What is the Difference Between Color Change and Paint Protection Film?
1 Answers
There are differences between car paint protection film and color change film in terms of price, aesthetic effect, and protective performance. Color change films are generally cheaper, while paint protection films are more expensive. Paint protection films do not alter the original color of the car paint and can enhance its gloss, whereas color change films completely cover the original paint color. Paint protection films offer corrosion resistance, scratch protection, and can even self-repair minor surface scratches. Although color change films also provide some scratch protection, their effectiveness is not as good as the former. Below are some precautions to take after applying the film: 1. Do Not Roll Down Windows: Avoid rolling down the windows for a week after applying the film. In most cases, the film takes 5-7 days to fully adhere to the window. During this period, try not to roll down the windows to prevent the film from shifting before it is completely bonded. 2. Do Not Wipe: Refrain from wiping the film for a week after application. Newly applied films may develop fogging or other conditions, which are normal during the drying process. Such phenomena typically occur within a week to half a month and will disappear on their own. Do not attempt to wipe them away. 3. Avoid Using Sharp or Hard Tools: After applying the film, never use sharp or hard tools to scrape or scratch it. If care is not taken, using such tools can significantly reduce the film's transparency.
