Paint Protection Film.

A thick, clear polyurethane film applied directly to your paint — physical protection against stone chips and road debris, with self-healing properties for minor scratches.

What is PPF?

Physical armour for your paint.

PPF is a thick, clear polyurethane film bonded directly to your paint. It absorbs impacts from stone chips and road debris that ceramic coating alone can't stop. Modern film is self-healing — light scratches disappear with heat exposure — and stays optically clear without changing how your paint looks.

Most customers combine PPF with ceramic coating: the film handles impact protection, the coating adds hydrophobic properties and easier cleaning on top.

Quality film shouldn't yellow under normal use — that was more of an issue with older-generation film. It can still happen with a poor-quality product or without proper care, which is part of why the film and the installer matter.

No film is indestructible — a hard enough impact can still mark it. What it does is absorb the vast majority of everyday stone chips and road debris that would otherwise hit bare paint, and self-heal light scratches with heat.

Different jobs. PPF is a physical film that absorbs impacts; ceramic coating is a chemical layer for gloss and easier cleaning. Plenty of our customers run both together.

Quality film is typically rated 7–10 years, though real-world lifespan depends on care and Canberra's UV and gravel-road exposure. It's not a lifetime product, but it's built to outlast most ownership periods.
