Without adequate protection, the paint on the doors can easily get scratched, losing its original appearance and reducing the car’s value.DettaglioAuto offers various packages for protecting your car.

Common Car Door Damages
Car doors are subject to various types of damage, especially when driving on rough roads or near construction sites. Some common damages include:
- – Scratches: Scratches can be caused by various factors, such as simply opening the door with a set of keys in hand or long nails. They can also result from intentional acts of vandalism.- Rock Chips: While driving, rocks and debris can be thrown against the car doors, causing more or less deep marks and scratches on the paint.
– Dents: One of the most common causes, especially typical in crowded parking lots.
– Stains: Some atmospheric agents, such as pollution, bird droppings, or tree sap, can stain the paint on the doors if not cleaned promptly.

Types of Car Door Protection Available
There are several solutions available for protecting car doors. The most common solution involves purchasing rubber or plastic profiles to apply to the door edges. There are also bumper pads that can be applied along the length of the doors to protect them from dents. In both cases, the protection is visible and partial since the profile will be protected, but everything else, like the handles, will not be.If you want complete and especially invisible car door protection that covers the entire door without leaving any area exposed, the transparent protective film (PPF) is the protection for you. PPF is a transparent film applied to the paint of the doors to protect them from damage. This film is designed to be resistant to external weather conditions, scratch-resistant, and rock-resistant, and can be easily removed without damaging the underlying paint.The film is hydrophobic and oleophobic. Additionally, PPF, thanks to its self-healing property, can self-repair with the heat of the sun.

How to apply on car doors?
- Applying PPF on car doors is done by expert installers; DIY is not recommended as it is very easy to cause damage to the surface or leave dirt residues under the protective film.Firstly, the doors do not need to be disassembled. Once the surface is perfectly cleaned, removing dust and dirt that could settle under the film, and once the surrounding environment is perfectly cleaned, the PPF installation can begin.
With the help of water, a soapy solution, and various rubber squeegees that adapt to multiple shapes, the installers will apply the film over the entire surface, including the handles and the area beneath them.
All the edges will then be sealed, ensuring that even the profiles, one of the most vulnerable parts to impacts and damage, are protected.
Conclusion: PPF as Car Door Protection
- Car door protection is essential to preserve the appearance and value of your vehicle over time. With solutions like PPF, it is possible to provide effective and long-lasting protection without compromising the car’s aesthetics.By choosing PPF, you can decide whether to protect the entire door, preventing any type of damage, or to protect only the edges, one of the most vulnerable parts to impacts and damage. You can do all this without compromising the appearance of your car, as our films are completely transparent and have the advantage of enhancing the underlying color, making it more vibrant and deeper.
