Car Protection Films (PPF) are not just a luxury — they are a long-term investment and a protective shield that helps maintain your car’s appearance and reduce frequent maintenance costs. In this guide from Hamam Company, you will learn why PPF is essential, the difference between original and imitation films, and the most important tips to ensure maximum protection for your car.
Why Does Your Car Need Car Protection Films (PPF)?
Car protection films (PPF) are of great importance in enhancing the car’s appearance and preserving it, and this is due to the following reasons:
External Protection from Damage
The protection film preserves the car from the outside, as it resists any scratches or damage it is exposed to, in addition to enhancing the appearance and preventing paint corrosion.
Resistance to Harmful Factors
The film helps resist harmful factors, whether sun rays, ultraviolet rays, infrared, or others, which extends the expected life of the paint and preserves the car.
Preserving the Car’s Value
The more the car is free from any defects or scratches, the more its value increases over time, so when thinking about selling it, you receive better prices.
Reducing Maintenance Costs
Protecting the car and preserving it reduces the need to pay recurring maintenance costs, in addition to easing the cleaning and preserving the surface from dirt and harmful factors.
Flexibility in Installation
Car protection films are characterized by high flexibility in installation, as the entire exterior surface of the car can be covered without affecting its external appearance.
Original vs. Imitation Car Protection Films (PPF)
There are some basic differences that distinguish original car protection films from imitation ones, and here are the most important:
Quality and Thickness
- Original protection films are manufactured from high-quality materials, and are also characterized by a large thickness that provides stronger protection.
- As for imitation protection films, they are thin and non-uniform, making their effectiveness less.
Protection and Impact
- Original films provide effective protection against sun rays, and also reduce any damage or wear over the long term.
- As for imitation films, their protection is less and they corrode over time, which negatively affects the car’s appearance.
Film Durability
- Original car protection films are characterized by having scratch and damage treatment properties, making them resistant to various factors.
- In contrast, imitation films expose the car to scratches and damage faster and may cause additional problems.
Warranty and Maintenance
- Installing the original film includes a warranty of up to 10 years from Hamam Company, with high quality and durability.
- While imitation films often do not offer a warranty, and can face major problems during maintenance.
Impact on the Car
- The original protection film enhances the external appearance and makes it stronger and shinier.
- As for the imitation film, it may negatively affect the appearance, cause loss of shine, and reduce attractiveness over time.
Common Mistakes When Installing Car Protection Films (PPF)
There are some common mistakes that must be considered when installing protection films, and these mistakes are as follows:
- Neglecting to clean the car’s exterior surface before installing the protection film, and thus the presence of dirt, dust, or air bubbles between the car’s surface and the paint.
- Installing the film in an inappropriate way or in a non-specialized maintenance center, leading to the appearance of many problems in the film details.
- Choosing imitation films or poor-quality ones, and thus affecting the car’s appearance after a period and leading to damage to the exterior surface.
- Not considering post-installation tips or washing the car immediately, and thus completely damaging the film.
- Neglecting to remove any air bubbles after installation, and thus complete loss of protection.
