What Is Color PPF?

- 🛡️ Real protection from rock chips, scratches, and road grime
- 🔁 Self-healing properties that repair light scratches with heat
- 💧 Hydrophobic finish for easy maintenance
- ☀️ UV protection that prevents fading and paint damage
It’s like armor for your car—with a stylish twist.
