Is it necessary to apply an invisible car wrap?
2 Answers
You can decide whether to apply an invisible car wrap based on your actual situation. The advantages of applying an invisible car wrap are as follows: Enhances paint gloss: Addresses paint oxidation issues. Nearly 99% of paint fading is caused by oxidation. Prolonged exposure to air and ultraviolet rays leads to oxidation and fading. An invisible car wrap can effectively block oxygen and UV rays from coming into contact with the car paint. Protects the original factory paint: Solves the problem of acid rain corrosion. Acid rain gradually causes paint corrosion and discoloration. An invisible car wrap has excellent corrosion resistance, protecting the paint from acid rain damage. Automatic repair of minor scratches: Addresses scratch issues. Vandals, metal dust, and gravel can directly cause paint scratches, with severe cases leading to permanent marks. The self-healing properties of an invisible car wrap provide excellent protection for the paint surface.
I think paint protection film (PPF) is totally worth it for car enthusiasts. I had it applied right after getting my new car, and after two years, the body still looks brand new. When parked on the street, it's inevitable to get scratches from tree branches or kids' doodles, but the PPF prevents any marks from showing. It also saves effort on car washing and waxing - the hydrophobic layer makes rainwater bead up and roll right off. Though if you're driving a five-year-old car, it might not be worth spending that kind of money, since a full-body application costs around 7,000-8,000 RMB. My neighbor sold his PPF-protected car after three years and got 3,000 RMB more, simply because the paint was kept in perfect condition.
