What is PPF and why is it recommended for high-end vehicles?
PPF, or Paint Protection Film, is a clear, durable film that protects your vehicle’s paint from scratches, chips, and stains. It’s especially recommended for high-end vehicles because it helps preserve the car’s aesthetic and resale value, protecting it from environmental elements, road debris, and minor abrasions.
How long does it take to wrap a vehicle?
The time it takes to wrap a vehicle can vary based on the size and complexity of the job. On average, it can take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days. However, at Grand Elite Motors we are known for delivering premium results which last longer than any shop. This process takes time. We’re often waiting several hours for parts to cure before moving on. For example, the oversized edges of PPF need time to cure before we can roll the edges for the showroom finish we’re known for.
