Paint Protection Film (PPF) in Staten Island – Ultimate Defense Against Rock Chips

Clear, Self-Healing Film to Protect Your Paint Where It Matters Most

Paint protection film, also known as PPF or clear bra, is a transparent urethane film applied to painted surfaces of your vehicle to protect them from physical damage. It absorbs the impact of stone chips, road debris, light scuffs and up-close contact that would otherwise mark your paint. Modern films are highly transparent, glossy or matte, and in many cases self-healing when exposed to heat.

At AutoSkin NYC we install high-quality PPF on daily drivers, performance cars and new vehicles that need strong protection from New York roads. Whether you choose a partial front kit or a full-body wrap, our goal is to protect your investment while keeping the original design of your car intact.

Why Choose PPF

PPF is the best choice if you want:

Maximum protection against rock chips and impact from road debris
Defense against sand, salt and harsh winter conditions
An extra layer that takes the damage instead of your original paint
Peace of mind when driving on highways, long trips and busy city streets

Common PPF Coverage Options

We can customize coverage based on your needs, but common packages include:

Front Bumper – Protects the most impacted area of the car
Partial Front – Front bumper, a portion of the hood and fenders, and mirrors
Full Front – Full hood, full fenders, front bumper, mirrors and headlights
High-Impact Areas – Rocker panels, lower doors, trunk ledge and more
Full Body – Complete coverage for maximum protection on high-value vehicles

Our PPF Installation Process

Consultation – We discuss how and where you drive, your protection goals, and which panels make the most sense to wrap.
Washing and decontamination – We thoroughly clean and decontaminate the paint to provide a clean surface for film installation.
Paint inspection – We identify any major defects or damage that may need attention before film is applied.
Film plotting and preparation – We use pre-designed patterns where appropriate and make custom adjustments as needed for a precise fit.
Installation – We carefully position, stretch and squeegee the film, focusing on clean edges and minimal visible seams.
Final inspection – We inspect the car under multiple lighting angles to ensure a clean install and address any small installation marks that will disappear as the film settles.

PPF and Ceramic Coating Together

PPF and ceramic coatings work very well together. Many owners choose to install PPF on high-impact areas and then apply ceramic coating over the film and remaining paint. This combination gives you both physical protection and easier maintenance with enhanced gloss and hydrophobic behavior.

Taking Care of Your PPF

We will explain how to wash and maintain your film so it stays clear and looks great for years. Avoid aggressive chemicals and automatic car washes with harsh brushes. Use proper washing methods and products, and your PPF will continue to protect your paint and remain almost invisible.
