protection films are also chemical resistant. You should use a pH-neutral cleaning product when cleaning off your paint protective film. But you don't have to worry about an acidic cleaning product wearing away at your car's paint. 

Steps for Removing Protective Film 

Take a scrapper with a soft edge and chip away at the film. If it comes off in small pieces, get a heat gun and use it to help the film come off in larger chunks. Keep repeating this process until you've gotten all the plastic off. 

Once you take the plastic off, there may still be adhesive all over your car. To remove this, get some goo-gone and spray it on a cloth rag. Wipe your car down until all the adhesive is gone.
