Frequently Asked Questions
Especially on white or light-coloured cars, PPF do tend to turn slightly yellowish over time, due to exposure and dirt build-up. A high quality PPF is engineered with UV inhibitors to prolong the clarity to last longer before turning yellow. A car that is well taken care of, frequently washed, and well maintained would preserve the PPF surface and make sure the yellowing is prevented.
While PPF provides excellent protection against stonechips, minor scratches, mild abrasions and impacts, it is not designed to safeguard against major accidents. It is still a film regardless.

A car that is well taken care of, frequently washed, and well maintained would preserve the PPF surface and make sure the yellowing is prevented.
If installed and removed correctly, PPF should not damage the car's paint. Professional removal techniques are essential to prevent any paint damage. If the car has been resprayed or repainted before, there will be a risk of paint pulling.
The cost of PPF depends on the quality of the material, the size of the car, and the complexity of the installation. High-quality PPF offers better protection and durability, justifying the higher cost. Conversely, cheap PPF would typically not last long, and may leave difficult to remove adhesive residues during removal, or even damage the car paint. Saving on the initial investment and getting low grade PPF may cost you more in the long run.
Good PPF is a high-quality TPU grade, clear film that provides excellent protection, has permeable surface and has self-healing properties. With that being said, even with the best quality film, if installed by an amateur will not give you good results. Workmanship is arguably a more important factor when making decision about choosing a PPF.
PPF can be pre-cut to fit specific car models precisely but is more rigid to customization, while manual cutting allows for more customization but requires a skilled installer to achieve a perfect fit and wrapping of the film inwards to avoid large gaps.
It is not necessary to install PPF on the entire car. Many car owners opt for partial coverage, focusing on high-impact areas like the front bumper, front hood, front fenders, side mirrors and doorcup areas.
PPF requires minimal maintenance. Regular washing (we recommend washing your car once a week) and occasional PPF maintenance wash will keep it in good condition.
The lifespan of PPF depends on its quality, the climate, and how well it's maintained. Typically, it can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years or more.
PPF peeling can occur due to poor installation or when it reaches the end of its lifespan. Professional reinstallation may be required in such cases. However, if you notice some small lifting of PPF on the first week or two after the installation, it could still be fixed, do head back to your installer for advice.
Yes, you can wash your car after PPF installation. However, avoid using abrasive materials and harsh chemicals. However, washing your car immediately after installation should be avoided to allow for proper curing and drying of the PPF. It varies for different weather and environment but typically, the curing period lasts for 1 week.
Regular washing, using a mild soap, and avoiding abrasive materials will help maintain the PPF.
Yes, PPF and coatings can complement each other. Many car owners opt for PPF first for protection and then apply a ceramic coating on top for enhanced shine and hydrophobic properties. There are also instances that you can install PPF on certain crucial parts like the Full Front, and have the other parts of the car coated.
PPF is a clear film that provides physical protection against stonechips, scratches and minor impacts, while coatings are applied to the paint to enhance gloss, hydrophobicity, and chemical resistance. While Coating does not have strong physical protective capabilities, it can be applied together with PPF as well.
Installing PPF on a new car can offer immediate protection from potential damage and preserve the car's showroom condition. In fact, in today’s day and age, PPF is considered a staple protection that is recommended, even for just a few crucial parts of the car such as headlamps, doorcup, or even the front bumper. With that being said, the most common part to protect with PPF is the Full Front area and piano black pillars.
Yes, installing PPF on existing cars can be done, but it is advisable to get an inspection from the installers first. Pre-existing damage or stonechips may still be visible after PPF installation, but some minor scratches can be removed via paint correction.
Yes, PPF can be installed after a car has been resprayed, provided the paint has fully cured. However, there is a risk of paint pulling from the PPF, if the new paint and clear coat used is not of good quality. Do check with the installers for advice.
Yes, minor marks on the PPF can be polished out by a professional detailer.
PPF provides some protection against bird droppings, but it's best to clean them off as soon as possible to prevent potential damage. Acid from the bird dropping if left for a prolonged period of time can etch on to the PPF (or even bare paint if there’s no PPF) and have long term damage. It is always recommended to clean them off as soon as possible.
PPF is designed to be water-resistant, but watermarks may appear if the car is left wet or exposed to rain for extended periods. Water especially mixed with dirt, left drying on the surface of the car would leave watermarks even on unprotected (PPF or Coating) surfaces. Proper regular drying can prevent this.
The installation time varies depending on the size of the car and the areas covered. On average, it takes a few days to even one week. Consult your installer for a more precise timeframe.
PPF typically takes 1-2 weeks to fully dry and cure, depending on environmental conditions.
If installed and removed correctly, PPF should not damage the car's paint or surface. Installers should always be trained and certified to get the job done professionally.
Bubbling due to a manufacturing defect is covered under the PPF warranty.
PPF is commonly available in a clear form, but there are also options with matte finishes, colours and different levels of gloss.
Use a mild, pH-balanced shampoo to clean PPF, avoiding harsh chemicals that may degrade the film.
Good workmanship in PPF installation is evident through seamless edges, no visible bubbles, precise cuts, and overall attention to detail.
In most cases, PPF can be installed without removing parts. But if you require a better coverage and a more seamless edge, there will be some parts that needs removal. Depending on the car model, parts like door handle and side mirros are the more common parts that can be removed.
PPF is made to protect paint surfaces, while it can be installed on chrome parts for added protection, the finishing and risk involved may not justify the installation.
What happens if my car is involved in an accident? PPF can help protect the car's paint from minor impacts, but it may not prevent damage in severe accidents. PPF may even protect the paint underneath from the minor damages, and in some cases, all you need to do is replace the PPF for that particular affected part.A special kind of PPF can be installed on the windshield to protect against minor rock chips. However, PPF on the windshield would require frequent replacement (once every 2-3 months) due to its nature and due to wiper use. It is less common to install PPF on the windshield in Malaysia due to the wet season and occasional rain.
Yes, PPF can be installed on glass roofs to protect against scratches and impacts.
PPF is primarily designed for exterior use, but it can be applied to certain interior surfaces for protection especially on piano black gloss surface that are prone to scratches.
Yes, PPF can be applied to certain gloss plastic surfaces to protect against scratches, however, depending on the surface, some plastic areas are not suitable for installation especially those with matte surface.
Yes, PPF can be installed on piano black areas to protect against scratches and swirl marks. Typically, these piano black areas are present at the exterior pillars, interior centre consoles and door panes for some car models.
PPF stands for Paint Protection Film, a clear, self-adhesive film designed to protect the vehicle's paint from scratches, rock chips, and other environmental hazards.
PPF is typically made of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). Traditionally, there are lower grades material as well such as TPH or PVC type, which are lower is cost, but has poorer durability. But within TPU itself, there are also different grade TPU with different thickness, durability, tensile strength, adhesives and material composition.
Yes, PPF can be installed on a coated car for added protection. Coated cars are however, more slippery and slick to the touch, so certain method and steps to install on top of coated cars are necessary.
It is recommended to wash your car 1 week after PPF installation to remove any residue and ensure the film stays clean. However, during the curing period of 1 week, it is not recommended to do heavy washing, especially using high pressure jet spray.
PPF can be installed on many surface that has smooth surface, but especially on rims, which are always moving, it is not recommended.
Cracking on PPF can occur due to poor quality of PPF used. Another factor is prolonged exposure to harsh conditions or improper installation methods.
While it is technically possible, multiple layers of PPF may affect the appearance and could be unnecessary. There are also increased chances of failure because PPF adhesives are meant to be stuck onto the surface of the car, but not on the surface of another PPF. Generally, it is not a common practice.
Thicker PPF provides enhanced protection but may not be necessary for all vehicles. A high-quality, standard thickness PPF is often sufficient. A PPF that is too thick is prone to lifting and is much more difficult to install especially on curved areas.
While technically possible, PPF can be applied on top of vinyl wrapping for added protection. There are any problems with the wrap below, it may affect the PPF on top. Also, there will be increased chances of failure because PPF adhesives are meant to be stuck onto the surface of the car, but not on the surface of a wrap. Hence, generally it is not a common practice.
Technically, PPF can be installed on certain logos (depending on the size, shape and finishing), but it may affect their appearance. Also certain brand logo may have sensors, so generally it is not recommended for PPF to be installed on a logo.
Yes, PPF can be installed on any car color, including white cars. However, there will be concerns on the PPF film turning yellow over time. It does depend on how the car is being taken care of, frequency of washing and maintenance of the car, frequency of the car exposure to the sun and also the PPF grade as well. Despite having many non-yellowing film in the market, these factors should also be taken into account.
PPF itself does bring about some significant impact to the car's gloss. It can also preserve the paint's shine by protecting it from environmental factors. However, the gloss level of the car is also highly dependant on the existing surface of the car before installing PPF (an old car that has poor paint condition may not get the same effect as a brand new car after installing PPF).
Wrapping and PPF are different. Wrapping is a vinyl film applied for cosmetic purposes or to have a colour change, while PPF is a clear, transparent film designed for paint protection. There are now coloured PPF or Matte surface PPF in the market as well to satisfy both protection and aesthetic change.
Stretching the PPF during installation allows it to conform to complex curves and contours on the car's surface. It is also to avoid lifting or fingers on the PPF, keeping the PPF more durable.
Yes, PPF is definitely worth installing if you want to protect your car's paint from damage from stonechips and minor scratches and maintain its appearance. However, do note that it does not protect from damage from accidents and heavy impacts. Expectation is the key here.
Driving with peeling PPF is not recommended especially at high speeds, as it can lead to further damage to the film and the paint underneath. Do not try to push it back or meddle with the PPF as well. The recommended course of action is to contact your installer for advice and/or bring the car back to get it touched up or replaced.
Peeling PPF can sometimes be reinstalled if the damage is not extensive. So don’t worry if you notice a couple of small peels or lifting of the PPF especially in the early stages while it is still curing.
While PPF offers excellent protection against minor impacts, it may not protect the car from heavy impacts. PPF does not protect from dents, heavy scrapes and damage but may offer protection that is sufficient to prevent the paint underneath from damage. There are instances where the PPF can be scratched and break but the paint underneath is unharmed.
PPF and coatings serve different purposes. PPF provides physical protection against scratches and impacts, while coatings enhance the paint's appearance and durability. While PPF may offer most of the protection that coating offers, coating does not offer protection from stonechips and scratches like PPF.
PPF is popular because it helps preserve a car's resale value, protects the paint from damage, and maintains the vehicle's appearance. PPF also saves your time and effort from potential resprays.
Yes, PPF can and should be installed on most cars, regardless of the make or model. However, if the car’s paint condition is not ideal, it is generally recommended to respray the car first before installing PPF.
Yes, PPF can be applied to motorcycles for paint protection. However, not all parts can be installed with PPF, so do get advice from the installer.
Yes, Matte PPF is specifically designed for use on matte paint surfaces to allow for a satin gloss.
There is no requirement to remove PPF after the warranty period, but it may be replaced or reinstalled if needed. The PPF also does not just break or unusable after the warranty period. If the car is being taken care of well, PPF could last even longer than the warranty period, but certain properties like self healing, or hydrophobic may not be at its optimal levels anymore.
After the warranty period, the PPF may show signs of wear and may require replacement if there are changes in the appearance. Some properties such as self healing, or hydrophobic may not work at optimal levels.
Regular washing is essential to keep the PPF clean and in good condition. We recommend a wash once a week or at the very least once every two weeks subject to the usage of the car. Neglecting to wash the car can lead to accumulation of dirt and contaminants, degrading the film.
Generally, a pressure washer can be used to wash a car with PPF, but it's essential to avoid using excessive pressure directly on the film edges. Also, avoid using automatic car washer that has higher risk of damage to the car.
PPF is virtually invisible when correctly installed, making it challenging to detect with the naked eye. One tip to verify if a PPF is there is my lightly touching it with your fingertips, a PPF surface feels more rubbery compared to a car paint surface.
P10X PPF is a high-quality film with exceptional clarity, self-healing properties, and resistance to yellowing. Product quality aside, the other important factor is the workmanship of the PPF. A high grade PPF that is poorly installed will yield a disappointing result and finishing. P10X does have an academy certified to train students and prepare them for proper PPF installation.
Depending on the PPF some does have great hydrophobic properties but some do not have significant hydrophobic effect on its own. Ceramic coatings are more effective for hydrophobic properties, and there are some PPF dedicated ceramic coating that can be applied onto the PPF for better gloss and hydrophobic effect on the PPF surface.
If PPF is peeling, it's best to have it inspected and reinstalled by a professional. Do not attempt to repair the PPF on your own, and contact your installer for advice.
PPF has self-healing properties that can help minor scratches disappear over time with the help of heat from the sun or warm water under certain temperature. Accidents that are heavier may not be protected by PPF. There are some cases where if the impact is not as strong, the PPF may break but the paint inside may still be unharmed.
PPF can provide some protection against light scratches from cats or other small animals. If you’re parking in an area with many small animals, or have them climb onto your car often, getting PPF is one way to prevent scratches from them.
PPF is designed to protect against minor scratches, including those from keys. However, heavy intentional scratching can still cause damage.
PPF can provide some level of protection against small dents caused by light impacts. Dents are usually caused by opening of car doors by others. While we can take all the necessary steps (such as choosing to park at side parking instead of parking beside other cars, or parking beside doors that open by sliding), we are unable to control what others do with their car door, so installing PPF on your doors can allow for some peace of mind during parking.
Investing in PPF can enhance the resale value of your car, as it demonstrates that you have taken steps to protect the paint. It also saves you the hassle to respray your car which should also be taken into account in your overall PPF investment.
PPF is best installed on a new car or shortly after repainting to preserve the paint's original condition. Usually, people would opt to install it as soon as possible before any potential damage to the car or before any stonechip hits the car. Installing PPF can provide a psychological peace of mind especially driving at higher speeds on the highway.
Installing PPF requires specialized skills, methods, tools, the right amount of water/soap/alcohol ratio and environment so it is generally recommended to have it done by a professional installer.
Installing PPF over stone chips and scratches is fine, but it does not make the existing stonechip or scratch disappear. The marks will still be there although at some cases, it would become less obvious.
Polishing the car before installing PPF ensures that the paint surface is clean and free from imperfections and contaminations that could affect the film's adhesion. Also, if there are some small marks that can be removed, it is better to polish them away before covering it away with PPF.
PPF is becoming more popular in Malaysia as car owners recognize its benefits for paint protection. Years ago, PPF is only installed for supercars or luxury cars and is very expensive to install. There were not many people who knew how to install PPF as well. However, due to market supply and demand, PPF can now be obtained at a more affordable price compared to before. There are also more professional installers in Malaysia. P10X do offer an academy to train and certify installers on PPF installation.
Proper PPF installation requires meticulous preparation and attention to detail, contributing to the overall installation time. PPF is also installed part by part according to a customization for your car, and some level of paint correction may be required before installing PPF. A PPF that is done too quickly on a rushed pace may not have the best quality too. It is better to allocate sufficient time for your installers to do their job.
The Full Frontal areas consisting of front bumper, front hood, front fenders, headlamp, doorcup and side mirrors are some of the most critical areas to protect with PPF, as they are prone to damage from road debris on the highway.
PPF and window tint are different materials with distinct purposes. PPF protects paint, while window tint is applied to windows for privacy and UV protection. Traditionally, some would install tint on their headlamps for protection but they often end up looking burnt. PPF is actually a better choice for protection and leave Tint films for the windows.
The country of origin can be a factor in PPF quality and performance, but it is not the sole determinant. With the technology these days, product of different grades can be achieved regardless of the origin. An arguably more important point of concern should be the workmanship of the installer.
Expensive PPF typically offers better clarity, longevity, and self-healing properties compared to cheaper alternatives. PPF is not only about the material but also the adhesives used. Cheaper PPF is also due to lower grade adhesives used, and may damage the car paint during removal.
While it's not required, washing the car before PPF installation can ensure a clean surface for better adhesion. But don’t worry, let the professionals do the cleaning for you. Regardless if you clean the car, the installers will have to clean it again more thoroughly before installation.
Full-body PPF offers a total protection from all sides. It is more expensive but may not necessary for everyone. Partial PPF coverage can still offer significant protection for high-impact areas or crucial areas. You can check out on Hybrid PPF package whereby PPF is installed on the Full Front and ceramic coating is done for the other non PPF parts of the car.
Full front PPF can provide excellent protection for areas most vulnerable to damage from road debris. Driving on highways, the motion of the car forward will case the frontal areas of the car to be more prone to damage. However, full front protection will not cover the roof areas, doors and also the rear parts of the car which may also be prone to damage. It is better to get a consultation from the installers to see which is one is suitable for you.
PPF is not always recommended for installing on electronic screens, as it can interfere with touch sensitivity. It is subjected to the model of the car and what the screen is used for. Do consult the professionals for a recommendation.
Important factors to consider when choosing PPF include its durability of the film, self-healing properties, clarity, gloss levels, PPF raw material make, quality of the adhesives, after sales service and workmanship quality.
Self-healing PPF has the ability to heal minor scratches and swirl marks when exposed to heat, such as from the sun or warm water. The composite matrix of PPF that has self-healing will be activated when heat is present, and acts as a catalyst to revert the film back to its original state.
When a minor scratch is present, it leaves a void or a gap between the PPF molecules. Heating it will rearrange the molecules and close up the gaps, enabling the surface scratch to appear healed.A topcoat is a layer that is built-in to the PPF for additional gloss and hydrophobic properties. A good topcoat is also smooth to the touch and may assist in dirt and water repellency.
Hybrid PPF is the combination of Full Front PPF and Ceramic Coating for the rest of the car. It is a more affordable and economical way to protect the crucial parts of the car and at the same time have total protection for the car.
Will PPF installation with a knife cut my car paint? A skilled installer will use precise techniques and skill to prevent any damage to the car's paint during the installation process.
PPF designed for matte surfaces will not ruin the matte finish if correctly applied. But if you install a clear PPF on a Matte paint car, it will lose its satin finish and makes the car glossy instead of matte.
Installing matte PPF on a glossy car may result in a change of appearance, making the glossy surface matte. The colour of the car will follow its original colour. This kind of change in aesthetics are usually done for the entire car for a more consistent look.
A relief cut is a technique used to prevent the PPF from creasing or bubbling when applied to complex curves. Some cars are extremely curve, and is may not be possible to cover fully with PPF without any relief cuts.
Self-healing properties may be less effective on deep scratches or under cold conditions. It is also recommended to avoid harsh chemicals on the surface of the PPF, to avoid causing damage or change in properties to the self-healing.
Dust found inside PPF can be removed by lifting the PPF up and removing the dust or dirt particle. The benefit of PPF is that some of these dusts can be easily removed especially on the edges, and does not require a redo.
Yes, PPF provides protection against UV rays and environmental contaminants, allowing the car to be exposed outdoors without significant issues. However, regular maintenance and car wash is still recommended for optimal performance.
