Motec Paint Protection Film(PPF)
Recently, a friend whom I haven't been in touch with for many years suddenly approached me. Initially, I thought he was either promoting or borrowing money, but unexpectedly, the other party sent me three consecutive questions:
·How to choose a paint protection film for a new car?
·Is it better to buy it in store and stick it directly, or to buy it online and find someone to stick it?
·What's good about expensive film? Is it necessary to stick it?
Seeing these few questions, the editor immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Don't you think it touches my heart!
In fact, many friends want to provide comprehensive insurance for their cars after buying them, such as buying car insurance and applying a paint protection film.
But the water in the car film industry is too deep, and if you don't understand it, it's easy to get ripped off. Even if not pasted properly, it may damage the original paint of the car. This has led to many friends wanting to apply a film on their car, but they are afraid to do so.
So today, the editor will talk to you about whether or not to apply paint protection film after buying a car?
The answer is: to paste!
The function of car paint is first and foremost to prevent rust and corrosion on the metal surface, ensuring the integrity and durability of the entire vehicle surface. Of course, more importantly, it makes the whole car shine brightly. But the car paint itself is very soft and fragile. If not protected, it will soon become dull and lose its color, just like billboards that are frequently exposed.
Especially when cars are frequently driven outdoors, they are inevitably exposed to sunlight, dust and gravel, and even acid rain erosion. After long-term use, the entire vehicle will become dull and lifeless.
At this point, the importance of paint protection film is reflected, just like mobile phone film, which can protect the paint of the vehicle itself and prevent oxidation.
1】 How to choose a paint protection film for a new car?
Nowadays, car films on the market are generally divided into three categories: white film, OEM film, and brand film.
White wrap is usually cheaper, but at the same time, the quality may be relatively poor, making it a low-cost invisible car wrap. The white envelope has no warranty.
Labeling film refers to registering a trademark and then selling it under a label. Whether this type of car clothing is pasted well or poorly depends purely on luck.
That brand film belongs to a relatively reliable car film. There are many brand films on the market now, and this type of car wrap is relatively more reliable and comes with official warranty.
How should I choose a paint protection film?
1. Preferred TPU material (aliphatic TPU>aromatic TPU)
2. High transparency and strong luster
3. Has good flexibility (easy to construct, not easy to break, can ensure that the car cover can closely fit the body curve, providing comprehensive protection)
4. Brand is more secure!
5. Scratch repair capability
2】 Is it better to buy it in store and stick it directly, or to buy it online and find someone to stick it?
Car film is actually the same as phone film. If you think the price online is really much cheaper, you can also choose to buy the film online and then go to a car beauty salon to apply it. This only requires a construction fee. However, there is a disadvantage that if there is any warranty problem, you can only find the merchant online to solve it, which is relatively troublesome. If you apply the film directly at a beauty salon, you can see the physical store and warranty, which will be more secure.However, now many brands have opened official websites online, making purchases more reassuring!
3】 What's good about expensive film? Is it necessary to stick it?
The prices of films on the market vary, ranging from hundreds to thousands. So what are the differences between these films? How should I choose?
Actually, it mainly depends on individual needs. Generally, the cheaper the film, the more likely it is to damage the original paint of the car, and the quality is not guaranteed. This type of paint protection film generally does not have much brand support and is not recommended to be applied! And films with higher prices are generally supported by brands, and their quality is also more guaranteed.
Is it necessary to stick it?
First of all, we need to understand one point: the scratch resistance of the paint protection film is actually only for minor accidents.
such as
·Very slight scratches, the car paint is intact, and the scratches on the car clothes can be self repaired after heating.
·In a heavier case, the car paint is still intact, and the car clothes cannot be repaired but can be partially reapplied.
·When a depression is formed, it can be repaired without the need for sheet metal spraying.
But in daily life, applying paint protection film can indeed prevent many accidents where the car paint is damaged.
In addition, some residential areas only have open-air parking spaces, and the car paint is easily corroded by bird droppings and tree resin. Ultraviolet radiation also accelerates the aging of the car paint. However, with car wrap, these problems are easily solved! And for some car paints that are not resistant to dirt, even if they are not washed in time after applying the film, they always look shiny.
Paint protection film is definitely not an 'intelligence tax'!
Motec Paint Protection Film(PPF) is made of aliphatic TPU material, which has excellent elasticity, weather resistance, wear resistance, chemical corrosion resistance, and yellowing resistance, effectively protecting the car paint from external damage.
