Without Films for the car the body would have to be frequently repainted and polished. This process is quite expensive and not fast. Few people want to drive a car with minor damage that will become noticeable over time. In addition, body wear also depends on this.
In addition to protection against scratches and chips, the film creates a reliable layer against burnout of the paint coating, and also prevents the negative impact of insects and birds in the summer.
Types of films and their applications
Transparent films are mainly used, so they are suitable for any color of the car.
Films can be of two types - vinyl and polyurethane.
The vinyl film has a thickness of 100-200 microns. It is quite strong and durable. Its service life is 5-7 years.
More durable polyurethane film. Its thickness does not exceed 200 μm, but it provides protection of the car's surface in difficult off-road conditions. The cost of such a film is high, but it pays for itself by not needing to paint.
Usually, headlights, door sills and the front part of the body are covered with a film. These places are the most vulnerable to damage, and the headlights must always be transparent.
Application of anti-gravel film
Before gluing the anti-gravel film, it is necessary to prepare the working surfaces. Any dirt and small defects must be removed so that the film can then be applied without defects. For this, washing is carried out using special brushes. They can remove dirt, wax residues, bitumen and other impurities even from hard-to-reach places. Then light polishing is performed for new cars and restorative for cars with mileage.
Only after the preparatory stage can you proceed to pasting the body and headlights. A soap solution is applied to the surface, a film is placed on top, and the soap and air bubbles are smoothed out with a squeegee.
The process ends with natural drying in a room where temperature and humidity are controlled.
In addition, nanoceramics can be applied to the film. It provides a repellent effect for mud and water.
It is best to entrust the gluing of the anti-gravel film to professionals. They have a lot of experience in performing similar works. In addition, the film is expensive, and it can be damaged when pasting it yourself.
