What PPF actually does

The last line of defence
between your paint
and everything else.

Paint Protection Film is a clear, impact-resistant urethane film applied to your vehicle's painted surfaces. It sits between your paint and the outside world, absorbing stone chips, scratches, road debris and car park damage before they reach the paint underneath.

Once stone chips occur they cannot be reversed without repainting. PPF prevents the damage before it happens.

PPF and ceramic coatings do different jobs. PPF handles physical impact. Ceramic handles chemical protection, UV and ease of cleaning. Most of our best results combine both.

What PPF protects against
  • Stone chips and road debris at freeway speed
  • Scratches and scuffing from everyday use
  • Car park and shopping trolley damage
  • Off-road abrasion and gravel roads
  • UV degradation to paint over time
  • Minor chemical contamination
Why Adelaide conditions make it worthwhile
  • Intense UV summers accelerate paint degradation faster than most of Australia
  • Freeway and rural driving increases stone chip frequency significantly
  • Ongoing road construction across the metro area
  • Barossa, McLaren Vale and Hills driving on loose chip roads

Had a competitor's ceramic coating from new and couldn't have been less happy. Ten months later, Tom and Dylan undertook the awful task of removing it and applying PPF instead. Amazing attention to detail and the best after-sales service.

I came here for ceramic coating, tint and PPF. I was a bit scared at first to leave my brand new car with someone but Tom made me feel very comfortable. The PPF is very seamless and all the scratches are gone.

His attention to detail is second to none. Extremely knowledgeable and always happy to answer questions. He removed all the swirl marks and applied PPF along with a coating that left the finish looking incredible.

The film

STEK DynoShield.
Our preferred film
for most vehicles.

8mil, self-healing, anti-yellowing, 12-year warranty. Preferred does not mean it is the only option. Different vehicles suit different products and we use what is right for your car.

After working in this industry for some time, we understand what these films are, where they come from and how they perform over time. That knowledge led us to build direct relationships with manufacturing partners in Korea and China, giving us access to high-quality TPU film solutions that may be better suited to certain applications or vehicle types. The film is not necessarily less expensive. It is simply a better fit for some situations.

Every job is cut on a Graphtec FC9000, one of the most accurate cutters available. Cleaner edges, better fit, and less risk to the paint during installation.

STEK DynoShield
  • 8mil thickness for industry-leading impact resistance
  • Self-healing top coat that repairs minor surface marks with heat
  • Anti-yellowing formula that maintains optical clarity over time
  • 12-year manufacturer warranty
  • Compatible with ceramic coating applied directly over the top
Our sourced film range
  • Korean manufactured TPU film for clients who want comprehensive protection with a film chosen for performance over brand recognition. 10-year warranty
  • Chinese manufactured TPU film, selected specifically for windscreen PPF, sunroof protection, headlight and taillight tinting where optical clarity and conformability matter most. 10-year warranty

Two ways to install it.
One standard of preparation.

The preparation process is identical regardless of the install method chosen. Paint assessed, decontaminated, corrected where needed. The method changes the level of coverage and finish refinement, not the standard of work.

Template install

Pre-cut precision.

Patterns designed specifically for your vehicle model. Excellent coverage, clean edges and strong value. The right choice for most vehicles.

Bulk install · Price on application

Extended coverage.
Bespoke level.

Our preferred method for owners who want maximum protection. Template patterns are extended by 30mm to achieve a greater area of coverage. Panels are removed for cleaner edge wrapping and every edge is post-heat treated for a permanent bond. This is the most time-intensive process we offer and the most thorough. Priced individually based on vehicle and scope of work.

Common questions
Can you see PPF once it is applied? +
With a quality install and quality film, no. A proper custom install means no visible seams, no lifted edges, no panel lines. You see the car, not the film.
When should I get PPF? +
Before the first drive ideally. Every kilometre without film is unprotected paint. PPF can go on at any point and paint is assessed and corrected first if needed. It is never too late, but sooner is always better.
Template or bulk install. Which is right for my car? +
Template is excellent value and covers most vehicles well. Bulk install takes the template patterns and extends them by 30mm for greater coverage, with all panels removed for cleaner edge wrapping and every edge post-heat treated. It is our preferred method for owners who want the most thorough result. We will recommend which approach makes sense for your vehicle and how you use it.
Does PPF void my manufacturer warranty? +
No. PPF is a removable film applied on top of factory paint. It does not modify the vehicle and does not affect any manufacturer warranty.
PPF or ceramic coating. Which do I need? +
They do different jobs. PPF is physical protection that stops stone chips, scratches and impacts. Ceramic is chemical protection. Hydrophobic, UV resistant, optically enhancing and easier to clean. Applied together they cover everything the other does not. Most of our best results start with PPF on high-impact areas and ceramic over everything else.
How long does PPF last? +
STEK DynoShield carries a 12-year manufacturer warranty. Our sourced Korean and Chinese TPU films carry a 10-year warranty. With proper care, hand washing and no high-pressure jets directed at the edges, the film will go the distance. Most vehicles we installed four or five years ago still look as good as the day they left the workshop.
What is the difference between Korean film and STEK? +
STEK DynoShield is a premium branded film with a 12-year warranty, strong market recognition and a proven track record in the Australian market. Our Korean sourced TPU film is manufactured to a high specification at the factory level and in many cases comes off the same production lines as branded products. The difference is not necessarily quality. It is the brand name on the box. We offer both because some clients value the brand and warranty term of STEK, while others are more interested in getting the right film for their specific application at the right price.
The craft

Mercedes-Benz AMG GT.
Satin conversion.
Edge detail.

Close-up footage of the satin PPF edge finish on an AMG GT 4-door. This is what a proper invisible install looks like at the most critical point. The wrap, the heat treat, the result.

Every edge on this car was hand-wrapped with panels removed. No shortcuts, no excuses.

As soon as I met Tom, I knew I had found the right place. Gave me options, explained the process and was more than happy to answer questions. First time getting paint correction, ceramic coating and PPF done properly.
