What is a PPF on a car?

PPF, or Pain Protection Film, is available from Paint protection film.


This thick, resistant film protects your bodywork from micro-scratches and minor impacts. So your bodywork stays as good as new for longer!


Most of the time, you'll find transparent PPF, so as not to impact the color of the paint or wrapping underneath. We also offer black PPF.


At Variance Autowe cut it by the linear meter. You can also request a complete kit or an individual kit, to protect specific parts of the bodywork.

How much does a PPF cost?

If you buy by the linear metre, you can find PPF from €17 per m²*(for door threshold PPF). Prices rise according to product quality and use. Our top-of-the-range PPF is Paint protection film 's Premium Matte finish film, from €81.99 per m²*.

5

Is it possible to put a PPF on a wrapping ?

You can apply PPF to your wrapping to protect it. However, if you wish to remove it later, it may damage your wrapping. The heat required to remove the PPF may also affect your wrapping.


That's why, to protect a wrapping car or motorcycle, we can make a ceramic protection.


Ideally, PPF should be applied to a painted body 😉

6

How do I remove a PPF?

You can remove your protective film whenever you like. It won't leave any traces. Just remember that once you remove it, you won't be able to use it afterwards.


To remove it, you'll need a soft microfiber cloth and a heat source (such as a heat gun or hair dryer).


Caution: This technique applies only to PPF applied to a painted body! If your bodywork is wrapping, the PPF cannot be easily removed without damaging the wrapping.
