Paint Protection Film in Melbourne

Paint Protection Film in Melbourne, otherwise known as PPF or clear bra, is a polyurethane film that was originally developed for the military to protect helicopter rotor blades and other sensitive parts from the harsh desert sand. The film was applied to the leading edge of the rotors to prevent pitting and damage over time. The film was designed to be hard wearing and easily replaced as required. Just like many other military products, PPF moved through the industrial sector and has now become very popular in the Automotive industry.

Since the days of the “helicopter tape” (as it was once known) Paint Protection Film has gone through advanced research and development to become the sleek, optically clear, invisible protective barrier that we see today.

Why Do I Need it?

Paint Protection Film is an incredibly durable, clear urethane film that helps preserve your vehicle’s finish by protecting vulnerable painted surfaces from ‘wear and tear’ caused by common road hazards such as rocks, sand, bug acids, bird droppings, roadway debris and other environmental elements. Paint Protection Film is made of a 6 mil (.006”) thick clear urethane plastic (8 mil when you count the adhesive), which makes it extremely hard for objects to penetrate.

The film we use to protect your vehicle not only looks fantastic with a gloss that will give your vehicle an amazing depth and shine, but it will keep your vehicle’s ORIGINAL paint looking immaculate year after year.

The Self-Healing benefits of the products we use keep the surface of the film always looking new. To remove any swirl marks, scuffs and minor abrasions, you simply pour some hot water from the tap over the affected area, and the marks will disappear before your very eyes. Most importantly, the Paint Protection Film in Melbourne is protecting the vehicle’s original factory paint. No matter how good the panel shop is that you take your vehicle to, they will never be able to 100% replicate the paint on your affected panel.

Cost Effective

If a panel becomes chipped or scratched, a traditional approach would be to send it to a panel shop where they will need to colour match the paint and blend the colour into another panel. This can become very expensive and time consuming, and sometimes means that you will be without your vehicle for weeks at a time. The advantage of having a replaceable film is that each panel is easily replaced, and is usually completed in a matter of hours.

The front of your vehicle’s painted surface is without question the most vulnerable section for stone chips and acid burns from bug spatter. Even the smallest environmental debris, including sand and dust, can destroy your vehicle’s paint and headlights. Paint Protection Film in Melbourne can almost eliminate these problems.

Ceramic Paint Protection in Melbourne

Ceramic paint protection is a chemical paint sealant that is undeniably the world’s most advanced due to its unique formulas, durability and extremely low maintenance. Your car will look and feel different.

Ceramic Glass Coatings

This is the name given to glass like sealants and are used to improve the shine and harden a painted surface. The name is derived from the use of silica, a component used in the manufacture of ceramic and glass products. In nature silica is most commonly found as quartz (SiO2) and in its purest state has a mineral hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale (1-10). A diamond measured on the same scale is 10. The perception of ceramics is that they are opaque and white in colour, but this is not always the case as ceramics exist in a variety of compositions and colours with a wide range of molecular structures.

Ceramic coatings are a spin off from the technology N.A.S.A. devised from the ceramic-based paints used on space shuttles for their heat insulation and anti-corrosion properties. Ceramic technology made its way into the automotive care market where they offer a much higher level of protection from various elements. Unlike carnauba waxes, ceramic coatings are inorganic. As such they can be manufactured to be resistant to far higher temperatures than carnauba.

Most modern ceramic coatings are typically based on nano-technology. Nano-technology based ceramic coatings offer protection against high levels of pH, extremes of temperature and physical contact from washing and cleaning. Ceramic coatings offer automotive surfaces protection from acid rain, freezing rain, harsh wash chemicals, direct sunlight and even from light swirls (usually caused by poor washing techniques). They form strong chemical bonds with substrates at the atomic level so these coatings cannot be removed using paint cleaners or pressure washers; that is, they will not wash away. Ceramic coatings are extremely durable, optically clear, and provide a high level of shine, particularly effective on metallic paintwork where the metal flake ‘pops’ brilliantly. Their use is not limited to paintwork: ceramic coatings are also available for glass, where their hydrophobic properties are of particular benefit; plastics, where their resistance to UV is beneficial, and also on alloy wheels, where their slick nature and resilience to heat help repel damaging brake dust particles.

The preparation to the painted surface requires the paintwork to be in perfect condition prior to application. Any scratches and swirls in the paintwork need to be removed because once the coating has cured, these imperfections are sealed beneath the ceramic coating. All surfaces to be coated also need to be properly decontaminated and cleansed, ensuring they are completely free from any residues that may interfere with the chemical bonding process. The cleaner the substrate, the higher the number of chemical bonds the sealant can form. Temperature, humidity and environment all have to be controlled in order for the sealants to provide their maximum protection. Once applied, the ceramic sealants we use are guaranteed by the manufacturer for between two to nine years. You will never need to wax again, and you will have a lasting shine. Your car will also be protected from harmful elements, such as UV, acid rain and environmental factors.
