PQ paint protection film
PQ is a clear paint protection film option for vehicle bodywork. Coverage and installation are planned around the paint condition and the way your vehicle is used.

Coverage planned for your vehicle
For PQ film, panel planning matters as much as surface cleaning. Whether the aim is front-end coverage or a wider area, the scope follows a paint inspection. Existing stone chips and deep scratches may remain visible beneath a clear film. Coverage, any suitable correction and appearance expectations should therefore be discussed before the installation rather than left until the final handover.
Clean preparation and controlled fitting
Before PPF installation, the paint is cleaned and existing treatments are assessed. Film is prepared to suit the panel shape and positioned using an appropriate method, with air and liquid residues removed carefully. Edges, curves and joins are important parts of the result. Previously repainted or poorly bonded surfaces require a separate discussion about installation and eventual removal rather than being treated as identical to original sound paint.
Using and caring for the film
The surface and edges are checked after fitting, and initial washing and drying requirements are explained. Avoiding aggressive cleaning and keeping pressure-washer jets away from film edges matters. Any film areas showing marks or damage during use can be inspected as part of the care routine. Water behaviour and renewal requirements are reviewed against the chosen product and the vehicle’s conditions of use, allowing the care plan to follow the film’s actual condition.
