Here’s an overview of the different types of PPF:
1. Self-Healing PPF
What it is: This is one of the most advanced types of PPF. It contains a top layer of material that "heals" itself when exposed to heat, such as from the sun or warm water.
Benefits: Small scratches and swirl marks will disappear over time as the heat helps the film return to its original state.
Best for: People who want a high level of durability and are concerned about minor scratches affecting the appearance of their vehicle’s gloss.
200m Skratchaway PPF TPU features sunlight self healing; 205m, 220m, 240m Skratchaway Plus PPF TPU features instant automatic self healing & doesn’t require sunlight or any forms of heat.
2. Non-Self-Healing PPF
What it is: A more traditional type of PPF without self-healing capabilities. While it still provides excellent protection against chips, scratches, and environmental elements, any damage to the film is permanent unless manually repaired or replaced.
Benefits: Typically, these films are more affordable than self-healing options.
Best for: Budget-conscious car owners who are looking for basic protection and are okay with minor imperfections if they occur.
180m Skratchaway PPF TPU Hybrid offers a natural gloss with least effective self healing, yet ensures scratch protection so that the original paint remains in good condition.
3. Matt PPF
What it is: Matt PPF is designed for vehicles with a matte or satin paint finish. It protects the vehicle while preserving the matte look. It can also be used to convert glossy vehicle into matt.
Benefits: Prevents glossiness from forming due to regular wear and tear and adds protection against stains, chips, and UV damage. Matt finish layer on a matt painted car can vanish with time and make it look less matt and more reflective, hence a Matt PPF on a Matt car is a must have.
Best for: People with matt or satin finishes who want to maintain the look while still getting protection, & people with glossy car who wish to make it an exclusive looking rare car to stand out in the crowd.
Skratchaway Matt PPF 180m & 200m are great for this purpose.
4. Glossy Clear PPF
What it is: Gloss PPF is designed to maintain or enhance the glossiness of the car’s paint. It adds an extra shine and depth while still offering protection.
Benefits: Offers a high level of clarity and depth while safeguarding the vehicle’s paint.
Best for: Car owners with glossy paint who want to protect their car without compromising on aesthetics.
Skratchaway PPF TPU (190m, 200m) & Skratchaway Plus PPF TPU (205m, 220m, 240m) are glossy PPF materials that enhance the vehicle’s appearance and keep them glossy (mirror like reflective) for long term.
5. Ceramic Coated PPF
What it is: This type of PPF has an additional ceramic coating applied to its surface (during the production), enhancing water repellency, self-cleaning properties, and protection from environmental contaminants like bird droppings, tree sap, and road tar.
Benefits: Provides additional hydrophobic (water-repellent) properties, making it easier to clean the car and maintain its appearance. Also it adds a higher level of gloss to the car compared to other glossy PPF materials.
Best for: People who want maximum protection and prefer a low-maintenance solution with a sleek finish, for their premium cars with expensive paint quality.
Skratchaway Plus PPF TPU 205m, 220m, 240m are the ceramic coated PPF materials.
6. Colored PPF
What it is: Colored PPF comes in a variety of hues and finishes, allowing for both protection and customization of the vehicle’s appearance. They change the colour of a vehicle or are used to hide an aged vehicle’s numerous scratches, example, a high glossy jet black PPF can be used on an old black car to hide all the scratches of the black car.
Benefits: In addition to protecting the car's paint, colored PPF can be used to add a unique look, change the color of the vehicle, or accent certain parts. It can also be used for dual tone purpose of white cars or silver cars.
Best for: Car enthusiasts looking for stronger version of custom wraps or those who want to change the appearance of their car while protecting the paint.
Skratchaway Jet Black PPF & Nardo Gray PPF satisfies most purposes of car enthusiasts.
Considerations when choosing a PPF:
Durability: Self-healing and ceramic-coated films generally last longer and are more resistant to environmental damage.
Aesthetics: Choose between gloss, matte, or custom colored films depending on your preferred finish.
Cost: Non-self-healing films and basic clear PPF options are more affordable than self-healing or ceramic-coated variants.
Maintenance: Ceramic-coated PPF offers easier cleaning but then they require more attentiveness to consistently review the gloss and flawless cleaning, while matte films may require less maintenance in daily life, they may require special products to avoid discoloration (little complex topic).
In conclusion, the right type of PPF for your customer’s vehicle depends on their needs in terms of protection, aesthetics, and budget. Each type offers a different set of features, so it's essential to understand your customer’s priorities before they make a decision based on your recommendations.
