High-quality paint protection film with self-healing technology. Protect your car from stone chips and get peace of mind on the road.
Paint protection film is a type of thermoplastic polyurethane film that shields vehicles against rock chips, scratches, and environmental damage. Compared to ceramic coating, it has better protection against heavy physical damage.
When installing paint protection film (PPF), the installer's skill and the workshop environment matters. An inexperienced installer can ruin even the best of films, and cost more in repairs later on.
At Auto Complex, we understand that your car is an investment. We have only done PPF over the last 10 years in Bayswater North and surrounding areas, and most of our work comes from happy customer referrals. Most of our team holds Avery Dennison paint protection film qualifications with stringent training and assessment.
Having someone do a “backyard job” on your PPF can result in yellowing, peeling, and a PPF that just looks bad. We’re proud to have served car owners in Bayswater North with honest work and expert advice. All PPF at Auto Complex comes with a 7-year warranty.

Paint protection film, also called PPF, is a clear urethane layer applied over your car's panels. It's thick enough to absorb impacts that would otherwise chip or scratch your paint, such as stone chips, road debris and light scratches. The film is designed to be removed and replaced, so after years of use it comes off, while the original paint stays pristine.
Neither is better. They protect against different things. A ceramic coating is a chemical barrier and cannot protect against stone chips and scratches. If you drive on gravel, tow, or cover long highway distances, film is the right answer. If you commute on sealed roads and keep the car under cover, a coating does the job.
Yes, within limits. The top layer of the urethane reflows when it's warmed, so light surface marks such as wash swirls and scuffs around door handles disappear. However, even the best-quality PPF cannot heal a deep cut, a tear, or damage that has gone through the top layer. That's damage to the film itself, and the fix is replacing the film on that panel.
Paint Protection Film (PPF) must be applied before ceramic coating, as the slick, water-repellent surface created by ceramic coating can prevent the PPF adhesive from bonding properly to the paintwor
Once the PPF is installed, ceramic coating can be applied over the film to provide an additional layer of protection, make cleaning easier and enhance the vehicle's gloss.
Together, PPF and ceramic coating help protect your vehicle while maintaining that beautiful, new-car shine for years to come.
Yes, and that's a large part of why it's so popular. PPF is designed to be removed and replaced, which means a car that's spent years on gravel roads under film can be stripped back to paint that was never exposed. That's something a ceramic coating cannot offer, since a coating has to be polished off, and whatever happened to the paint underneath cannot be reversed.
