Let’s face it, re- painting a damaged vehicle is expensive, repairs also damage re-sale value of the vehicle.

Statistics suggest, you will lose an extra 5% value on your car for repairs to prior damage, or up to 15% for current minor damage which has not been repaired.

Even with re-sale of your vehicle, the next person can enjoy a peace of mind knowing the paint has been and is still currently protected by a strong self-healing film*.

AAG can protect your vehicle WITHOUT removing a single panel.

The clear film will not alter the way your vehicle is presented, and it is SELF HEALING.

PPF is also replaceable at any time if damage has occurred.

How do we protect your car without removing any panels?

Here at Auto Artisan, we use designated protection film templates specific for your choice of vehicle. See images below example of a Nismo GTR.

However, it doesn’t end here….

We are artisan’s, this means we will go above and beyond to ensure we find better ways to utilise the template.

In many cases this means, we will create our own methods to tailor the film to fit around your car.
See the images below which refer to custom methods we use to make sure your vehicle is perfect.
We use reputable good quality brands such as Suntek Films and provide a film guarantee of 5 to 10 years.

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PPF AND CERAMIC COATING?

Paint Protection Film (PPF) and Paint Coating are very different. Below are some quick explanations;

PPF is a clear film that is wrapped over the top of your paint. It’s purpose/abilities are listed below.

• Protect the original paint under the protective film
• Self healing
• Strong & durable
• Replaceable at any time if damage has occurred.

Ceramic Coating is designed to;

• Increase shine
• Create hydrophobic effect
• Provides greater ability to “buff out” damages
• Enhance UV protection to existing paint
• DOES NOT – stop stone chips OR stop anything that causes deep gouges or scrapes.

We do NOT use low quality films can discolour and turn yellow over time, or films that have the “orange peel” effect which minimises shine.

If you want cleaning to be a “thing of the past”,

Use PPF and Ceramic Coating together.
