What is PPF and its benefits?
[back to table of contents]
Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a transparent film applied to all exterior painted parts of the car, as well as internal parts such as glossy painted areas, the so-called “piano black” surfaces, and displays. PPF is made of thermoplastic polyurethane, a highly durable material resistant to abrasions and chemical agents. Additionally, through its self-healing property, the film is able to repair itself under a heat source, eliminating scratches and micro-scratches, even simply by leaving the car exposed to the sun.
Here are its main advantages:
- Protection against scratches and superficial damage
- Resistance to scratches from impacts with road debris and gravel
- Protection from UV rays, weather elements, and pollutants that can fade the paint
- Super hydrophobicity improves water runoff, facilitating washing for lasting cleanliness
- Maintaining the car’s original appearance over time
- Enhancing the car’s resale value
- The PPF is guaranteed for 10 years

Why is it essential to protect prestigious cars, like the BMW M4, with PPF?
[back to table of contents]
The BMW M4 is a prestigious sports car, protecting its bodywork is essential to preserve its value and impeccable appearance over time. PPF offers complete protection against scratches, road debris, gravel, and other agents that could damage the bodywork. In addition to this fundamental aspect, PPF facilitates the maintenance and cleaning of the car by drastically reducing the number of washes thanks to its hydrophobic property.
Protecting a prestigious car like the BMW M4 allows preserving the original paintwork of the car, maintaining its high resale value over time.
How does PPF protect against stone chips and scratches?
The PPF works as a real shield for the car’s bodywork; it can absorb the impact of stones, road debris, and other objects that could cause damage. Thanks to its impact resistance and self-healing capabilities, the PPF can protect the car’s paint from scratches and superficial marks, thus maintaining a flawless surface.
Application process of PPF on the BMW M4

This type of service needs to be carried out in a closed and clean environment to work at room temperature and avoid any contamination during the film application process.
Below are the main steps of the process performed on the BMW M4:
- As the first step, we thoroughly washed the car using a decontaminating wash to remove any traces of dirt.
- Then, we dried the vehicle and prepared the surface by applying a specific product that ensures optimal adhesion of the film.
- Using a plotter (a machine used in this case to cut shapes based on digital data provided by a computer), we pre-cut the film into the exact model shapes of the BMW M4, allowing us to work safely and reducing the use of knives on the car.
- We then applied all the pre-cuts to the vehicle using a soapy solution.
- Finally, we sealed all the edges of the film by heating them with a heat gun.
The PPF application process is a professional procedure that must be carried out by industry experts to ensure a lasting and high-quality result.
Maintenance and care of the PPF
[back to table of contents]
The PPF film is relatively easy to maintain thanks to its hydrophobic property. DettaglioAuto customers who have opted for one of our PPF protective film packages are entitled to a discount on our car washing services.
We recommend washing the car once a month using our Express Wash service and once every 4 months performing our Nano Detailing maintenance wash, a more thorough wash where we reintegrate the hydrophobic property using our specific product, also useful for maintaining all the other properties of the film.
If you prefer to wash the car yourself, we recommend using a gentle detergent with a soft glove. Harsh detergents or tools are not necessary as dirt does not adhere to the film. Additionally, if using a pressure washer, it is possible to do so at a distance of no less than 30 cm from the edges of the film to avoid lifting it due to excessive pressure.
