At Lucid PPF, we install premium paint protection film (PPF) on high end, performance, and daily driven vehicles across Leeds and Bradford. Our expert team uses SunTek Reaction to deliver invisible protection against stone chips, scratches, road debris, and UV damage while preserving your car’s showroom finish.

You're Here Because:

You just bought a car you care about maybe brand new, maybe used but special to you. Now you want to protect it. You've heard of paint protection film (PPF) and ceramic coatings, but you're not sure what they do, which is better, or if it's even worth it.

You're thinking:

• "Is this smart or just overkill?"

• "What happens if I do nothing?"

• "Why the hell does PPF cost £5,000?"

Let’s break it all down.

What's the Difference?

PPF (Paint Protection Film)

• A thick, invisible urethane layer applied to your paint.

• Protects against stone chips, scratches, road debris, swirl marks.

• Self healing top coat with heat (sunshine or hot water).

• Lasts 5 to 12 years depending on the manufacturer

Ceramic Coating

• A liquid polymer applied to your paint.

• Adds hydrophobic effect, deep gloss, and UV resistance.

• Makes cleaning easier, but does NOT stop chips or deep scratches.

• Lasts 2 to 5 years.

PPF is armor/a physical protective barrier. Ceramic is wax on steroids.

Why PPF Costs More

You're not just paying for a product. You're paying for:

• Manual installation, panel by panel

• Custom patterning and edge wrapping

• Premium film brands (XPEL, SunTek, STEK) - We never use cheap budget films like many of our competitors!

• Clean room conditions, dust free & climate controlled

• Experienced, certified installers

It’s a labour intensive process, high stakes work. Done right, it’s invisible. Done wrong, it looks like crap and doesn’t last.

The Real Questions Going Through Your Head (And Honest Answers)

“Do I really need this?”

If you park in car parks, drive on motorways, or follow lorries, your paint will get damaged. Period.

“Isn’t ceramic cheaper?”

Yes. But it doesn’t stop physical damage. It’s for gloss enhancement and ease of cleaning. That’s it.

“Will this still matter in 3 years?”

PPF keeps your original paint intact. Repainting lowers value. Chips = rust. This is insurance for your finish.

“What about resale?”

Buyers pay more for original paintwork, some respays can be obvious and devalue the car. PPF protects your car’s resale value and avoids awkward repaint questions. If the PPF is damaged it can be removed, the paint underneath will be pristine, the cost to replace damaged ppf is significantly cheaper & faster than repainting the car

“What if something goes wrong?”

We will fix it! We give you a comprehensive warranty, use trusted film brands, and log the install for insurance claims.

What Pushes Most Buyers to Choose PPF

• They plan to keep the car 3+ years and they have had it before and trust it implicitly

• They want peace of mind over every chip and scratch

• They drive long distances or in high risk environments

• They’ve been burned before (stone chip, repaint, regret)

• They just dropped £70K on a car and want to keep it flawless

"I'd rather protect it up front than regret it every time I wash it."

Still Not Sure?

Here’s what we recommend:

• PPF your full front end at minimum it’s the most exposed area.

• Add ceramic coating on the rest of the car for gloss enhancement and ease of cleaning, our SUNTEK Reaction film has the ceramic coating built into the topcoat.

• Ask us for a full walkaround we’ll show you previous jobs, demo damage scenarios, and let you see and feel the difference.

You’re not just buying film. You’re buying:

• Time

• Peace of mind

• Preservation

• Resale value

• Satisfaction, that new car look every time you walk up to it
