Maintaining Your Paint Protection Film

Paint Protection Film Offers a plethora of benefits and with proper maintenance and care you can get the most out of your investment. In this post we will go over some of the different steps to keep your paint protection clean and working for a long time



1. Regular Cleaning

Maintaining your PPF begins with regular cleaning. The good news is that PPF is easier to clean than your car's paint. You can use a mild automotive shampoo and a microfiber wash mitt to gently wash the film. Avoid abrasive scrubbers or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the film's protective layer.


2. Self-Healing Properties

One of the remarkable features of our PPF is its self-healing properties. Minor scratches and scuffs that occur during daily driving can be repaired with a bit of heat. Park your car in the sun or use a heat gun on a low setting, and watch as the film's self-healing capabilities make those imperfections disappear. This feature ensures that your PPF continues to look flawless over time.


3. Avoid Harsh Chemicals

When cleaning your PPF, avoid using harsh chemicals or solvents. These substances can break down the film's protective layer and reduce its effectiveness. Stick to products specifically designed for PPF or those recommended by your professional installer.


Now that we've covered how to maintain your PPF, let's explore the benefits it brings to your vehicle.


The Benefits of Paint Protection Film


When it comes to preserving your vehicle's appearance and value, paint protection film (PPF) offers a range of benefits:


1. Protection from Rock Chips and Scratches

Our PPF, available in various styles including gloss (clear), matte, color swap, and carbon fiber, boasts an impressive thickness of 8 millimeters. This thickness provides a robust shield against rock chips and minor scratches that can mar your car's finish. PPF takes the hits, so your vehicle's paint doesn't have to.


2. Self-Healing Properties

One standout feature of our PPF is its self-healing capabilities. Minor scratches and scuffs that occur during daily driving can be repaired with a bit of heat. The film's ability to heal itself ensures that your car's exterior remains free from imperfections, even after the occasional scrape.


3. Hydrophobic Properties

In addition to protection, our PPF offers convenience. Its hydrophobic properties allow water and contaminants to effortlessly slide off the film's surface. This makes washing your car a breeze and also provides resistance against stains from bird droppings, tree sap, and other environmental factors.


4. Preserve Resale Value

Investing in PPF is an investment in your vehicle's resale value. The film helps keep your car's exterior looking pristine, and potential buyers are likely to view a well-maintained PPF as a sign of a well-cared-for vehicle.


5. Nationwide 10-Year Limited Warranty

At Eclipse Automotive Protection, we stand behind the quality of our products. We offer a nationwide lifetime warranty on our paint protection films, providing you with peace of mind knowing that your investment is protected.


In conclusion, paint protection film is a wise investment for protecting your vehicle's exterior. Proper maintenance ensures that your PPF remains effective, while the benefits of PPF extend to safeguarding your car's appearance and its resale value.
