What is PPF?

Paint Protection Film or PPF, is thermoplastic polyurethane material film that protects whatever it's been applied to from UV exposure, light scratches, rock chips, toxins, chemicals and other types of damage. Although it's not the only product, it is the best product for paint protection currently in the market.

What finishes is PPF film available in?

PPF or Paint Protection Film, aka 3M, Clear bra etc.. is most often available in clear gloss and satin finishes. Gloss is what most factory paint finishes on vehicles come in and is the most popular choice for those looking to preserver the factory finish. Matte/Satin finishes remove much of the gloss and add a sleek flat look. These are growing in popularity due to their uniqueness. The finish does not have an effect on the films longevity and effectiveness. At our Calgary PPF studio we offer both matte and gloss finishes. We also carry unique coloured lines of PPF which are new to the market.
