Body Paint Protection
Two ways to keep your paintwork looking new: a self-healing film that takes the hits, and a ceramic coating that locks in the gloss.
Paint Protection Film
A thin and virtually invisible urethane paint protection film that sits over your paint and absorbs the damage instead of the paint doing so: rock chips from the highway, road salt and insect strike.
The film contains special elastomeric polymers, which means fine scratches and swirl marks self-heal rather than staying in the surface.
Available in a clear or matte finish.
Ceramic Body Paint Protection
A ceramic coating bonds to the paint and strengthens the gloss, while preventing oxidation, UV damage, acidic rain exposure and insect damage.
It eliminates the need for waxing and frequent cleaning, and reduces paint chipping, enhancing the durability and hardness of the surface underneath.
- ✓ Deep, hard gloss that lasts
- ✓ Resists oxidation and UV fade
- ✓ Shrugs off acid rain and insect etching
- ✓ No more waxing, and washing gets easier
Film or Coating?
Many customers fit both: film on the impact areas, ceramic over the rest of the car.

What Your Paint Is Up Against
Rock & stone chips
Highway debris that strikes the bonnet, bumper and wing mirrors at speed.
Salt
Coastal air and road salt that eat into unprotected paint over time.
Insects
Acidic insect remains that etch into clear coat if they are left to bake on.
Sun & oxidation
Gulf UV that dulls, fades and eventually oxidises the paint surface.
