If the other party is fully at fault and no additional equipment insurance was purchased. Below is relevant information about paint protection films: 1. Film Quality: Using inferior car films, which are of poor quality, can easily lead to bubbles and wrinkles, and are prone to adhesive failure, resulting in hollow bubbles after detachment. 2. Service Life: The lifespan of paint protection films is 5 to 10 years. Many car owners choose to apply paint protection films to protect the original factory paint. Currently, there are three popular materials used for paint protection films in the market: PVC, TPH (a softened version of PVC), and TPU.
I just experienced a minor accident, and my car wrap got damaged—it really broke my heart. I was quite panicked at first, but managed to resolve it step by step. First, after an accident, stay calm and immediately call the police to have the traffic officer determine liability. If the other party is fully at fault, things are much easier—just claim compensation from them. If it’s your own fault, you’ll need to rely on your insurance. I took photos of the scene and close-ups of the damage to the car wrap, which served as crucial evidence. Then, I contacted my insurance company to file a claim. They asked whether the car wrap was an aftermarket modification or factory-installed, so having an invoice to prove its value is best. The insurance company sent an adjuster to assess the damage, and once the other party agreed to compensate, I went to a professional repair shop to have the wrap reapplied. The whole process took about two weeks and cost over 3,000 RMB, but the compensation was eventually settled. The lesson learned: purchasing additional coverage for the car wrap in advance saves hassle, and don’t forget to regularly check its condition. In short, don’t procrastinate—with solid evidence, things get resolved smoothly.
