Quality is at the heart of everything we do. Every project undergoes careful examination before it leaves our shop. If it's not perfect, it simply doesn't leave.

The Science Behind Superior Protection

We use SunTek® Paint Protection Film, a cutting-edge product that acts as an invisible shield for your car's paint. This innovative film guards against the everyday wear and tear that can diminish your car's appearance, from stone chips and scratches to bug splatters and bird droppings.

The self-healing technology ensures that minor imperfections vanish with a little warmth, keeping your car looking showroom-ready for years to come.

How does paint protection film work?

Paint protection film (PPF) is a thermoplastic urethane film that is applied to the painted surfaces of a vehicle. Think of it as an invisible second skin for your car's paintwork. It acts as a robust barrier against the hazards of the road, preventing damage from stone chips, scratches, bug splatters, bird droppings, and other environmental contaminants that can mar your car's pristine finish.

This film is incredibly tough and can handle a lot. Plus, it has self-healing properties, so minor scratches and swirl marks will disappear with a bit of heat from the sun or warm water. 

This means your car stays looking fresh as if it just came out of the showroom for years to come.

What products are used in paint protection for vehicles?

We only use the best. At Pro Vinyl Manchester, that means SunTek® Paint Protection Film. It's known for its durability, clarity, and self-healing properties. SunTek® offers a range of finishes like matte, gloss, and satin. So you can get the exact look you want.

Of course, the product is only half the story. Our expert team has years of experience applying PPF, ensuring a flawless finish every single time.

Is paint protection film worth it?

If you want the best protection for your car, then yes, PPF is worth it. It offers a multitude of benefits that extend far beyond simply preventing scratches.

PPF helps preserve your car's value. By keeping the paint in pristine condition, you're protecting your investment and ensuring a higher resale value down the line. Potential buyers will be impressed by the flawless finish, free from the blemishes and imperfections that come with everyday driving.

PPF can save you money in the long run. While the initial cost of PPF might seem like an expense, it's a preventative measure that can save you from costly repairs and repainting in the future. Think of it as an insurance policy for your car's paintwork.

PPF provides peace of mind. Knowing that your car is shielded from the daily onslaught of road debris, harsh weather conditions, and accidental scratches allows you to enjoy driving without constantly worrying about damaging your car's paint.

PPF can actually enhance your car's appearance. The film can add a deep gloss or a sleek matte finish, giving your car a showroom shine that turns heads wherever you go. It's a subtle yet noticeable upgrade that elevates your car's overall aesthetic.

Can you go through a car wash with paint protection film?

Absolutely! Once the PPF has healed, which typically takes around 48 hours after application, you can safely take your car through any car wash without worry. 

In fact, PPF makes washing your car easier, as dirt and grime don't stick to it as easily. This means less time and effort spent on cleaning and a cleaner car for longer.
