Over the entire period of operation of the car, scratches andchipped body parts are becoming commonplace. Wings, hood and bumper related to the front of the vehicle suffer the most. In order to protect them first of all from damage, a protective film is installed on the car. Anti-gravel transparent coating can be cast vinyl (PVC) or polyurethane, its thickness can vary from 100 to 200 microns. Each of these materials has both pluses and minuses.
Срок службы ПВХ-пленки - около 8 лет.Its feature is that it can glue the details of any complexity, even the whole. Perfectly lay down such a transparent protective film on the thresholds of the car. Its thickness is 100 microns. Despite its small thickness, it stretches perfectly and perfectly protects the car body from reagents and mechanical damage. It is applicable mainly to the urban environment and with long-term both partial and complex pasting.
Polyurethane material of such a plan is stronger andthicker than vinyl, but also surpasses the latter in price. Its service life is 4-5, sometimes 7 years. Its thickness is 100-250 microns. Such a protective film on the car is valued due to its good elastic qualities and thickness, which allows the best way to protect the body of the "iron horse" from damage. Of course, due to the special composition and high density, the operation of the film can not occur on complex geometric surfaces. She also did not glue the car entirely.
Зачастую используется такого плана защитная film on car headlights, which is one of its most vulnerable spots. Before applying to the work surface on the specially prepared contour-template, the plotter cuts the necessary amount of material, and only then it is applied to the parts and areas of the unit. Most often, the film is applied with the presence of intense mechanical loads.
Anti-gravel film material allowsto keep the car's paintwork in proper form, so that in the future there will be no need for its restoration, which will significantly save money. In addition, it is quickly and easily dismantled without any traces.
Particularly popular service car body coverprotective film from owners of new vehicles who are eager to preserve the ideal factory paint as long as possible. Installation of anti-gravel material is done in a very short time, sometimes just a few hours is enough. Professionals will process their wings, bumper, hood, rack and even mirrors with high quality.
Thanks to modern methods of applicationThe material task of one hundred percent car coverage has become doable. This technology is resorted to, if it is necessary to pay attention to especially frequent vulnerabilities of the aggregate. Increasingly, polyurethane or vinyl protective film on the car is used to prevent chips on the back of the vehicle. The properties of materials ideally correspond to their use for installation on devices that are operated even in special weather conditions.
The hood is most often affected by chipping.Its front end is damaged from rapidly falling into it during the ride of small stones that fly out from under the wheels of oncoming cars. Therefore, experts recommend first of all to take care of the protection of the paintwork of this part. It is best to glue it completely, but if there is a desire to save, it will be enough to process only the front part, somewhere 50-60 cm.
The thickness of the film material for the body is equal to100-150 microns, which corresponds to 0.1 mm. After a complex of works on lamination at a distance of 1-2 meters is completely not noticeable. A vehicle with protection is no different from the traditional one.
All types of anti-grit films have a specialspecial adhesive composition. It is designed with the aim to qualitatively cover parts that have a glossy surface, slightly rough or slightly developed matte. It is important to know that the adhesive composition of the material is weak enough, and sometimes its thickness may not be enough to penetrate into the rough layers of the matte surface. That is why the adhesive characteristics are minimal here when compared with glossy material. It is best to cover the car with a protective film of any kind to entrust professionals.
Protective transparent film material sinceinstallation will last an average of 5-7 years. It is advisable to install it immediately after the purchase of a new transport unit or used, but with a paint-and-lacquer coating in good condition. Pull off with this decision is not worth it. If the installation of such a material as a protective film on the car, is postponed, then there is a risk of multiple microcracks on the car body.
The use of film material is possible on anytransport parts - the threshold, headlight, hood, wheel arches, wings and other elements. More difficult is car pasting with a protective film on the bumper section due to the presence of many hemispherical parts and bends. But this difficulty is surmountable, the material is well stretched and makes it possible to process even the most difficult parts of the aggregate without seams.
Currently, many motoristsset on the hood of special protective deflectors from gravel damage, popularly called "fly swatter". But if the film material is installed, then there is no need for additional protection. Over time, a transparent vinyl or polyurethane coating is easily removed and leaves no traces. Also among its advantages can be attributed, and resistance to chemical attack, protection from UV light and the presence of water-repellent properties.
