PPF film brands compared

The installer matters more than the brand — but the brand decides how the film looks in year five. Here is what actually differs.

What really changes the outcome

1. Prep. Film locks in whatever is under it. A shop that skips decontamination and correction is saving its own time, not your money.
2. Disassembly. Bumpers and mirrors done on the car show edges within a year.
3. Edge wrapping. Wrapped edges are invisible; cut edges collect dirt.
4. Film brand. Top-coated film resists yellowing for 7–10 years. Unbranded film typically starts going yellow in year two or three.
