Why you shouldn't cover the car body with a protective film: the experience of the experienced

Today there are a huge number of motorists who are deeply convinced that the film, put on the car body, can help protect it from minor scratches and damage. Allegedly, it is able to protect the car from not too neat pedestrians and even minor accidents, which have a custom to happen first of all in the parking lot. However, in reality, it is better not to use a protective film at all and here's why.

With a protective film on the car body, everything is not as simple as it might seem at first glance. This applies to both liquid rubber products and vinyl products. The main danger and problem lies in the fact that the process of applying this very protective film is not devoid of various kinds of "complications".

So, firstly, a protective film can only be applied to an ideal body - devoid of any damage with a fresh paintwork. If an area with a defect gets under the film, which in 9 out of 10 cases, after a few weeks it will turn into a powerful corrosion center that can destroy a representative metal segment.

Secondly, you should not apply protective films from unverified masters. Unfortunately, in our time, many "garages" offering such services are trying to save on the quality of the material used. As a result, the protective coating almost does not cope with its direct responsibilities. Moreover, low-quality, cheap films are extremely vulnerable to high temperatures and can become unusable even from the banal summer solar best.

Thirdly, before starting work, you should make sure that the special compounds used for application are compatible with the paintwork and body used. Unfortunately, there are not so few workshops as "specialists" neglect such a check. So, if it comes to stretching the film, it's better to check the issue yourself once again.
