Up to now, body coatings have been the standard method for maintaining the appearance of a vehicle. While coatings can protect the body from light scratches and dirt, they are not very effective at preventing more serious scratches and dents. Paint protection film provides a higher level of protection which is capable of preventing scratches and dents, and has the elasticity required to fit on a variety of shapes. The film maintains the beauty of the vehicle and conceals its presence with a high level of transparency and gloss.
