CAR DETAILING CORRECTION & PROTECTION
At Lucid PPF our team specialises in professional machine polishingโan advanced paint correction process designed to eliminate swirl marks, oxidation, holograms, and light surface scratches. This multi-stage procedure refines the clear coat, restoring depth, clarity, and gloss to the paintwork.
To protect the corrected finish, we apply Gtechniq Ceramic Coating, a chemically bonding, silica-based coating that forms a durable, hydrophobic layer. This barrier enhances gloss, repels contaminants, and provides long-term resistance to UV damage, road grime, and harsh weatherโdelivering protection that lasts for years.

What is Ceramic Coating leeds, and how does it protect my car?
Ceramic coating, when applied using Gtechniq products, offers high-end protection for your carโs paintwork. Gtechniq coatings chemically bond to the surface, creating an ultra-durable, glossy layer that shields against UV rays, bird droppings, tree sap, and harsh road grime. Their formulas, like Crystal Serum Ultra and EXO, are designed to offer long-lasting performance with exceptional water-repelling properties, making maintenance quicker and easier. Dirt struggles to stick, and the deep gloss finish keeps your car looking freshly detailed. That said, ceramic coatingsโeven Gtechniqโs top-tier optionsโwonโt stop stone chips or physical damage. For that, youโd need Paint Protection Film. Ceramic is about maintaining appearance and resisting the elements, not taking hits.
What are the benefits of Paint Protection Film (PPF)?
Using high-quality SunTek PPF, you get a thick, self-healing urethane layer that physically defends your paint against stone chips, road debris, scratches, and scuffs. It also protects against staining and yellowing from environmental contaminants, all while maintaining a near-invisible finish. SunTek films are designed to absorb impact, heal light scratches with heat, and preserve your carโs appearance without compromising style. For full protection, pairing SunTek PPF with a Gtechniq ceramic coating gives you the best of both worldsโimpact resistance and long-term surface protection.

How does car detailing improve the appearance of my vehicle?
Car detailing significantly improves the appearance of your vehicle by restoring and enhancing both the exterior and interior surfaces through a meticulous, multi-step process. On the exterior, paint decontamination, machine polishing, and paint correction remove oxidation, swirl marks, and fine scratches, bringing out a deep, glossy finish. Proper cleaning of wheels, trim, and glass sharpens the vehicle's overall presentation. Interior detailing removes embedded dirt, stains, and odors from upholstery, leather, and carpets using specialized tools and products, restoring a clean, factory-fresh look. High-quality protectants and coatings are applied to preserve these results and add long-term durability. The outcome is a vehicle that not only looks dramatically better but also maintains its value and resists wear more effectively.
What areas of my car can be protected with Paint Protection Film?
Paint Protection Film (PPF) can be applied to almost any painted surface of your car, but it's most effective on areas that take the most abuse. Common coverage includes the full front endโbumper, hood, fenders, side mirrors, and headlightsโto protect against rock chips, bugs, and road debris. Rocker panels, lower doors, and rear wheel arches are also key spots, especially where gravel and salt get kicked up. A-pillars and the front edge of the roof are often covered to prevent highway damage, while door edges, handle cups, and the top of the rear bumper are protected from everyday scratches. For full coverage and the most seamless protection, some owners opt to wrap the entire car. High-quality films like SunTek PPF are self-healing, stain-resistant, and nearly invisible when installed right, making them ideal for long-term paint preservation.

is paint correction required before fitting ppf?
If youโre a high-end car owner considering Paint Protection Film (PPF), youโve probably wondered: Do I need paint correction before applying it? The short answer isโnot always. At Lucid PPF, we specialise in premium detailing and PPF installation across the North of England, and hereโs the real story. Paint correction removes swirl marks, light scratches, oxidation, and other defects through machine polishing. It enhances gloss and clarity, but itโs not a must for every car. If your paintwork is new and in great shape, we can prep and install PPF without correction. If there are visible imperfections, we may suggest a single-stage polish to improve the surface before film goes on. Since PPF is clear, it locks in whatever condition the paint is in at application. Some installers push paint correction whether itโs needed or notโoften to pad the bill. We donโt. At Lucid, we inspect your car under proper lighting, then recommend exactly whatโs requiredโnothing more. Our process includes a decontamination wash, clay bar treatment, optional polish, panel wipe, and precise film installation. Whether itโs a supercar fresh off the lot or a used performance model, we treat each vehicle individually. Paint correction isnโt a one-size-fits-all requirement. Itโs about what your car actually needs to get the best finish under the film. For expert advice and tailored protection in Leeds, York, Manchester, Cheshire, or Merseyside.

DIY PPF Is it Worth the Risk?
DIY PPF kits might seem like a budget-friendly option at ยฃ500โยฃ2,000, but they come with serious downsides. The patterns are often generic, poorly cut, and donโt fit properly leading to misaligned edges, exposed paint, and a messy finish. On top of that, the film quality is usually subpar, lacking self-healing, UV protection, or clarity. PPF installation isnโt just a weekend jobโitโs a skill, a black art that takes years to master. Trying to install it on your driveway or in your garage guarantees dust, dirt, and contamination under the film. The result? Air bubbles, lifting edges, and film youโll end up ripping off and binning. One slip, one stretch too far, and you're buying a whole new kit. Worse still, poor installs can tank your carโs resale valueโespecially if itโs a high-end marque like Porsche or BMW. Professional PPF is done in a clean, controlled environment with precision-cut film, expert hands, and a full warranty. At Lucid PPF, we deliver flawless, long-lasting protection across Yorkshire and Northern England. Skip the headache. Call 01274 082216 and get it done right the first time.

Should You Buy GardX from a car Dealership?
If youโve just bought a new car, thereโs a good chance the dealership offered you GardX (also known as CX2) as an optional extra for paint and interior protectionโusually priced between ยฃ400 and ยฃ700. Itโs sold as a barrier against UV rays, grime, bird droppings, and spills, but the real-world feedback tells a different story. Car forums are filled with negative reviews, with many owners reporting inconsistent application and underwhelming results. In some cases, customers have paid for GardX only to later discover it was never applied at allโraising serious concerns about quality control and dealer integrity. Unlike GardX, professional ceramic coatings like Gtechniq are applied by trained detailers who properly prep the paint, correct defects, and apply the coating in a controlled environment. The result is a high-gloss, long-lasting finish backed by a proper manufacturer warranty. If youโre serious about protecting your vehicle and getting value for your money, skip the dealership upsell and go to a specialist who does it right. For more detailed information read our BLOG.
How much does Ppf actually cost?
In the Leeds area, professional Paint Protection Film (PPF) installation typically ranges from ยฃ1,000 to ยฃ4,000+, depending on the level of coverage and the quality of film used. Hereโs a rough guide:
Front-End Package (bumper, bonnet, wings, mirrors): ยฃ1,100 โ ยฃ1,600
Extended Front / Track Pack (adds A-pillars, skirts, rear splash zones): ยฃ1,600 โ ยฃ2,200
Full Vehicle Coverage: ยฃ3,500 โ ยฃ4,500+
While some shops advertise lower prices using brands like Gyeon or Profilm, our hands-on testing and industry experience show these films fall short. They lack the clarity, durability, and self-healing properties expected in professional-grade protection. In contrast, SunTek and XPEL are proven market leaders. They offer crystal-clear finishes, advanced self-healing, strong stain resistance, and long-term durability backed by proper warranties.
If youโre serious about protecting your investment and want a finish that holds up under real-world use, donโt cut corners with second-tier film. Choose a detailer that uses SunTek or XPEL and installs in a clean, controlled environment for the best possible results.
