Should I Apply Paint Protection Film to a New Car?

[GiaLynn]

Applying paint protection film (PPF) to a new car has the following pros and cons: Protecting the Paint: Applying PPF to a vehicle can effectively protect the car's paint. It helps lock in the paint's color, preventing fading caused by direct sunlight exposure, and also avoids the appearance of scratches. In the event of minor friction, the car's paint remains unharmed. Since the paint of a new car is in perfect condition, it is the ideal time for protection. Applying PPF does not require polishing or other treatments—it can be applied as soon as the car is delivered. Potential Damage to the Paint: There are risks associated with applying PPF to a new car. First, improper installation may damage the paint, potentially compromising its integrity. Second, low-quality PPF can harm the paint. Additionally, some PPF products may have issues with adhesive residue, often due to poor-quality glue that sticks stubbornly to the paint, requiring significant time and effort to remove.
