PPF
Why protect the car with PPF?
PPF is a physical film that takes stone chips and light impacts before they reach the paint. Coating is something else: gloss, easier washing and chemical resistance.

When PPF is the right answer
PPF protects the paint physically against stone chips, scratches and wear. It is especially useful on the front bumper, bonnet, mirrors and other exposed areas.
Stone chips
Front bumper, bonnet, mirrors and wings first – that is where the impacts hit.
Wash wear
Daily use and poor washing leave marks over time. A physical film takes the wear.
Salt and traffic film
Norwegian winter use makes the paint more exposed, especially on cars driven all year.
What does PPF actually protect against?
PPF is a physical film that takes stone chips and light impacts before they reach the paint. That is what separates PPF from ceramic coating.
PPF protects especially against
- New cars and lease cars that should stay unmarked
- Tesla, Porsche, BMW and other cars with a lot of motorway use
- Front bumper, bonnet, mirrors and wings first
- When coating alone will not stop stone chips
PPF or ceramic coating?
PPF and coating protect in different ways. PPF gives physical protection against stone chips. Coating gives gloss, easier washing and chemical protection.
Choose PPF if
- You want protection against stone chips
- The car is new or almost new
- The front is exposed
- You want to preserve the paint as well as possible
Choose both if
- You want physical protection at the front
- You want easier washing on the rest
- The car is used all year
- You want the best overall protection
Choose coating if
- You want more gloss
- You want the car easier to wash
- Stone chips are not the main problem
- You want a lower entry price
The front is where PPF makes the biggest difference.
Front bumper, bonnet, mirrors and wings are usually the most important areas. That is why many choose a front package or full front.
Which cars should consider PPF?
PPF makes most sense before the damage comes, especially on a new car, lease car, Tesla, Porsche, BMW and other cars you want to keep looking good for a long time.
Tesla
Tesla and other cars with a lot of motorway use. The front takes the hits first.
Porsche, BMW and Audi
On premium cars PPF is about paint protection, finish and value over time.
Lease and new cars
The best time to protect the car is before the damage comes.
Is PPF worth it?
Yes, often – if the car is worth protecting. PPF makes most sense before the damage comes. When coating alone will not stop stone chips, a physical film is the right answer.
PPF makes most sense when

- You have a lease car or premium car
