Impact
Gravel impact
Stones are fired at a panel that is half covered in film. The bare half chips. The filmed half should come out clean.
Technology
Built in layers. Tested before it ships.
Paint protection film looks simple: a clear sheet on the paint. What makes it work is the construction underneath, and the testing a batch passes before a dealer ever opens the box.
Film construction
Four layers, each doing one job.
The top coat keeps the surface glossy and clean. The polyurethane takes the impact. The adhesive holds the film to the paint but can be repositioned during install. The liner protects the adhesive until the film goes on.

How itâs made
From clear resin to a serialized roll.
The same sequence runs for every grade. Each step below happens before a roll reaches a dealer.
- 01
Coating the film
Optically clear polyurethane runs through a precision coating line, where the self-healing top coat and the adhesive layer are applied and cured.
- 02
Clean-room inspection
Sheets are checked on a backlit table for gels, dust and optical defects. Clarity is the whole point of a clear film.
- 03
Slit to width
Master rolls are slit and rewound to the widths installers use for bonnets, bumpers and full panels.
- 04
Batch testing
Samples are checked for impact, UV ageing and stretch before a batch is released.
- 05
Serialized and shipped
Every box gets a unique serial and QR label, then ships to authorized dealers only.
Self-healing top coat
Light scratches close on their own.
The top coat is an elastic polymer. When itâs scratched lightly, by a wash mitt or a fingernail near the door handle, the surface deforms instead of cutting. Heat lets it flow back. Parking in the sun or rinsing with warm water is usually enough.
- Works on fine swirls and light scuffs
- Deep cuts through the film need a panel replaced
- Keeps the gloss even after hundreds of washes
Testing
The tests a film has to pass.
These are the standard industry tests for paint protection film. Ask your dealer for the data sheet of the grade youâre considering.
Every roll is traceable.
The serial on the box links to its batch and, after install, to your car.
