Should Car Body Be Wrapped with Film?
2 Answers
Car body should be wrapped with film. The body film is attached to the surface of the car paint to achieve the purpose of protecting the original paint and decorating the car body, and can be easily removed at any time, forming a sharp contrast with traditional paint surface chemical changes such as glaze sealing, coating, and painting. Car body film is a high-performance, low-viscosity PVC film specially designed for car body wrapping, with the property of fully adhering to various substrate surfaces of car paint and interior. The functions of car body film include: 1. Not damaging the original car paint, enhancing the protection of the original car paint; 2. Changing to the color preferred by the car owner, creating a personalized car; 3. Resisting chemical corrosion and erosion from acid rain, insect remains, bird droppings, resin, etc.
I personally think that car body film is quite necessary, especially if you frequently drive on highways or gravel roads—it's very practical for protecting the paint. I've driven several cars, and those without film had their paint scratched by flying stones within the first few years. The cost of repainting was much higher than applying a film. A clear film can block UV rays, prevent oxidation, and protect against minor scratches. Nowadays, there are cost-effective domestic films available for just a few thousand bucks, and maintenance is as simple as wiping it clean. The key point is that it preserves the original factory paint, which increases the car's resale value later on. Don’t go for too cheap or no-name films, as they tend to bubble or turn yellow. I once tried a DIY installation and failed, but later got it done properly at a professional shop. Remember to check it regularly, especially at the edges, and fix any issues promptly. With the film on, driving feels more secure—no need to constantly worry about minor scratches when parking.
