What is Paint Protection Film?
PPF or a clear bra is an almost indestructible thermoplastic polymer that is transparent, long-lasting, and can deflect most road debris once it hits the vehicle, including your Tesla.
You can buy car PPF with a matte or high gloss finish, one that heals instantly, and some with ceramic coating infused onto the top layer.
It’s possible to install PPF on your full hood, full front of the vehicle, or entire Tesla Model Y – front to back.
Benefits of PPF for Your Tesla
Hide Microscopic Paint Imperfections
One of the biggest benefits to installing PPF is the nanotechnology infused in the adhesive. When PPF is installed, the adhesive slip fills minor scratches, swirl marks, and other imperfections found in factory paint jobs (even in your Tesla that’s been freshly delivered to you).
PPF improves the depth, gloss, and shine of the paintwork, making black Tesla vehicles shiny and white models crisp and clean. Meanwhile, you can choose to add an extra layer of ceramic coating on top of the clear bra to improve the hydrophobic shine properties and keep your car even cleaner.
Cost Effective Protection
As technology and manufacturing standards improve, the cost of installation jobs has decreased significantly, making PPF wrap a cost effective solution for most car owners.
PPF is the only protection solution that can block UV rays damage, protect the paint from toxins, rock damage, scratches, and holds up for ten-plus years. It’s certainly bang for your buck.
Superior Protection
PPF is infused with three separate layers, with each layer adding advanced strength against chemical and corrosive damage. Whether this be acidic corrosion from bird droppings, bugs, and other contaminants is countered by innovative technology that protects against stains and swirl marks, with a film formulation that’s nearly invisible.
