How do I choose the right PPF film for my vehicle?

Choose a film from Paint protection film

A film from Paint protection film (PPF) is an excellent solution for protecting your bodywork from impacts and shocks. But what criteria should you take into account when choosing your PPF? We answer this question in this article.

Choosing a PPF film

Film from Paint protection film or PPF protects your car from scratches and minor impacts. As a result, your car's bodywork will remain intact, just as it was on the first day.

PPF films are usually transparent, but at Variance Autowe offer a wide choice of colors and finishes to suit your needs.

PPF film kit type

This is the first question to ask yourself when choosing your PPF film. Which type of kit is right for you. At Variance Auto, we offer three types of kit:

The complete film kit that covers your entire vehicle;
The front bumper film kit, which, as the name suggests, can only be applied to your bumper;
The front panel film kit covers your bumper and hood.

Once you've answered this question, you can move on to the second.

PPF film thickness

PPF film has many advantages, including :

Protection against scratches and bumps: thanks to the film, scratches and bumps are reduced;
Prevention against weather conditions by acting as a barrier against the elements. This ensures that your bodywork and paintwork remain intact;
Preserve the shine of your paintwork, which can be altered by UV rays and turn yellow.

There are several thicknesses of PPF film on the market, from the thinnest to the thickest. To fully benefit from the advantages mentioned above, we recommend you choose a thick PPF film. It will be more effective against shocks, impacts and UV rays.

The look of PPF film

Once again, there are many PPF film finishes to choose from. Depending on your tastes and desires, you can opt for :

Matte finish;
The glossy finish.

PPF film quality

Just like a wrapping or a tinted window kit, you can opt for low-end, mid-range or high-end PPF film.

Needless to say, a lower-end PPF film will adhere less to your surface and last less. In general, a PPF Variance Auto film has a durability of 7 years. This lifespan can be achieved with proper maintenance. It is not recommended to clean your vehicle with automatic rollers or abrasive solutions, but to use clear water and a soft sponge.

The best PPF film is the one that perfectly meets your needs and desires. At Variance Auto, we've chosen to offer you a wide range of PPF films to make your dreams come true.
