Protect your Ford from scratches with PPF: the ultimate solution
PPF, the effective anti-scratch solution
Your Ford is a real jewel, and nothing is more frustrating than discovering a scratch caused by a wrench or a clumsy mistake. Good news: there's an effective solution to preserve your bodywork like new! Paint protection film film (or PPF) is your best ally in preventing these inconveniences. Find out in this article why and how to apply PPF, and how our videos can help you master the technique.
Why install a PPF on your Ford? 🛡️
Paint protection film Film ( PPF ) is a transparent barrier that protects your Ford's bodywork from scratches, chips and even light impacts. It acts like a second skin, invisibly applied to your vehicle, while preserving its shine. But why is it essential?
Imagine: your Ford is parked, and someone passes a little too close with keys in hand... The result? An unsightly scratch. With PPF, these incidents are a thing of the past. This ultra-resistant film absorbs impacts and keeps your paintwork intact. It's a real guarantee of your vehicle's longevity and beauty.
How to fit a PPF to your Ford: step-by-step guide 🛠️
Want to install a PPF on your Ford yourself? Follow these simple steps and turn yourself into an expert!
1. Preparing and cleaning your Ford 🧼
Preparing and cleaning your car is themost important step in PPF installation. And for good reason: rough cleaning will impair the durability of your film and complicate its installation. To avoid these problems
- Wash your bodywork: Useisopropyl alcohol to remove dirt, dust and residues. This solution will degrease and strip your bodywork. Apply the solution with a soft cloth, using circular movements;
- Inspect your bodywork: Make sure there is no dust or micro-scratches before starting to install the PPF ;
- Install a cutting wire on the surface where your PPF will be applied. This is installed at the edge and allows you to mark out the PPF location.
💡 Tip : We recommend leaving a 5-10 cm excess at the ends of the PPF to make removal easier.
For successful cleaning, use the right accessories

2. Place your PPF with precision 🎯
This is the second step! Just like preparing and cleaning your car, applying Paint protection film film must be done meticulously. Patience and thoroughness will be your best allies. Here are the steps to follow:
- Remove the protective film from your PPF. You'll see that there are two protective liners on your PPF. You need to keep the transparent film, as it serves to protect the PPF during the installation process, especially during marouflage;
💡 Tip : Place two pieces of scotch tape on either side of the protective film to help you remove it more easily.
- Moisten the surface: Spray the bodywork with a solution of soapy water to help position the PPF ;
- Apply the film: Gently and gradually peel off the PPF and apply it to the moistened area;
- Remove air bubbles: Squeegee from center to edges with a soft rubber squeegee to smooth the film and remove any soapy water or trapped air.
For a successful installation, make sure you have the right equipment

Congratulations! You've just fitted your PFF to your car. There's just one last step left: the finishing touches. To do this :
- Gently heat the edges so that the film adheres perfectly, using a hair dryer or heat gun;
- Trim the excess: trim the contours for a clean result with a new-blade cutter to avoid damaging the bodywork. Finally, remove the transparent protective liner;
- Inspect your work: Make sure there are no creases or remaining bubbles. If so, don't hesitate to use a bubble piercer.
And that's it! Your Ford is now protected from scratches and keeps its natural shine.
