How to apply Paint Protection Film (PPF) - The Process, Tips, Tricks & Advice!

Welcome to another addition to our 'How-To' series!
In this one, we show you the process behind applying Paint Protection Film to the bumper of this lovely Aston Martin Vantage we have had in this week!
Now with this being said, the process of PPF is a very long and complex procedure and will differ on every car as every panel is different. However, the bumper on most cars is generally the same method :)
Hopefully, this video will help some installers out there! If you have any questions, be sure to ask away in the comments

I'm just learning about this process for the first time. I'm getting a new car and was amazed at the price of PPF. Then, I watched this video and now understand that you're basically doing the equivalent of putting a phone screen protection cover on an entire car. Yea, I will no longer complain about the price.

[@ajv7341]

Hello, I am from Texas. I own a detailing business and have been looking to learn about ppf installation. Thank you very much for this video as it has broadened my knowledge of this service without having to go to an expensive training. Thank you.

[@yogip4]

Hi Aj, Please let me know if you learned how to do PPF , you can try on my car :)

[@temitopeadetona6332]

Hi Thanks for the video. What is the name of the machine you used in doing the cut and where do you recommend I could buy it from?

[@everywhereeastside2219]

Getting bubbles on the hood. Had a few fingers forming around where the front wheels are near the fenders and had to do some trimming. What could be causing the bubbles?

[@manp1039]

How long do you expect this PPF install to last? did you cut out the holes the the parking sensors out of the front badge(do you apply adhesive to the PPF or to the paint to stick the badge bak on)?

[@rickwallace2091]

Thanks,,,

[@kashpursad1499]

What software is that

[@kashpursad1499]

What do u mean by gel like hair gel..

[@alpinetrader]

Is it possible to ppf a custom part of a car? I had a custom bumper made for my Porsche Cayman and Xpel and such softwares won’t have a template for it.

[@rot_v]

You’d have to do a bulk installation

[@williamnunez5142]

Just cut off a big rectangle from the roll and cut off any excess as you go. Just need to be careful to not scratch your paint.

[@williamnunez5142]

You can use knifeless tape but give it a day after installing before you start to pull the knifeless tape. It’ll lift the PPF if it’s too soon

[@OTHERJ4M33L]

Is there any particular reason ppf is precut and not cut on the car like vinyl wrap is. Wanted to ppf my bumper myself but dont have a cutter. Thanks

[@ben.detailer]

Yes it is because cutting it on the car involves a lot of risk with a knife being that close to paintwork

[@TheDopefreshsaan]

What printer and software do you use?

[@gti0518t]

XPEL DAP

[@breach8813]

Ah brilliant I just need to but that how ever many thousands of pounds equipment thanks

[@TheRadduuuuu]

Why is the music so loud but then I can't hear anything you say. Then BANG the music starts playing again.

[@onderyetiskin]

how i can buy expensive cutter ploter. unless video.

[@skylarsky3173]

Hey Buddy, if you have nothing nice to say, why not just be quiet! You can buy custom cuts online. 😒

[@onderyetiskin]

@@skylarsky3173 sorry buddy, I didn't see you are a beginner KZbinr. thanks for video.

[@preciseautodetailvb4067]

Bro, you could’ve saved that piece for headlights and mirrors 😂

[@SpeedKiller198]

Good video but dude, the music is way louder than your dialogue

[@carlosmoran4293]

Men , just turn your music down when editing... hecka loud. 🥴😵

[@thescallytrader]

Is that it.....Why are people telling it will cost £3,000 to do my car when I know the materials are less than £200.

[@ben.detailer]

Much harder than it looks in all honesty! Decent material should be around 700-1500 so be careful what you put on yours

[@danielwerner3627]

sorry sound is so bad i cant watch it

[@user-du1mz5zx7s]

He left a lot of the tips out..😒
