ULTIMATE PROTECTION
Why Choose PPF?
Your vehicle’s paintwork is constantly exposed to potential damage. Stone chips, scratches, road debris and environmental contaminants can all take their toll, particularly on the front end and lower sections of the vehicle.
Paint Protection Film offers a practical solution by adding a transparent protective layer over the original paintwork. Unlike ceramic coatings, which primarily provide chemical resistance and make surfaces easier to clean, PPF offers physical protection against impacts and abrasions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here is everything you need to know about vinyl wraps, if there is anything we have missed, don’t hesitate to get in touch using out contact form.
What is Paint Protection Film?
Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a transparent, durable polyurethane film applied to a vehicle’s painted surfaces. It acts as a physical barrier, helping to protect the original paintwork from stone chips, scratches, road debris and environmental damage.
Is Paint Protection Film visible?
Modern PPF is designed to be virtually invisible once installed. When professionally fitted, it follows the contours of your vehicle and maintains the original appearance of the paintwork.
How long does Paint Protection Film last?
The lifespan of PPF depends on the film specification, installation quality and how the vehicle is maintained. Premium films can offer many years of protection. Specific product warranties will depend on the film selected and the installation package.
Can PPF be removed?
Yes. PPF can be professionally removed, typically without damaging the original factory paintwork when the underlying paint is in good condition and the removal is carried out correctly.
Can PPF be applied to a used vehicle?
Absolutely. PPF can be installed on both new and used vehicles. Before installation, the paintwork will be assessed to establish its condition. Depending on the vehicle, paint correction may be recommended to address existing imperfections before the film is applied.
Can I have PPF applied to my entire vehicle?
Yes. Full vehicle PPF is available, covering the majority of exterior painted surfaces. This is particularly popular with owners of new, high-value and performance vehicles who want to preserve the overall condition of their paintwork. PPF can also change the finish of a vehicle, such as a satin PPF.
Who carries out the PPF installation?
AC13 works in association with Topaz Detailing, who undertake the specialist PPF installation. Topaz has extensive experience in paint protection and automotive detailing, allowing us to offer customers access to specialist installation expertise.
How much does Paint Protection Film cost?
Every PPF installation is different, so we don’t offer fixed package pricing. The cost will depend on your vehicle’s make and model, the areas you wish to protect and the film specification selected. Contact our team with your vehicle details and requirements, and we’ll arrange a bespoke quotation.
