Car Paint Protection Film: Three Reasons to Make it a Wrap
You’ve just spent thousands on a vehicle that will not only get you or your family to and from work and activities, but looks pretty great too! Gazing longingly at its gleaming surface, you’re wishing it could stay this nice forever. Adding paint protection film to your car, while not making it bullet-proof, can definitely keep that gleam lasting longer. Here’s three reasons to consider putting it on your new vehicle.
1. Protect Your Investment
Purchasing a car is no small expense. By adding paint protection film to its exterior, you can enhance its value by maintaining that smooth finish. When you are ready to sell your car, having an unmarred paint surface will greatly increase its salability.
2. Avoid Rock Chips
The urethane film, first developed by 3M for use by the military, has an elastomeric polymer in its top layer that, when marred, can return to its original shape. This means that those annoying rocks that flip up when you’re following 18-wheelers won’t ruin your paint job, and even the film can look good as new. The paint protection film was first used on the leading edges of helicopter blades to prevent them from becoming damaged and failing in flight. The military has also used it on the noses of jet planes to protect them from debris. Now it can protect your car.
3. Protect from UV Rays and Chemicals.
One of the reasons you bought your car was that fantastic shade of red – not pink! Those UV rays from the golden sun can cause your paint to oxidize, dulling the beautiful paint job. Paint protection film can keep your car’s color true to the original, and protect it from exposure to acids from rain, bird droppings or tree sap.
After all the time, effort and money spent on your new car purchase, adding an extra layer of defense with paint protection film can bring peace of mind that you’re protecting your investment.
