What is the difference between the car wrap and paint protection film?
Some people can't understand the difference between the paint protection film and vinyl wrap.It's simple: vinyl wrap is colored; PPF is transparent, is to protect the minor cuts.
Can the car wrap achieve the protective function of the paint protection film?
Let's start with the material of the PPF. There are three kinds of paint protection film on the market: PVC, TPH, TPU.
PVC like the earliest cell phone film, a thin layer, easy to have scratches.
TPH is a certain degree of toughness of the protective film, efficacy and tpu similar, but the service life is shorter than the other, generally more than 2-3 years may be yellowed or even hardened, flaking.
TPU this material has a very strong protective film,It is a good material.
The tpu material has a strong toughness, it has a certain self-repair function, for example, you don't use sharp metal objects to slip a certain time or blow with a hot wind, it can be restored to the original, the price of this car wrap is not cheap.
Can car wrap also serve as protection?Definitely!
Slight cuts and scrapes will not make your vinyl wrap broken, if it is a serious collision, then apply how thick the paint protection film can't save your car. Then why not apply the paint protection film? Because the vinyl wrap is more cost-effective, and I personally think that the car price is relatively high luxury car can choose to apply the PPF. If their car paint to go to the 4S shop to fix will be very expensive, much higher than the price of a paint protection film. Most of the outside garages that do car paint will have color differences. And ordinary car, stick a car vinyl wrap can play a role in protecting the paint, but also make your car more attention.
