Paint Protection Film Dorset
Safeguard your cars paintwork against stone chips, scuffs, scratches and road debris with XPEL Paint Protection Film
PPF Dorset
PPF is a transparent, polyurethane material that can be applied to any exterior painted surface on your vehicle. It was initially designed for the military in the 1980s to cover the rotor blades on helicopters to prevent damage and chipping. Having evolved dramatically since then, it has become popular for car owners to choose to protect their paintwork from physical impacts.
Due to the thickness of the PPF, the film can easily withstand stone chips, scratches and road debris from everyday driving.
We have partnered with industry leader Xpel as one of their official PPF installers in Bristol. This means we are authorised to install their full range of products. To find out more about Xpel’s products, click here.
PPF Film is typically offered in a gloss variant and an opaque matte/satin finish. This allows car owners to match their factory finish and modify the look of their car if they wish.
Using the latest software and pattern databases, we can provide a wide range of coverage options for almost any vehicle.
Prevents Wear & Tear
Stop stone chips, scuffs, swirl marks, and scratches in the paint and keep your vehicle looking pristine for years.
Non Yellowing
Our proprietary film formulation will not yellow from UV exposure, ensuring protected areas are nearly invisible.
Virtually Invisible
Our expert installers ensure the PPF material meshes seamlessly into the vehicle’s clearcoat to be virtually invisible to the untrained eye.
Self-Healing Topcoat
The film will self-heal light scratches & swirl marks with a light heat application to the film’s surface.
Edge Seal Technology
Lifting and delamination are a thing of the past. Film edges stay stuck and keep surfaces protected from contaminants.
Stain Resistant
Don’t worry about specs, spots, or splotches from contaminants. The film is stain-resistant & will maintain clarity under the harshest conditions.
Professional PPF Installation
01
Preparation
Preparing the paint is essential, as it can make the difference between a good and perfect installation. We always start by giving a vehicle a thorough wash, followed by several decontamination stages to remove any bonded contaminants and industrial fallout.
The panels on which the film is being applied will receive a light machine polish. This ensures that any protective coatings that may have been applied are removed so the film will adhere to the surface, eliminating lifting edges.
02
Installation
We use pre-designed templates using Xpel DAP software. This software has the most extensive library of vehicles and offers the best coverage options. It allows us to modify the patterns further by extending edges and deleting badge cut-outs to fit our customers’ needs.
These pre-designed templates are computer-cut on-site using a Graphtec Plotter. They eliminate the need to cut on the vehicle, ensuring no risk of paint damage during installation.
03
Finish
We pride ourselves on the fit and finish of our work, ensuring perfect alignment and going the extra mile to ensure the paint protection film on your car is as invisible as possible.
Once complete, we will prepare the car for collection or ceramic coat the film if the client opts for this. Upon collection, we will talk you through the work completed and offer advice on maintaining your XPEL PPF.

All installations are backed with a 10 year warranty on the film.

Paint Protection Film FAQ’s
Why Invest In PPF?
Investing in PPF is a proactive measure that car owners can take to protect their investment and keep their car looking its best for years.
Preserves Resale Value: By protecting the paint from damage, you help maintain the car’s overall condition, which is an important factor for potential buyers when assessing its value.
Superior Protection: PPF provides high protection for your vehicle’s paintwork against bird droppings, swirl marks, chips and scratches caused by stones and other road debris.
Invisible Protection: PPF is virtually invisible and doesn’t alter your cars look, ensuring the original aesthetic is maintained.
Self-Healing Properties: With a self-healing top layer minor scratches and scuffs can repair themselves under heat exposure, keeping the car’s surface looking new.
UV Resistant: PPF prevents discolouration and damage from harmful UV rays, helping to keep your vehicle’s paint colour vibrant and fresh.
Easy to Maintain: With its smooth and stain-resistant surface, PPF makes car cleaning more manageable and eliminates swirl marks from routine washing & drying.
Preservation of Original Paintwork: PPF helps maintain the original appearance of your vehicle’s paint job. It prevents fading, discoloration, and oxidation caused by prolonged exposure to sunlight and UV rays. The film itself is resistant to yellowing, ensuring that your car’s paint remains vibrant over time.
Long-term Cost Savings: While there is an initial cost associated with having PPF installed to your car, it can save you money in the long run. Repainting damaged panels can be costly, but PPF reduces the risk of such damage, minimizing the need for repainting or touch-ups.
What Is PPF?
Paint protection film (PPF) is an optically clear thermoplastic urethane material applied to painted surfaces of a new or used car in order to protect the paintwork from stone chips, chemical stains, vandalism, bug splatters, and minor abrasions.
My Car Isn’t New, Can I still Have PPF Applied?
Paint protection film can be installed on pretty much any vehicle at any time. To get the most value out of the product, we recommend installing it when the vehicle is brand new. A car which is a few years old with very low mileage would also be ideal if you wanted to preserve the original finish and prevent new chips from happening. We will ask to inspect your vehicle if it has more than 10,000 miles to verify that it’s a good candidate for PPF.
Any chips and damage under the film will appear as an air bubble and will look somewhat unsightly on a high-mileage car. Touch up paint can be used under certain circumstances, but it is no substitution for a professional refinish from a qualified body shop.
PPF Or Ceramic Coating, Which Is Better?
Ceramic coatings only offer protection against environmental damage, not physical damage like PPF does. If your goal is to improve the appearance of your car and keep it clean for longer, ceramic coatings are a great choice.
However, if your goal is to protect your cars paintwork and keep it looking nice for as long as possible, paint protection film is the best choice. It will protect your cars paint from stone chips, scratches, vandalism and road debris.
We recommend having paint protection film applied to all high-impact areas and then ceramic coating the car for the ultimate protection for your car.
