What does PPF cover and the benefits of PPF

Posted by Keith Hirst on February 17, 2025

Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a thin, transparent, and durable layer of urethane film applied to the exterior surfaces of vehicles. Its primary function is to protect the vehicle’s paint from damage caused by stone chips, scratches, bug splatter, road debris, and other environmental contaminants. PPF is highly resistant to abrasion, self-heals minor scratches over time, and preserves the car’s aesthetic appearance.

Here are some key benefits of PPF:What does PPF cover and the benefits of PPF

  1. Protection: It acts as a barrier against stone chips, scratches, and other road debris.
  2. Self-Healing: Minor surface scratches and swirl marks can “heal” over time, making the film look fresh again.
  3. UV Protection: Prevents fading and discoloration of the car’s paint caused by UV rays.
  4. Enhanced Gloss: PPF adds a glossy finish to the paint, enhancing the car’s visual appeal.
  5. Easy Maintenance: The film is easier to clean, as dirt and contaminants are less likely to adhere to the surface.

The film is typically applied to high-impact areas such as the hood, front bumper, mirrors, and side skirts, but it can also cover the entire vehicle for maximum protection. It can be removed without damaging the underlying paint, making it an ideal option for those who want to preserve their car’s finish.

Big thanks to Dawid! Picked up my new car and within minutes of my enquiry called to explain his services and find the best options to suit.

Great knowledge of the products, along with tailoring the services for budget and relative to the age of the vehicle. Aftercare offered is perfect with maintenance washing, accompanied by excellent value for money!

More than happy with the work done, car is gleaming. Delivered far above expectations would highly recommend and will be returning.

Amazing service. Lovely, polite & professional. Couldn’t fault a thing. Car looks brand new. Would 100% recommend if you want top service and only the best for your vehicle.
Stuart Mason
What a difference! The team at Crystal have made a superb job of the car inside and out, no detail left uncleaned and then polished. The car looks amazing and, given the fact two worked on the car for 6 hours, I think very reasonably priced 👍
Oliwia Kuczyńska
Booked in my car for a Ceramic Coating and the results were astounding! My car transitioned. 2 weeks in and I am still find myself admiring their work. Great attention to detail. Arranging my appointment was quick and planned around my schedule. Thanks David 🥰
Len Richards
I’ve been using David for a while for mine and my wife’s cars (recommended too me by a good friend) and he does a brilliant job. Always on time, great communication and he also takes care as my car has ceramic coating and PPF so needs a bit more consideration. Definitely recommended 👍🏻

Stephen Dobson
I carried out comprehensive research before committing my car to David for a full refresh ( wash, machine polish, ceramic coat and full interior steam clean) and must say I was highly delighted with the results of the hard work that must have gone into transforming my car into showroom condition. David is friendly but professional and explained everything to me in detail. I will return. Highly recommend.
Damian Sebastynas
The best service with a quick and professional advice, very helpful and fear with pricing but what is most important, top quality and attention to detail around the vehicles...both Dawid and his partner are lovely personalities & people but also great specialists within complex car detailing services...if you like your cars and have very high expectations the Cristal Car is your place to go!

Paul Howe
David did a fantastic job on the Jeep. No easy task to bring it back to this standard, considering how much off-roading/green laning the Jeep has done. First major detail for five years.
Sarah Longworth
Wow, this is the second time we have had crystal car to clean our cars they made a marvellous job both times. They are polite, punctual,professional, and totally trustworthy. I would highly recommend them
Jack Whittle
I tasked Dawid with deep cleaning my Land Rover which has been used on a daily basis for driving on building sites with muddy boots on, and not been cleaned once in almost 2 years. After a day with Dawid at Crystal Car, I can honestly say I was amazed to find my car in a genuine brand new showroom condition! Dawids attention to detail and dedication to producing the best of the best results meant no stone was left unturned (literally) and is why I will definitely be using him again… Professional, friendly, and 10/10 results, what a great guy!

We bought a Clio 182 Trophy recently and it needed a good detail inside and out. The paintwork was dull and the interior was dirty.

Matthew Davis
I have been using David for over 6 months now. He’s done a mixture of vehicles for my business and personally. He’s professional, very good at his job and good value for money. He loves a challenge, especially when asked to clean every van on the fleet on a Sunday! Nothing is too much trouble and the standard is second to none used with quality products.

Bought a 2nd hand car couple weeks ago. And there was an unpleasant smells. Tried to clear the smell myself. Spent the whole day but in vain. Found Crystal car and based on the reviews, got it full valet clean. Did not expect the bad odour to vanish but Dawid did a wonderful job…. Would recommend their services to all. Hard working. Thank you Dawid

David did an amazing job on all three cars in our family, all the cars look like new and he didn't stop all day. They look brand new inside and out. We've already recommended him to other family members, if you are looking for a professional valet then Crystal Car are hands down the best we have tried.
Lee Thomson
Thanks Dawid, a fantastic service, the truck was completely transformed, a true professional in every sense 👏 Cheers Lee
John Mahon
Absolutely perfect valet. Inside and out. I had this done in order to sell my car. The first caller to view the car, bought it.
I believe the professional job David did in getting my car in “showroom condition” made all the difference. Thank you David. I will recommend you to friends and family.

Debbrah Flower
David did the most amazing job on my car. 12 months of grot and grim from children and dogs has vanished! The car looks like it's just been driven out of the show room. 7 hours of dedicated work from David. I would highly recommended David and will be using his services again.
Martin Kent
Updated review:
Dawid spent eleven hours applying a
package which is a one-stage paint correction plus applying a ceramic coating.
Amazing results, getting rid of all surface scratches making my fourteen year old Aston Martin V12 Vantage like new again.
If you love your car, this treatment is a must have.

Previous Review:
Having retired from the motor trade after forty years, I missed having my car cleaned by a professional. Crystal Car, put a card through my letterbox (liked the initiative) and I decided to give them a try.
Dawid the owner spent six hours on what i thought was an already clean car, to bring the car back to a showroom condition.
It’s true what they say, in life you get what you pay for and I would recommend you trust your car with Crystal as Dawid is a friendly, very reliable and conscientious individual.
Give him a go and you and your car won’t be disappointed.
cbrebbeck
My car looks fantastic! Great service with exceptional attention to detail. Won't hesitate to use again.
H1S5A8
