What is Paint Protection Film and is it Worth it?

Everyday life can very quickly take a toll on your pristine paintwork. A single stone can chip the surface, sunlight can fade that rich colour to a shadow of its former self, and continual daily use and exposure to pollutants can dull your bodywork. One of the most important factors when selling your car in the UAE is the condition of the bodywork. So how do you protect it? The answer may be Paint Protection Film or PPF.

What is PPF?

PPF is a polymer or polyurethane film that is wrapped over a vehicle’s body panels. This layer prevents the surface of your Lexus from being exposed to the risk of scratches, chips and the effects of UV light. It is a highly effective method of keeping your vehicle in top condition and can help considerably to maintain its resale value too.

PPF can also protect your car against more unexpected potential hazards, such as the sap from trees or bird droppings. While it may not provide sufficient defence against more serious impacts, scuffs or dents, PPF does fend off those everyday hazards that cumulatively could result in a dull, tired-looking exterior.

Is it worth it?

If you want to protect the surface of your vehicle from minor wear and tear, then Paint Protection Film is worth the investment. It’s a relatively affordable process and can be done quickly and easily by your Al-Futtaim Lexus specialist team.

You do, however, have to consider how much you use your vehicle, where it’s kept, and what your average mileage is. If you use your vehicle every day for commuting, go on long journeys, or often go off-road then a PPF will give you that protection you need to keep your vehicle looking its best.

However, if you’re a low-mileage user and keep your car garaged or have it regularly valeted and polished then there may be less need for a protective film coat. But overall, the average car user would see the benefits from a PPF, particularly when it comes to selling your car in the UAE.
