11 COMMON PAINT PROTECTION FILM FAQS
1. How long does it take for paint protection film to cure?
The protective layer often requires several days, typically a minimum of 48 hours, to fully adhere and set. It's recommended to allow the paint protection film a full week to cure post-installation. Any bubbles observed during this period should vanish once the setting phase concludes.
2. Does PPF get scratches?
With heat-activated self-healing properties, our PPF keeps your car's paint glossy while offering impact-absorbing protection against rock chips—note, it's not invincible to bullets.
3. What are the cons of PPF coating?
Paint protection film is designed to shield your car from usual culprits like scratches and rock chips, but it's not a cure-all. Heavy impacts, deliberate vandalism, or deep gouges can still result in paint damage, even when PPF is applied.
4. Will air bubbles go away on paint protection film
During the initial stages of paint protection film installation, it's normal to encounter bubbles, lifting lines, and trapped moisture. These lifting lines often appear when a section needs to be readjusted to eliminate dirt or air bubbles. Typically, these air bubbles dissipate over time — how long this takes can depend on local climate conditions and heat exposure.
5. Can you wax over paint protection film?
Is waxing possible on a car with paint protection film? Yes, you can certainly wax a vehicle that has been treated with PPF. However, it's worth noting that the need for waxing is significantly reduced when you have paint protection film on your car. In fact, it's generally not recommended to wax over a PPF surface.
