Paint Protection Film (PPF)
What is Paint Protection Film (PPF)?
Paint Protection Film, also known as Clear Bra, is a sacrificial layer that protects your vehicle’s paint from rock chips, scratches, and UV damage. PPF is a durable shield that has self healing aspects and absorbs impact.
Advantages to PPF
Having PPF installed on your vehicle will give you peace of mind that the beautiful paint will be preserved in pristine condition for years to come. Preserving your paint with PPF can turn out to be less expensive in the long run as it helps lower the chances of needing paint corrections, scratch removal, and even repainting the vehicle in the future. PPF can also help maintain or even increase the resale value of your vehicle.

Warranty
With proper maintenance, labor and film is warrantied for 10 years. The warranty may cover defects in materials, but does not cover regular wear and tear or damage from accidents or improper maintenance. This warranty is transferable as long as the new owner has a consultation with us at Superior Dent Repair.
When installing the film, we use a specific solution to minimize contamination between the film and the vehicle.
At Superior Dent Repair, we wrap edges of panels in film where possible to provide a seamless appearance and ultimate protection.
