1. What is PPF Elite - Shield?

Paint protection film is a transparent, self-healing film that can be applied to your car's paint to protect it from scratches, chips and other types of damage. That is why PPF paint protection film is becoming increasingly popular among car enthusiasts and car users. The desire to protect a brand new car while also protecting the paint from the abrasive effects of regular driving is the reason for this sudden increase in demand.

2. Benefits of PPF Elite - Shield

Paint Protection Film (PPF) has become a popular solution for those who want to protect the surface of their car from the harmful effects of the environment. The benefits of paint protection film go beyond just protecting against scratches, flying stones or other harmful agents, and also help maintain the original beauty of the car's paint over time.

Protection from road debris: PPF film acts as a barrier to protect your car's paint from rocks, gravel and other debris that can be thrown onto the road while driving.

Maintain resale value: A car with a protective paint coating will retain its value better over time than a car without a paint protection film.

Self-healing: Paint protection film has a special layer that helps small scratches disappear over time, keeping your car looking like new even after many years of use.

UV protection: The film also protects your car's paint from UV rays, which can cause fading and discoloration over time.

Easy to maintain: With paint protection film, you can simply wash your car with soap and water to keep it looking like new.

Change the look: Paint protection film comes in a variety of finishes such as matte, gloss, or even black. Why not change the look of your car in addition to protecting it?

3. How to keep Elite - Shield lasting

To keep your car's paint protection film lasting, you need to know some of the following tips:

Always park your car under cover or in the shade as much as possible. This will help prevent your new paint from fading or being damaged by bird droppings, bats, and tree sap.

Do not use a pressure washer, as a regular brush may damage the finish or strip the edges. Instead, hand wash the car with a pH neutral car wash and a soft cloth or sponge. Shitek Auto Detailing offers a range of car wash solutions and cleaners specifically designed for PPF.

Do not use abrasive polishes, solvents or harsh chemicals on the finish.

Do not use any waxes or products containing petroleum distillates. Use a non-abrasive towel, microfiber cloth or soft cloth after hand washing to avoid water spots and then let the car air dry.

You can use a strong detergent to clean off any sap and tree sap as soon as they appear to avoid damaging the finish. Always test a new product on a small, hidden part of the finish to ensure that it does not damage the surface. In particular, regularly cleaning the exterior of your vehicle will prevent dirt, grime, droppings and tree sap from building up and damaging your vehicle’s finish. Paint protection film is a great investment for car owners who want to keep their vehicle looking new for years to come.
