Motec Paint Protection Film(PPF)

With the continuous upgrading of automobile production technology, the service life of cars has been increasing year by year. As cars are driven for longer periods of time, the body of the car is riddled with holes. Faced with a car with good performance but unrecognizable paint, do you also feel powerless?

Please avoid these 8 ways of damaging car paint!

01. High temperature and ultraviolet oxidation

The ultraviolet rays in sunlight are the main culprit causing oxidation of car coatings. Under the irradiation of ultraviolet rays, the paint surface of the car gradually forms an oxide film, which becomes increasingly dark and dull, with reduced brightness and color depth by several degrees. After direct sunlight exposure, excessive loss of oil on the paint surface can lead to cracking of the car paint.



02. Bird droppings/insect carcasses/gum

Don't be fooled by their small size, but these things are highly acidic! Long term retention on the surface of car paint can cause corrosion to the paint, which is penetrative and irreparable, and can make the paint uneven!



03. Acid rain

Acid rain contains acidic substances and has strong corrosiveness. When acid rain causes minor damage, the car paint will change color (white paint turns yellow, dark paint turns grayish brown).



In severe cases, it may leave spots and potholes on the surface of the car paint, or cause the paint to peel or peel off. Therefore, it is necessary to wash the car or rinse it with clean water after rain, otherwise it will corrode the car paint for a long time.

04. Asphalt

When a car is driving on a high-temperature/newly repaired asphalt road, the high-speed rotation of the tires will carry up the asphalt. The asphalt left on the surface of the vehicle will corrode the paint and has permeability!



05. Traffic film

Some friends may not know what traffic film is, but traffic film is very common, which is a strong electrostatic layer generated by friction during the driving process of a car. Static electricity can adsorb dust, dirt, oil stains, etc. in the air, and over time, it will form a hard traffic film, which can easily cause oxidation and corrosion of the paint surface.

06. Iron powder

Brake pad friction, rail friction, and industrial zone production and construction all produce iron powder that walks in the air. During vehicle operation, due to sunlight exposure and the heat emitted by the engine, the thermal properties of the car paint become softer, and the iron powder attached to the surface will be fused in. If iron powder has already caused damage to the car paint, only by grinding and polishing to remove the oxide layer, the potholes cannot be removed.

07. Improper care

Improper care can easily lead to sunspots. Sun lines refer to intricate and small scratches that, under the illumination of sunlight, present a halo of light to the eye.

There are many reasons for the formation of sun patterns, such as improper car washing methods, friction with dust during high-speed driving, and wiping with wax brushes containing fine particles.



08. Scratching and rubbing

Don't think that just because you're an experienced driver, there won't be any scratches or dents. Flying sand, rocks, and fallen branches and leaves on highways can cause irreparable damage to car paint. Moreover, even if there are no major accidents, there will still be minor scratches.

So, how to effectively protect car paint?

After installing the Motec Paint Protection Film(PPF), the car's paint surface can be isolated from the air. Resistant to acid rain, oxidation, and scratches, providing long-lasting protection for our original car paint from damage; It can effectively prevent UV damage to car paint, delay paint aging, maintain bright colors and long-lasting luster of the car. Preferred aliphatic TPU substrate, more resistant to yellowing, brighter, and more glossy! Perfectly fitting the body lines, enhancing the overall texture of the car.
