WHAT IS PPF?
Paint protection film (PPF) is a clear, high performance layer applied directly to a vehicles’ painted surfaces to safeguard against scratches, chips, and environmental factors. This film forms an invisible barrier that shields your paint from external damage while maintaining its natural shine and clarity (or change the appearance entirely with coloured PPF or matte finishes).
Modern PPF is engineered with self-healing properties, allowing minor surface scratches and swirl marks to disappear when exposed to heat — whether from sunlight or warm water. This advanced technology ensures your vehicle maintains a flawless finish and a deep, glossy look for years to come.
At Cortez Autolab, we use only premium PPF materials that deliver exceptional protection, clarity, and longevity without altering your car’s original colour or design lines.
Benefits of Paint protection film
PPF is more than a cosmetic enhancement — it’s a strategic investment in your vehicle’s longevity and value.
1. Comprehensive Protection from Physical Damage
PPF acts as a durable, transparent barrier that shields your vehicle from rock chips, scratches, and abrasions caused by daily driving or harsh weather conditions.
2. Self-Healing Technology
Thanks to its innovative surface composition, PPF can “heal” itself when exposed to warmth from the sun or a heat source. This means your car remains smooth and blemish-free even after years of use.
3. UV and Oxidation Resistance
PPF blocks ultraviolet rays that can cause fading, oxidation, or discolouration. Your paint maintains its factory vibrancy and depth for years to come.
4. Resistance to Stains and Chemical Damage
From bird droppings and bug residue to road tar and tree sap, contaminants can harm your paint. PPF’s hydrophobic surface repels these substances, making cleaning and maintenance effortless.
5. Enhanced Vehicle Value
A protected exterior translates to higher resale and trade-in value. PPF preserves your car’s original condition, helping you maintain your investment for the long term.
6. Flawless, Invisible Finish
At Cortez Autolab, we use precision-cut templates tailored to your specific make and model. The result is a seamless, nearly invisible layer of protection that preserves your car’s natural design and gloss.
OUR INSTALLATION PROCESS
Professional PPF installation requires experience, precision, and the right environment, hence why PPF is NOT offered as a mobile service. Cortez Autolab follows a meticulous, multi-step procedure to ensure flawless results every time.
Step 1: Consultation and Inspection
We begin with a thorough inspection of your vehicle and a detailed discussion about your driving habits and goals. This allows us to recommend the best PPF coverage package for your needs and budget.
Step 2: Surface Preparation
Proper preparation ensures perfect adhesion. We perform a complete wash, decontamination, and, if necessary, paint correction to remove imperfections and achieve a perfectly smooth surface.
Step 3: Precision Cutting
Using advanced digital plotting technology, we cut each film pattern precisely to fit your vehicle’s contours. This process eliminates the risks of manual cutting and ensures an exact fit.
Step 4: Application and Alignment
The film is carefully applied using a specialised slip solution, allowing our technicians to position it perfectly. Every panel is smoothed and aligned to eliminate bubbles and ensure a flawless finish.
Step 5: Curing and Final Inspection
Once installed, the film undergoes a curing phase for proper adhesion. We then conduct a comprehensive quality inspection to ensure every detail meets Cortez Autolab’s standards of excellence.
