Invisible Protection for Your Vehicle
Keep your car looking brand new with premium Paint Protection Film (PPF) from Precision Wraps Jax. Often called “clear bra,” PPF is a high-performance thermoplastic urethane film applied to the painted surfaces of a new or used car. It absorbs impacts from rocks, road debris, and everyday hazards — protecting your paint while remaining virtually invisible.
Benefits of PPF
- Rock Chip Resistance: Protects against flying debris, gravel, sand, and the construction zone chaos that’s constant on Jacksonville’s highways.
- Self-Healing Properties: Minor scratches and swirl marks disappear with the application of heat from the sun or warm water.
- UV Protection: Prevents paint fading and yellowing from the intense Florida sun that beats down 260+ days a year.
- Stain Resistance: Guards against bird droppings, bug splatter, tree sap, and the love bugs that swarm Northeast Florida every spring and fall.
- Preserved Resale Value: Factory paint stays in showroom condition underneath the film, maximizing your vehicle’s trade-in value.
Coverage Options
We offer several PPF packages depending on how much protection you need:
- Full Front (Most Popular) — Hood, front fenders, front bumper, headlights, mirrors, and A-pillars. Covers the highest-impact zones where 90% of road damage occurs.
- Full Body — Every painted surface on the vehicle gets protected. The ultimate protection for high-end, exotic, or brand-new vehicles you want to keep flawless.
- Track Pack — Full front plus rocker panels, rear bumper, and rear fender arches. Designed for performance cars that see aggressive driving.
- Custom Coverage — Pick the specific panels you want protected. Common add-ons include door edges, door cups, luggage strips, and roof lines.
Brands We Install
We work with the top PPF manufacturers in the industry:
- XPEL Ultimate Plus — Industry-leading clarity, self-healing top coat, and a 10-year warranty. Our most-requested film for good reason.
- 3M Pro Series — Trusted name with excellent impact resistance and optical clarity from a brand that pioneered protective films.
- SunTek Ultra — Strong self-healing performance with a smooth, hydrophobic finish that sheds water and contaminants.
Each film is precision-cut using digital templates for your exact year, make, and model — no freehand cutting on your paint.
Self-Healing Technology
Modern PPF is engineered with an elastomeric polymer top coat that literally heals itself. When the surface gets scratched — from a key brush, a fingernail, or a branch — the top coat flows back together when exposed to heat. Park your car in the Jacksonville sun for 15 minutes, pour warm water over the scratch, or use a heat gun, and the mark vanishes. This self-healing ability keeps the film looking clear and glossy for years without polishing or compounding.
Perfect for Florida
Driving in Northeast Florida means your paint faces a daily gauntlet:
- Highway debris on I-95 and I-295 — Construction zones, gravel trucks, and aggressive traffic kick up rocks and sand constantly.
- Love bug season — Their acidic remains etch into unprotected clear coat if not removed quickly. PPF lets you wipe them off without worry.
- Salt air at the Beaches — Living near Jacksonville Beach, Atlantic Beach, or Ponte Vedra means salt-laden air accelerates paint degradation. PPF creates a barrier.
- Intense UV exposure — Florida’s UV index ranks among the highest in the country. PPF blocks UV rays that fade and yellow paint over time.
- Parking lot hazards — Shopping carts, car doors, and careless drivers are everywhere. PPF absorbs the impact.
PPF vs. Ceramic Coating
These two services complement each other but serve different purposes:
- PPF provides physical protection — it absorbs rock chips, scratches, and impacts that would damage paint. It’s a thick, self-healing urethane film.
- Ceramic coating provides chemical protection — it repels water, dirt, and contaminants, making the surface easier to clean. It’s a liquid nano-coating that bonds to the surface.
For maximum protection, many of our clients apply PPF first and then add a ceramic coating on top. The ceramic coating makes the PPF even easier to maintain and adds an extra layer of UV resistance and hydrophobic performance.
Professional Installation in Jacksonville
Our PPF installations are custom-fitted to your vehicle’s specific contours using precision-cut digital patterns. Every edge is wrapped and sealed to prevent peeling, and we use a meticulous wet-application process that eliminates bubbles and ensures perfect optical clarity. The result is a finish so clean that no one will know the film is there — until a rock bounces off your hood and leaves nothing behind.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Paint Protection Film (PPF) noticeable?
When professionally installed by Precision Wraps Jax, high-quality PPF is virtually invisible. It maintains the factory look of your paint while adding a deep gloss or satin finish.
Can PPF be applied over a vinyl wrap?
Yes, PPF can be applied over vinyl wraps to provide an extra layer of protection, though it is most commonly applied directly to the factory paint.
How do I maintain my car after PPF installation?
Wait at least 48 hours before washing. After that, we recommend hand washing with a mild soap. Avoid using pressure washers directly on the edges of the film.
How long does PPF last?
Premium paint protection film from brands like XPEL and 3M typically lasts 7-10 years with proper care. The film maintains its clarity and self-healing properties throughout its lifespan, and most manufacturers back their products with a 10-year warranty against yellowing, cracking, peeling, and staining.
Can PPF be applied to a wrapped vehicle?
Yes. We can apply PPF over a vinyl color change wrap to add an extra layer of protection against rock chips and scratches. This is especially popular on high-impact areas like the front bumper and hood. Keep in mind that PPF works best when applied to smooth, freshly installed wraps — talk to us about the best approach for your setup.
