Paint protection spray (PPS): keep your luxury car looking immaculate
By CARSIFU | 10 October 2024KUALA LUMPUR: For luxury cars, spray-on paint protection systems stand out for providing a finish that’s virtually indistinguishable from the original paint.
For example, Ngenco offers a cutting-edge spray-on system that allows for easy customisation and upgrades.
PPS, PPF, and Ceramic Coating: What you need to know
Ceramic Coating is a popular option for car enthusiasts looking to enhance the aesthetic appeal of their vehicles.
It adds a high-gloss finish that enhances the car’s appearance while providing a hydrophobic layer that repels water and dirt.
Additionally, it offers UV protection, which helps prevent paint fading from sun exposure.
However, its protection is limited when it comes to severe physical damage, such as stone chips or deep scratches, making it less effective against the more significant hazards of the road.
Therefore, while Ceramic Coating excels in aesthetics and maintenance ease, it falls short of offering robust physical protection.
PPF offers significant coverage against physical damage which includes minor scratches and stone chips, acting as a durable shield that preserves the vehicle’s exterior.
However, one of the drawbacks of PPF is that it can sometimes leave visible edges or seams, which can detract from the car’s seamless look.
Additionally, if not removed carefully, PPF could leave adhesive residue towards the car, damaging the vehicle’s pristine condition over time.
Despite these minor drawbacks, PPF remains a strong option for comprehensive paint protection.
PPS on the other hand, is the latest-generation paint protection solution which combines the benefits of Ceramic Coating and PPF whilst addressing their respective liabilities.
PPS provides a seamless, spray-on application that covers every inch of your vehicle with no visible edges or adhesive residue.
It protects your car from a wide range of damage, including stone chips, scratches, climatic conditions, bird droppings, and more.
The flexibility of PPS allows for easy repairs and customisation in terms of colour and finish, whether gloss or matte.
Designed for durability, it can be polished and sanded, maintaining its high-gloss appearance over time.
However, PPS requires a specialised application process, which is performed exclusively by authorised professionals.
This requirement for expert service can limit its availability, but it also ensures that the application is of the highest quality.
According to Kevin Chan, an avid car collector, PPS delivers results that are second to none, offering robust protection for your car paint.
“Owning a Porsche 993 and maintaining its aesthetics can be challenging. However, after discovering PPS and understanding its seamless protection with the vehicle’s original paint, I gained the confidence to invest in a solution that ensures long-term protection for the car’s exterior,” added Kevin.
Datuk Seri Rajagopal, a business owner who gained recognition as the first Harley Davidson CVO Road Glide owner in Malaysia, also shared his experience, highlighting that PPS offers a level of customisation that simply isn’t achievable with traditional methods.
It integrates features from other paint services, providing comprehensive protection with optimum durability, and long-term protection for your vehicle.
“Before discovering paint protection spray, I was constantly worried about the little nicks and scratches that come with driving. Now, I can enjoy the drive without worrying about imperfections. For me, PPS isn’t just about keeping the car looking great; it’s about peace of mind. It’s been the best decision - not just for the aesthetics, but for the reduced upkeep and long-term savings on paint repairs,” added Rajagopal.
