PPF installation is not an easy task

Car paint protection film in India is made of Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) sheets applied to the surface of the car’s exterior body with extreme precision. It shields the car’s original body paint from environmental debris, scratches, rock chips and other abrasives that may cause damage. PPF helps in maintaining the new car showroom look by preventing scratches and UV rays from dulling your car’s shine. Installing car paint protection film in India may look easy in many videos online, but it is an extremely detailed and scientific process that can get time-consuming as well.

Stretching the film properly and placing it on the correct edges is one of the most technical and challenging parts of installing PPF on your car. If the PPF is not applied properly, it will leave stretch marks and air bubbles on the surface. If the cuts on the film are improper, it stands the risk of dust settling on the edges and of course lacking the proper finish means the car will look shoddy.

At CarzSpa, our trained installers have a keen eye for perfection and the subtle aspects of applying the films, to ensure you get the best out of your CarzSpa Aegis PPF. After all, no one details like we do.

Installation must be done in the right environment

Having a dedicated space for the PPF application matters a lot too. The application area should have enough room for the car to be in the centre, while the applicators have space to move around during the PPF application process. The bay must be away from the street, enclosed, well-lit, completely decontaminated, air-conditioned and dust-free.

Wondering why we’re being so particular? Most workshops or automobile repair shops that offer cheap PPF applications are located on the roadside with bustling traffic around. Further, these shops may not have proper lighting and enough space inside, let alone being dust-free or air conditioned, for them to apply the PPF with precision.

PPF application cannot be done at home or in any open space either. If anyone claims/offers to apply PPF on your car at your home, it clearly means they are untrained and lack knowledge about car paint protection. If the vehicle undergoes PPF installation in an unclean space, dust particles and contaminants will stick to the surface of the vehicle and film. This can damage the adhesive on the film, making the film rise in a short time after application.
