🚗 PPF Myths vs. Facts

Myth #1: “PPF makes your paint look dull.”
Fact" High-quality films like Llumar actually enhance gloss and depth, often making your paint look better than before installation.

Myth #2: “PPF is just like a ceramic coating.”
Fact: They’re completely different. PPF is a physical barrier that protects against rock chips, scratches, and road debris. Ceramic coating is a liquid layer that adds shine and makes cleaning easier — they work great together.

Myth #3: “You can’t see PPF.”
Fact: When installed correctly, it’s nearly invisible — but poor installs or cheap film can show seams, edges, or yellowing over time. Quality film and professional installation make all the difference.

Myth #4: “PPF is permanent.”
Fact: PPF is durable but not forever. It typically lasts 8–10 years depending on care, climate, and exposure, and can be safely removed or replaced when needed.

Myth #5: “PPF is only for new cars.”
Fact: While it’s ideal for new paint, any car can benefit from PPF — even used ones, as long as the surface is properly corrected before application.

Myth #6: “It’s too expensive to be worth it.”
Fact: PPF can save thousands by preventing paint damage, repainting costs, and preserving resale value — it’s an investment, not just a luxury.

Myth #7: “You don’t need to wash or maintain PPF.”
Fact: PPF still needs care! Regular washing and occasional top-coating help keep it looking clean and performing well for years.
