Common Questions We Get
What is Paint Protection Film (PPF)?
PPF, or Paint Protection Film, is a virtually invisible urethane film applied to your vehicle's surface to protect it from damage caused by stones, bugs, abrasion, and weathering. Ceramic Pro Kavaca PPF, specifically, also enhances the visual appearance of your vehicle, giving it a glossy, polished look.
Which PPF package is right for me?
The appropriate PPF package depends on your specific needs and how much of your vehicle you'd like to protect. Our Front Bumper Package is an excellent starting point, but for more extensive protection, you might consider our Partial Front, Full Front, or Full Vehicle Packages.
How long does the PPF installation process take?
The time required for PPF installation varies based on the package selected and the complexity of your vehicle's design. Our team will provide a time estimate during your consultation.
How should I care for my vehicle after PPF installation?
After PPF installation, you should clean your vehicle regularly with a pH-neutral shampoo. Avoid using high pressure washers up close to avoid peeling edges. It's also recommended to bring your vehicle back to us for inspection annually or if you notice any lifting or damage.
