The components of a paint protection film

Clearcoat

Clearcoat is a substance that provides a glossy protective layer over your car’s paint. It gives the effect of high shine and also protects against scratches, chemical etching, UV rays (sunlight), etc.

Acrylic adhesive

Wrapacar uses acrylic adhesive in all of its products. This type of glue is extremely resistant to high and low temperatures, UV rays (sunlight), moisture damage, weathering, etc. Wrapacar’s High-Performance series films use this feature to allow for maximum flexibility without sacrificing strength so that they can be used in many different situations without compromising on quality.

Polyurethane

Wrapacar uses polyurethane as its main film material to protect from the weather, such as heat and moisture damage. Polyurethane is both flexible and elastic, which means it will not crack when the temperature changes rapidly or if there are other extreme conditions around you while driving, like rain or hail storms. Wrapacar’s High-Performance series films use this feature to allow for maximum flexibility without sacrificing strength so that they can be used in many different situations without compromising on quality.

Polyester release liner

Wrapacar only uses polyester material as a base film layer because it does not have any chemicals or additives such as plasticizers which are found in PVC-based wrap materials which may cause horrible odours when applied over the car’s paintwork-yuck! Wrapacar also offers two types of poly: woven and nonwoven. Wrapacar’s High-Performance series films use nonwoven polyester because it is more cost-effective and still has all of the benefits without any harmful side effects. However, if you are looking for an even better finish, then Wrapacar also offers woven material which provides much higher strength-perfect!

Disadvantages of a paint protection film

Yellowing

This is caused by the adhesive used to attach paint protection film, which often yellows over time. Wrapacar uses a water-based acrylic adhesive that is resistant to UV degradation and won’t cause any discolouration of your car’s paintwork.

Blistering

This commonly occurs in hot climates or where there has been damage pre-installation, such as cuts or scratches that have occurred during the fitting process.

Peeling

As with other films, this can occur when they are not applied correctly or if you remove them yourself without following proper removal instructions-ouch! The Wrapacar Paint Protection Film comes off cleanly, so no need for solvents, heat guns etc… just peel away like a sticker! You generally get about a 12-month warranty for the Wrapacar paint protection film, which is pretty good.

The process we use for paint protection film

Before we start the Wrapacar paint protection film installation process, we will carefully inspect your car to check for any damage. If you already have a Wrapacar Paint Protection Film on your vehicle that has not been fitted by us, then this can be left alone and only areas of new damage need to be addressed.

The Wrapacar paint protection films are applied with our specially designed heavy-duty Wrap-a-Car application machine which ensures even tension across the entire surface area, ensuring maximum cling and bubble-free installation. The specialised metallic applicator roller distributes pressure evenly as well as applying heat from friction during the adhesion process, so there are no bubbles or creases.
