Paint Protection Film in Winter

If you want to keep your car's paint and finish looking nice all year round, you might consider cost-effective methods to add protection before winter comes. We all know our Colorado winters can be detrimental to our vehicles with the application of sand, salt, and chloride on the roads. 

With winter just around the corner, how can you avoid costly paint repairs that happen as a result of these materials that are notoriously bad on clear coat and paint? 

What is Paint Protection Film, also known as Clear Bra?

Paint Protection Film is a thermoplastic urethane film that is applied to surfaces of your car, truck, motorcycle, RV, etc. to add a very thin and nearly invisible layer of protection. This film can deflect objects off your car and protect against other damaging and corrosive materials, such as 

• Sand & gravel
• Bug splatters 
• Bird droppings
• Tree sap
• Hard water

Is Paint Protection Film worth it?

One way to answer that question is to ask yourself how much a trip to the body shop costs to fix paint chips, scratches, rust, or to have a new clear coat applied to your vehicle. Also, having PPF, or clear bra, protecting your vehicle saves time and money because you don't have to continually apply wax. Wax can melt and rub off quickly in the Colorado summers. PPF will stay on and keep your car protected much longer. 

Applying high quality Paint Protection Film like SunTek is also less expensive than other options, such as ceramic coating. This economical approach fits more budgets and protects more cars. 

Is PPF good for the environment?

Yes! If you consider that you won't have to use as many sprays, polishes and other chemicals to clean and wax your car as often, you could say that applying PPF is good for the environment. This also factors into the long-term cost savings of applying PPF to your vehicle.

Where should I apply PPF?

We recommend protecting the areas of your car that get the most abuse:

• Front Bumper
• Hood
• Front Quarter panels
• Headlights
• Mirrors
• Roof
• Rocker panels
