Clear Bra FAQs
Does Paint Protection Film Damage Car Paint?
Paint Protection Film (PPF) is completely safe to use on all car paints and will neither damage it nor will it scratch your paint. This makes it a very popular option, often being chosen over the more expensive ceramic coating.
How Long Does Auto Paint Protection Film Last?
You can expect a high-quality PPF to last up to around 10 years when it is well cared for. It’s not as hard-wearing as a ceramic coating and, as such, won’t offer the same level of protection, so your PPF will require slightly more care and upkeep, but if you take good care of it, it will last you for a long time.
What Is 3M Auto Paint Protection Film?
