How PPF Shields your Car from Hail Damage in Florida
How PPF Shields your Car from Hail Damage in Florida
After last night's crazy hail storm, I'm seeing all sorts of posts on social media regarding potential damage to homes and vehicles outside.
Florida, known for its sunny skies and warm weather, isn't typically associated with the destructive force of hailstorms. However, as unpredictable as nature can be, even the Sunshine State experiences unexpected hailstorms like the one that came through last evening.
One modern solution that has proven to be invaluable in protecting cars from hail damage is Paint Protection Film (PPF).
Understanding Hail Damage:
Hailstones vary in size and can cause significant damage when they strike a car's surface. The impact of hailstones can lead to dents, scratches, and even cracked windshields. Repairing these damages can be expensive and time-consuming.
The Role of Paint Protection Film:
Paint Protection Film, often known as clear bra or PPF, is a clear, durable, and self-healing film that is applied to a car's exterior surfaces. It serves as an invisible shield, protecting your car's paint and finish from a variety of environmental threats, including hail.
How PPF Protects Against Hail Damage:
- Impact Resistance: PPF is designed to absorb the impact of hailstones, reducing the chances of dents and scratches on your car's surface. The film acts as a sacrificial layer, absorbing the brunt of the damage.
- Self-Healing Properties: One of the remarkable features of PPF is its ability to self-heal minor scratches and abrasions. This means that if hailstones cause superficial damage to the film, it can "heal" and return to its smooth, unblemished state with a little heat or time.
- Preventing Paint Chipping: PPF prevents the paint from chipping due to hail impacts, preserving the original factory finish of your vehicle.
- UV Protection: In addition to hail protection, PPF provides UV protection, preventing your car's paint from fading or deteriorating over time due to sun exposure.
Professional Installation:
For the best results and maximum protection, it's essential to have PPF professionally installed by experts like us at Superior Auto Detailer. Our skilled technicians can ensure the film is applied evenly and seamlessly to all vulnerable areas of your vehicle.
