Paint protection film, answered.
Everything you want to know about PPF, WIKA films, care and partnering with us.
General
Paint protection film is a clear (or matte) polyurethane film applied to a vehicle’s painted surfaces. It absorbs stone chips, scratches, road debris and chemical contaminants so the original paint underneath stays in factory condition. It is sometimes called “clear bra”.
WIKA PPF is a premium paint protection film brand offering transparent TPU, matte TPU and PCU films built on German raw materials. We supply professional installers, detailing centers, dealers and distributors with consistent, warranty-backed film.
High-quality TPU film typically lasts many years with correct installation and care. WIKA PPF films are covered by a warranty of up to 10 years depending on product grade and region — see the written warranty terms for details.
Products
TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) is highly flexible, self-healing and anti-yellowing, making it the all-round choice for any vehicle. PCU (paint protection urethane) is focused on maximum stone-chip and impact resistance for high-impact zones and performance or racing vehicles.
Yes. The self-healing top coat on our TPU films lets light scratches and swirl marks recover with heat — from sunlight, a warm engine or warm water. Deep cuts that penetrate the film cannot self-heal.
WIKA TPU films use UV-stable, anti-yellowing materials designed to stay clear over the long term. Proper care and avoiding harsh solvents helps maintain clarity throughout the film’s life.
Yes. WIKA Satin Matte is designed to protect factory matte finishes while preserving their look. It can also turn gloss paint into a satin finish without a respray.
Installation & care
Wait 48–72 hours after installation, then hand wash with a pH-neutral shampoo. Avoid aiming pressure washers directly at film edges, and do not use abrasive polishes or harsh solvents on the film.
Yes. A ceramic coating designed for films can be applied over PPF once it has fully cured, adding extra gloss and easier cleaning. The two products complement each other.
When applied to healthy OEM paint and removed correctly by a professional — usually with gentle heat — WIKA PPF is designed to come off cleanly without damaging the factory finish.
