Paint Protection Film

PPF Questions

What is PPF and what are its benefits?

PPF (paint protection film) is a clear, self-healing TPU film applied over painted panels. It stops stone chips, scratches and bird-dropping stains from reaching the paint, keeps the car looking new and protects resale value.

Does PPF damage the original paint?

No. Quality TPU film uses an adhesive designed to come off cleanly. When removed professionally, the factory paint underneath is intact and protected.

How long does PPF last?

Quality TPU film lasts several years. Our warranty is three to five years depending on the film, covering yellowing, cracking and peeling.

Which PPF is best β€” and which is budget-friendly?

TPU film with a self-healing top coat is best. For a budget-friendly option, protect just the bonnet, bumper and mirrors (partial PPF) instead of using cheaper PVC film.

Can PPF protect a car from street dog scratches?

PPF absorbs light scratches from claws and many fine marks self-heal with warmth. Very deep scratches may cut the film, but the paint underneath is usually protected.

Is there PPF for the interior?

Yes. Interior PPF protects screens, piano black trims and the centre console from scratches.

Where should I get PPF done?

At a studio that installs TPU film indoors, prepares the paint properly and gives a written warranty. See our PPF page.

Ceramic Coating

Ceramic Coating Questions

Should I get a coating for shine?

Yes β€” ceramic coating deepens gloss and keeps it for years, while making the car much easier to clean.

What does 9H mean?

It refers to pencil hardness: the coating resists marks from a 9H pencil, giving strong resistance to fine wash scratches. It does not make paint scratch-proof.

Does ceramic coating work on matte paint?

Yes, with coatings made for matte finishes that protect without adding gloss. Matte PPF is another option.

Which is best for a black car β€” PPF or coating?

Black paint shows every swirl, so we usually suggest paint correction followed by ceramic coating, plus front PPF if you drive the highway often.

How long does ceramic coating last?

Our grades are rated from one year (7H) to five years (9H+), depending on the grade and care.

Can ceramic coating fix water spots on the windscreen?

Water spots are polished off first; a glass coating then helps prevent them by making water bead and roll away.

Window Film

Window Tinting Questions

Is window film legal in India?

Film is permitted only within visibility limits: at least 70% VLT on the windscreen and rear glass and 50% on side windows. We fit legal shades only.

Which film is coolest?

Ceramic film β€” it rejects 70–99% of heat while staying light.

Will film affect FASTag or mobile signal?

Carbon and ceramic films contain no metal and do not interfere with signals.

Detailing & Cleaning

Detailing Questions

What is the difference between a car wash and detailing?

A car wash removes surface dirt. Detailing safely cleans, decontaminates, polishes and protects paint and interior.

Paint splashes landed on my car β€” what should I do?

Do not scrub. Paint overspray can usually be removed with clay bar treatment and polishing; bring the car in quickly before it cures.

What is car dry cleaning?

A low-moisture interior clean using steam and extraction, so seats and carpets are cleaned deeply and dry within hours.

How can I protect my car from scratches?

Wash safely (two buckets, clean microfibre, never dry wipe), park away from bushes, and protect paint with PPF or ceramic coating.

Is rubbing and polishing safe?

Yes, when paint thickness is measured and the least aggressive method is used, as we do on every job.

Do you do dent and paint?

Yes β€” see our dent and paint page.
