PAINT PROTECTION FILM (PPF)
A GREAT INVESTMENT IN CAR’S PAINT PROTECTION AND PRESERVATION OF ITS RESALE VALUE.
The Finnish climate does not treat cars well. Especially during winter – dirt, slushy snow, road salt and bitumen accumulate on a car’s paint and damage its surface. Rock chips and scratches on the car’s paint, windshield and lights are a nightmare for every driver. Therefore, paint protection film, commonly called PPF or “ClearBra”, is our and our customers’ most popular choice for excellent protection of the car’s paint surface and for keeping the paint looking like new.
Paint Protection Film is the best solution in the world for protecting the car’s paint surface from physical and chemical damage. PPF is practically an investment to retain the value of the car.
PPF is a 200-micron thick, completely transparent polyurethane film. It has unique properties: “SelfHealing“, it means that scratches go away if heated, “Topcoat” meaning that on top of the film there is a factory sprayed ceramic hydrophobic coating, which helps to keep the car clean for longer.
In our PPF projects we use “PreCut” and “Bulk” installation methods. By using Llumar’s software, Summa vinyl cutter plotter precisely cuts the necessary car areas, which we later install without using a knife. All necessary cuts are made using special technology without touching the paint surface with the blade. We always modify the software’s settings for the customer’s benefit, so that as many edges as possible are folded, giving extra protection, e.g., in the inner arch, etc.
The accuracy of cutting and installing the protective film is at the highest possible level.
In all PPF installation projects, the car must be left overnight for full drying to fulfill warranty conditions. We protect your car according to the highest quality standards.
PAINT PROTECTION FILM INSTALLATION
PPF is usually installed to the risk areas of the car. The most common is the Full Front kit (front bumper, hood, headlights, front fenders, and side mirrors). These are all forward-facing parts of the vehicle that are most exposed to stone impacts.
Due to continuous stone impact from the tires to the car’s surface, the PPF installation to the rocker panels and rear wheel impact area is necessary too, a good example is the undoubted need of PPF for the Tesla Model 3. More than 1880 cars were protected by Restyling Point in the period of 2019-2022.
Installation of the Paint Protection Film to the entire car is increasing in popularity, as it guarantees the best protection for the paint surface.
PPF is available in Gloss and Matte versions. The paint protection film does not damage the paint surface if you will want to take it off at some point. PPF is usually covered by insurance companies.

LIGHT PROTECTION FILM INSTALLATION
The headlights are also one of the most sensitive risk parts of the car, so we recommend protecting them with protection film too. The film protects the lights from scratches, stone impacts and almost all daily physical strain.
Below are examples of the two most common event scenarios based on our 10 years of experience:
Lights without protection + a stone impact + a crack + moisture entering light’s electronics = a new light the price of which is on average €1,000 – €2,500.
Lights protected with PPF = €129 and protection against damage for 10 years.

ADVANTAGES OF PROTECTION FILM FOR CARS
Keeps your car looking brand-new – The paint protection film provides a permanent protective surface for the car’s paint and helps to keep the car’s surface as good as new. The protection film prevents the car’s paint surface from wear and scratches and gives it a permanent shiny appearance.
Preserves the car’s resale value – Used car buyers value the vehicle’s original appearance. Damaged car paint considerably lowers the car’s resale value. PPF is a great way to keep the value of the car and when it’s time to sell, it will allow you to sell the car for the best possible price.
Makes it easier to clean the car – The ceramic and hydrophobic features of the film repel dirt, thus making it easier to wash the car and maintain its shiny look.
The car becomes more resistant to environmental damage – Harmful UV rays from the sun can damage the car’s paint and cause a new car to fade early. The protection minimizes the effect of UV rays and prevents paint surfaces from aging.
Provides protection from scratches – Scratches collect moisture, which eventually leads to rusting of the car body. Likewise, chemicals from harsh cleaning products and environmental stresses can lead to the color damage and change. The paint protection film effectively protects against these damages.
Invisible car protection – The best thing about PPF is that it is completely invisible. It also improves the car’s appearance by keeping its surface shiny.
Save money on repairs – Prevention is the best way to keep your car looking like new. The PPF helps to protect the exterior of the car, so you don’t have to spend money on repairing car surface damage.
