WHAT IS PAINT PROTECTION FILM?
Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a clear, durable film made from polyurethane, designed to safeguard your vehicle’s paint from various forms of damage. This protective film acts as a physical barrier against stone chips, minor scratches, and other external elements that can mar your car’s appearance. Thanks to its transparent nature, PPF offers invisible protection, ensuring that your vehicle’s aesthetics remain unaffected.
One of the standout features of PPF is its stain resistance, which makes maintaining your car’s appearance a breeze. The film is also UV-resistant, preventing it from yellowing or degrading over time, thus ensuring long-lasting protection. Moreover, PPF can be removed without causing any damage to the underlying paint, making it a flexible and reliable option for car owners.
By opting for a professional installation of one of our paint protection films, you can enjoy numerous benefits, including:
-
Protection from Stone Chips and Minor Scratches: Keep your car’s paint looking new by preventing common types of damage.
-
Invisible Protection: The film’s transparent nature ensures it doesn’t alter your car’s appearance.
-
Stain Resistance: Makes it easier to clean and maintain your vehicle.

Customer Testimonial: Mike Rawlings - Oct 2024
"I purchased a new Porsche 718 GTS and was shopping around to see what prices were and get a feel for which company to trust to complete the paint protection film and ceramic coating. I'd been recommended another Bristol based company but felt their prices were very high, especially as they were not using what I believed to be the best film on the market from my research.
I'd not heard of Autotrilogy until I found a thread on Pistonheads recommending them and suggesting people to get in contact with Damien. I called the following day and went to take a look at their work. Damien is very knowledgeable and friendly. Any questions I asked were answered in full and a written quote given.
UK Damien arranged covered transport for my Porsche from the dealership to Autotrilogy. Once there the car underwent paint correction, full PPF and ceramic coating.
I was nervous, having not used Autotrilogy before but they absolutely smashed it out of the park. The level of reflection / gloss... whatever it's called is ridiculous and I'm writing this review well after the works been done and still no regrets."

HOW WE INSTALL PAINT PROTECTION FILM
Our 10 Step Installation Process Explained.
We pride ourselves on providing a comprehensive and meticulous installation service for your PPF.
Here’s a detailed guide to the steps involved, including some key information for anyone considering paint protection film for their car.
Step 1 - Initial Inspection
Our team begins by conducting an initial inspection of your vehicle to assess its condition, checking for any existing damage or imperfections.
This is important because any scratches or dents can impact the quality of the final result.
Step 3 - Remove Swirl Marks
If your car has any minor scratches or swirl marks, we will perform a paint correction to ensure that the surface is smooth and even before applying the paint protection film.
This step is crucial because any imperfections on the surface can become more visible once the film is applied.
Step 5 - Vehicle Surface is Prepared
We then move your car to our climate-controlled detailing bay, where we carry out a rigorous preparation process to ensure that the paint protection film adheres properly to the surface.
This includes using specialised cleaning agents and a clay bar to remove any remaining contaminants that might prevent the film from adhering properly.
Step 7 -Climate Controlled Environment
After the film has been installed, we let it settle for 24 hours in our climate-controlled room.
This allows the film to bond properly to the surface, ensuring that it provides optimal protection.
Step 9 - Final Checks
We carry out a thorough quality control check to ensure that the installation has been carried out to our exacting standards.
We check for any imperfections, bubbles or peeling of the film, ensuring that your car is protected to the highest possible standard with a clear coat of invisible protection.
Step 2 - Wash, Clean & Inspect
Your car is then taken to our dedicated wash bay, which is equipped with all the necessary tools to ensure that the vehicle is cleaned thoroughly and safely.
We use specially formulated cleaning agents such as tar and glue remover, fall out remover, and snow foam to remove any contaminants from the surface. The car is then dried using a touchless air dryer to prevent any scratches or swirl marks.
Step 4 - Film is Cut Ready for Application
Using our state-of-the-art computerized cutting machines, we create the templates for the paint protection film based on the specific make and model of your vehicle.
This ensures that the film fits perfectly on every surface, providing complete coverage and protection.
Step 6 - Paint Protection Film is Installed
Our highly trained technicians apply the paint protection film to each panel, taking care to wrap the edges wherever possible for a seamless fit.
We use a technique which allows us to install the film in large sections, reducing the number of seams and creating a smoother finish. The goal is to make sure the film is almost invisible whilst preserving the original colour.
Step 8 - Ceramic Coating?
If requested, we can apply a ceramic coating to your car's paintwork to provide an additional layer of protection against UV rays, dirt, and grime.
Ceramic coating is highly durable and provides a long-lasting, high-gloss finish.
Step 10 - Hand Over Day!
We hand over the keys to your newly protected and polished vehicle.
With Autotrilogy's paint protection film installation service, you can rest assured that your car will be protected from scratches, chips, and other types of damage for years to come.
