Benefits of PPF, Paint Protection Film or Clear Bras

Did you know that the paint on your car is the single most expensive component of your vehicle? It's true! In fact, a good quality paint job these days can cost anywhere from $5,000 to $8,000 or more, depending on what you drive.  That's crazy isn't it!  To top that off, the days of getting a good paint job from a car manufacture are long gone too!  Between the removal of lead from the color and the reduction to the amount of clear coat being applied, car paint is extremely vulnerable to chipping and scratches these days more than ever!  Just take a look at the vehicles sitting on a dealership lot. Find one that has good direct sunlight shining on it and notice all the swirl marks.  You see, car manufactures are in such a hurry to get their inventory to the dealership; they don't really give a newly painted vehicle sufficient time to cure before it gets shipped out.  With the clear coat still being somewhat soft, it can take quite a beating from inclement weather and random hydraulic fluid spills from the transporting trucks.  Once the dealership takes position, they often take the vehicle through their automatic carwash, adding even more swirls to the soft clear coat.  Professional detail shops like Dr. Auto Spa can use a special paint gauge tool to accurately read the depth of the clear coat on a vehicle.  What is most interesting is the inconsistencies in the readings we often find from one panel to the next.  Let's face it, you work hard for your earnings, and you paid really good money for your new vehicle! I mean, new car cars cost and good arm and a leg these days, right!  So, with all these variables mentioned above, doesn't it make perfect sense to protect your investment and keep your paint from rock chip and scratch damages?  Of course, it does!
