PPF
The Essentials

What is Paint
Protection Film?

Paint Protection Film is a virtually invisible, high-performance polyurethane film applied directly to your vehicle’s painted surfaces. Originally developed for military use, modern PPF is now one of the most advanced ways to preserve a car’s finish — acting as a sacrificial barrier that takes the damage instead of your paint.

At Hypercare Automotive we exclusively fit premium STEK DYNOshield for industry-leading clarity, hydrophobics and self-healing performance.

  • High-impact areas — front bumper, bonnet and mirrors, the zones most prone to stone chips.
  • Partial coverage packages — tailored protection for the panels that matter most to you.
  • Full vehicle — complete, edge-to-edge protection for absolute peace of mind.

Why we choose STEK

The DYNOshield Difference

Not all film is created equal. The way STEK is manufactured is exactly why your paint will look clearer, stay cleaner and last longer.

Ultra Gloss Finish

A liquid-poured topcoat delivers a smooth, factory-like shine — with no orange-peel effect.

Super Hydrophobic

Contaminants lift away in water beads that roll off the panel, making every wash effortless.

Exceptional Durability

UV-resistant, anti-yellowing adhesives and 200µm of impact-resistant film built to last.

Self-Healing

Light scratches and swirls vanish with heat — sunlight or warm water restores the finish.

01

Clearer than competing films

STEK DYNOshield is 1mm thicker and still optically clearer — phenomenal clarity over factory gloss paint.

02

Nano-ceramic-infused topcoat

The proprietary topcoat is bonded as a liquid, giving extreme hydrophobic properties and an orange-peel-free finish.

03

Protective cap sheet

A “screen protector” for the film, torn off on installation so no dust or imperfection is ever trapped underneath.

04

Easier, gentler washing

Hydrophobics mean less friction and abrasion at wash time — keeping the finish underneath as pristine as possible.

Peace of mind

What If The Film
Gets Damaged?

Simple: the film is designed to take the hit, not your paint. That’s the entire point.

01

Minor damage heals itself

Light scratches and swirl marks disappear with heat from sunlight or warm water, thanks to the self-healing topcoat.

02

Deeper hits stay on the film

If the film takes a heavier knock — a stone chip or scuff — the PPF absorbs it while the paint underneath stays untouched.

03

Easy to replace

No full respray needed. The damaged section is safely removed and a fresh piece of film reapplied to restore a flawless finish.

04

No damage to your paint

Professionally installed and removed, PPF protects and preserves the factory finish underneath — it never harms it.

“If the film gets damaged, it’s done its job — we simply replace that section, and your paint stays perfect underneath.

Common question

PPF vs Ceramic Coating

They do different jobs — and many clients choose both for the ultimate result.

Physical barrier

Paint Protection Film

A thick, self-healing film that physically absorbs impacts before they ever reach your paint.

  • Stops stone chips & road debris
  • Resists scratches, scuffs & swirls
  • Self-heals light marks with heat
  • Replaceable section by section
Chemical shield

Ceramic Coating

A microscopic, glass-like layer that bonds to the paint, adding gloss, slickness and easier cleaning.

  • Adds deep gloss & water beading
  • Protects from UV, chemicals & bird droppings
  • Makes washing faster and safer
  • Does not absorb physical impacts

Worried about chips and want that slick, easy-clean finish? We’ll suggest PPF on impact areas and ceramic elsewhere — or ceramic layered over your film as an add-on.

Good to know

Frequently Asked

No. STEK DYNOshield is virtually invisible over factory gloss paint. Thanks to its liquid-poured, nano-ceramic topcoat there’s no orange-peel effect — just a smooth, factory-like finish with even greater gloss and clarity.

With professional installation and normal care, premium PPF protects your paint for up to 10 years. It carries UV-resistant, anti-yellowing adhesives so it stays clear rather than going cloudy over time.

Yes. Light scratches and swirl marks disappear with heat — simply parking in the sun or rinsing with warm water restores the topcoat to a flawless, swirl-free finish.

No — they do different jobs. PPF is a physical barrier that stops chips and scratches. Ceramic adds gloss, slickness and easier cleaning but doesn’t absorb impacts. Many clients choose both, often ceramic layered over the film.

STEK pours its hydrophobic topcoat directly onto the film rather than gluing layers together, so there’s no adhesive line to cause distortion or orange peel. STEK DYNOshield is 1mm thicker and still optically clearer than competing films.

The film has done its job by absorbing the damage. Minor marks self-heal; for heavier hits we simply remove the affected section and reapply fresh film — no full respray, and your original paint stays perfect underneath.

It depends on how and where you drive. Daily drivers usually start with the Partial or Full Front End; track and spirited drivers benefit from the Track Pack; and those wanting total peace of mind choose Full Vehicle. Tell us about your car and we’ll advise.
