Paint protection FAQs

Answers to common PPF questions

How long does paint protection film last?+

Most premium films last 7-10 years with proper care. SunTek and 3M films we install include long-term warranties against yellowing and cracking.

Does PPF protect against rock chips and scratches?+

Yes. PPF is designed to absorb impacts and self-heal light swirl marks from heat, which helps keep paint looking new.

Will PPF change the look of my paint?+

Gloss films are nearly invisible, while matte film converts your finish to a satin look. We help you choose the finish you want.

Can PPF be removed later?+

Yes. It can be removed safely from fully cured paint, making it ideal for lease returns or resale preparation.

What’s the difference between full front and full wrap?+

Full front covers high-impact panels like bumper, hood, and fenders. Full wrap protects the entire vehicle for maximum coverage.

How do I wash and maintain PPF?+

Wash as usual with pH-neutral soap. Avoid harsh chemicals and abrasive pads. We can recommend PPF-safe coatings.

Can I add ceramic coating on top of PPF?+

Yes. Ceramic coating over PPF improves gloss, hydrophobic performance, and cleaning ease.

Is PPF worth it in Barrie winters?+

Road salt and gravel are common in winter. PPF helps prevent chips, staining, and etching from harsh conditions.
