If you’re someone who cares about maintaining the pristine condition of your vehicle, there are plenty of steps you can take to do so. One of the best ways to protect the exterior is to have a paint protection film applied, but unfortunately, there is a lot of misinformation about these films. Here at Osiris Paint Protection & Window Films, we’ve heard plenty of rumors and myths about paint protection, and in this blog, we’re going to debunk some common rumors and separate facts from fiction.
Myth #1: Paint protection films ruin your paint finish.
Fact: This couldn’t be farther from the truth. Professionally installed paint protection film serves as a protective barrier that keeps things like road debris, UV rays, bird droppings, and other environmental factors from damaging your vehicle.
Myth #2: Paint protection films are permanent and cannot be removed.
Fact: While they are designed to be long-lasting and durable, a trained professional can safely remove paint protection films without damaging the paint or vehicle exterior.
Myth #3: Applying paint protection film is an easy DIY job.
Fact: Professionals have plenty of experience, as well as access to specialized equipment and products that ensure a high-quality finish. DIY attempts often result in bubbling, warping, and other flaws that can end up damaging your car.
Myth #4: Paint protection films need special maintenance.
Fact: You can follow all the same best practices for car exterior maintenance when you have a protective film: use soft or no-touch wash services, soaps with a neutral pH, and hand dry if possible.
Myth #5: Paint protection films yellow or start to look bad over time.
Fact: This may be true of inferior products, but our team uses only the best the industry has to offer. Your film will be unnoticeable, and we back our workmanship and products with a lifetime transferrable warranty.
