Just like tint, PPF is installed with a combination of water and slip solution. We also use a tack solution which is designed to assist the film into sharp curves and body lines.

The product is made of several different layers, all of which work together to make the product carry the relevant unique protection qualities. The material is friendly, lacks any VOC's and is friendly to work with. The layers consist of a polyester release layer, acrylic adhesion, polyurethane layer and a protective topcoat.

Yes and no. It is dependent on what panels are being wrapped. Edges that have a rolling edge such as bonnets, doors and the top lip of the fender will be wrapped and hidden. Where there are edges that cannot be wrapped due to the finish of the panel edge, the film will be finished on the flat face about 1-2mm from the edge of the panel.  It’s important to note, darker paintwork hides edges of the film more. You can feel the edges, but not see them.

Just like tint, PPF is installed with a combination of water and slip solution. We also use a tack solution which is designed to assist the film into sharp curves and body lines.

Yes you can. Using boiling water, cover the film and begin peeling an edge. Start pulling the film back on a 90 degree angle ensuring you hold tension to avoid leaving adhesive behind. This is also achievable using a heat gun, steamer or even a hairdryer. Applying heat will help to loosen the adhesive and in turn make the film removal easier. While it is achievable to remove film this way, we will always recommend you bring the vehicle back to Two Step Detailing as we are trained and know the safest removal techniques.

PPF has a flexible component in their film called thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) A combination of hard and soft co-polymers reacts to rebind and retain their shape causing the film to reseal and heal themselves with the assistance of heat. As long as the scratch doesn’t exceed the top layer of the film, run boiling water or a hot hair dryer over the surface scratch and watch it disappear. Alternatively leaving the vehicle in the warm Australian sun will have the same effect.

PPF will help hide light scratches, however PPF only creates a bridge over the paint lesion and causes light to refract and seemingly “fill” the gaps. If you have a deep scratch, we can still apply the film over the top. The film will not hide the scratch but it will protect it from the elements. However we would suggest discussion correction options with the Two Step Detailing team to see what can be done before the PPF goes on.

Extremely well. Not only will the film repel up to 97% of UV Rays but more importantly it eliminates oxidation which is what more commonly affects the appearance of your paintwork fading long-term.

No, BushWrapz has an impressive adhesive bond that is strong enough to hold to paint for many years but can also be removed. Your paint will be in the same condition as the day the Paint Protection Film (PPF) was applied. Note: We do not recommend you install PPF on your vehicle if you have had any resprays as the paintwork integrity is most likely compromised.

The main reason is the quality of the overall installation. By bringing us the vehicle we have the ability to control and minimise the amount of external factors which have an impact on our finished product such as light, temperature and cleanliness.

CAN:

• PH neutral wash 
• Detailers spray 
• Hand polish without a cutting compound 

CAN'T:

• Petrol or acid based cleaners 
• Silicon products 
• Heavy degreasers 
• Pressure washers that wash to closely (Actually it's the human behind the lance so please stay 1m away from film edges - warranty does not cover accidental mechanical/tool removal - trust us when we say we know what this looks like!) 

Application time depends on the area and how much of the vehicle you are covering. Application times range from 1-5 days depending on the surface area. Sorry but these things can't be rushed - we will communicate with you on a regular basis and advise as and when the different stages come together.

You most definitely can polish, wax and clay the film as you would your normal paint. The better you maintain the film, the longer your PPF will maintain its self healing and stain resistant properties. PPF can also be corrected like paintwork, but we recommend this be done by a professional detailer like Two Step Detailing. Over time the PPF can have contamination build up, by “cleansing” the PPF you can increase the aesthetics of the film.

Think about it like this – have you ever tried wrapping a basketball in wrapping paper? It’s impossible right. The same applies for PPF. Any shape with multiple curves going in different directions will only ever achieve a limited amount of coverage unless of course the film is joined or relieved.

We will ask for an image of what we are wrapping or to sight the vehicle first so we can explain the limitations of the film and set realistic expectations before commencing work.

The key to shiny PPF in years to come, is good maintenance. We recommend the following:

1. Wash the vehicle regularly, recommended monthly using PPF specific detergents.
2. Ensure you adhere to the two bucket wash method
3. Ensure you thoroughly wash your vehicle after off road trips, ensuring mud and contaminants are removed as soon as reasonably possible. 
4. Spot clean bird dropping within 24 hours.
5. Give your vehicle a thorough detail once a year. Use a clay bar to remove build up and contamination on the PPF. You will feel that as the grit is removed, the PPF becomes smooth and easier to clean. 
6. If you are concerned about water spotting or a reduction in the appearance of your PPF, it can be brought back to a high shine by visiting an experienced detailer like Two Step Detailing. Ask us about buffing the film with PPF specific products on a low speed, to bring back the shine. 

Yes, if you are washing your vehicle regularly and maintaining it often then rest assured the PPF will outlast any warranty.

n short - absolutely no way! We have done enough research to know this is a waste of time and $$. We know the cost of ceramics is often high, however the two can't mix if ceramics are already on the vehicle. We can however install IGL Shield on top of PPF but that's a topic for another day.

Unfortunately it has to come off and at your cost :( this ensure you gain the benefits of PPF whilst not affecting your warranty...contact us for more info and or pricing.

You absolutely can, but we ask that you wait a minimum of 30 days after getting a respray before applying PPF. This is to ensure that the clearcoat and paintwork are completely cured and degassed - this is where any solvents have escaped and then panel is hard enough to work with. If you continue with a wrap within the first 30 Days then you run a high risk of pulling paint on installation OR when you go to remove the film in future. This affects your warranty and as a rule Two Step Detailing may choose to not apply PPF to your vehicle.

Vinyl is usually applied for stylistic improvements with minimal protection. Vinyl will protect the paint from the harsh UV rays however it does not eliminate the risk of stone chips, scratches or water stains.

A Ceramic Coating is a liquid polymer that is applied to the exterior surfaces of a vehicle. After application, it chemically bonds with the vehicle’s factory paint, establishing a layer of protection. A ceramic coating carries hydrophobic qualities and adds to the overall shine of the paint work. Despite the wild claims of some manufacturers and installers, a ceramic coating does not reduce the risk of stone chips, scratches, nor water spots.

Paint Protection Film (PPF) isn’t just any protective option; it’s your vehicle’s best friend! Thicker than ceramic coatings and vinyl, PPF serves as a robust barrier against the elements. What sets it apart? Its incredible self-healing capabilities! When faced with scratches or indentations, in most cases and under individual circumstances, PPF magically returns to its original state, something ceramic coatings and vinyl simply can’t do.

This means PPF can absorb stone chips, fend off scratches, and resist water stains without a permanent mark in sight. If you want the toughest, most reliable protection for your vehicle, look no further—PPF is here to keep your ride looking its absolute best!
