If you want the best possible protection for your vehicle’s paint, a PPF wrap is the top choice. PPF (Paint Protection Film) is a high-performance, self-healing polyurethane film applied over your car’s paint to shield it from damage. Unlike ceramic coatings, wax, or polish, a professional PPF wrap physically blocks scratches, stone chips, road debris, and UV exposure, helping your car look brand-new for years.
At HLWrap Auckland, we specialise in premium PPF wraps designed to protect your investment and enhance your car’s finish.

FAQs:
How long does a PPF wrap last?
A high-quality PPF wrap typically lasts 5–10+ years, depending on the film brand, vehicle usage, and how well it’s maintained. Premium films installed professionally can last even longer.
Can I wash and polish my car after PPF is installed?
Yes — you can wash your car normally once the film has cured (usually 48–72 hours). We recommend hand-washingand avoiding abrasive polishes or harsh chemicals to maintain the film’s clarity and hydrophobic finish.
What’s the difference between PPF wrap and ceramic coating?
A ceramic coating enhances shine and provides chemical/UV resistance, but it does not stop stone chips or scratches. A PPF wrap offers physical protection and self-healing properties. For ultimate results, many owners combine PPF + ceramic coating. We have a full detailed guide for PPF vs Ceramic Coating.
