Why invest in PPF?

Investing in PPF for a vehicle is a proactive measure that car owners can take to protect their investment and keep their vehicle looking its best.

Superior Protection: PPF provides a high level of protection for your vehicle’s paintwork against chips and scratches caused by stones and other flying debris.

Self-Healing Property: High-quality PPF like Xpel Ultimate Plus offers self-healing properties. This means minor scratches can repair themselves under heat exposure, keeping the car’s surface always looking like new.

Preserves Resale Value: By keeping the car’s paintwork in pristine condition, PPF helps preserve the vehicle’s resale value.

Professional Installation: With our highly skilled installers, customers can be assured of a seamless and professional application.

UV Resistant: PPF prevents discolouration and damage from harmful UV rays, helping to keep your vehicle’s paint colour vibrant and fresh.

Easy to Clean: With its smooth and stain-resistant surface, PPF makes car cleaning easier as dirt and grime do not stick as much.

Preservation of Original Paintwork: PPF is applied directly to the original paintwork, allowing it to be protected and preserved without alteration.

Long-Lasting: High-quality PPF can last for years, making it a cost-effective solution for long-term paint protection.

Invisible Protection: PPF is virtually invisible and doesn’t alter the look of the vehicle, ensuring the original aesthetic is maintained.

Removable: If needed, PPF can be removed without causing damage to the original paintwork underneath.

Paul and Matt are an absolute pleasure to deal with, originally a referral from a colleague they did an amazing job restoring the tired paintwork of a 911. 5 years later, I’m a repeat customer who wouldn’t go anywhere else, even the family car gets the Auto Curator treatment!

I recently acquired a handmade British sports car that has a reputation for being a stone chip magnet given the amount of time they tend to spend on race tracks so decided to invest in some PPF more or less as soon as the car was handed over by the dealer. I received 2 totally independent recommendations for Paul at Auto Curators so reached out accordingly. Not having knowingly seen a car with PPF applied I mentioned this to Paul who was happy to invite me over and talk me through the whole process whilst he had a Ferrari F8 up on the ramps. I was very grateful for this and the investment of his time sealed the deal for me accordingly. Paul clearly has a massive amount of pride in the work he does and I'm really pleased with the results of the PPF that he has applied. Once I got the car home I spotted a minor imperfection in the PPF which may well have been a result of the very hot weather that the car experienced after leaving Paul's air conditioned workshop. Without any complaints Paul was happy for me to bring the car back a few weeks later and for him to fix the imperfection whilst I waited with a cup of tea. Paul clearly attracts a lot of business through his reputation and the quality of work that he delivers. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Auto Curators to anyone. Paul is a diamond in an industry full of sharks.

Found Paul via the Xpel website, reviews looked perfect. Went to see him, and he (and Matt) answered my endless questions verbally and via message, even went back a second time to check more finished work - outstanding - I was convinced so booked. I had my brand new Audi R8 delivered to him for full cover PPF and ceramic coat and it’s just perfect. The finish of the PPF is invisible with a high gloss finish. So, so impressed with the service, price and finished product. I can’t recommend Auto Curators enough. I will be sending my RS3 to him next. Thanks Paul and Matt. 10/10

Blown away by the work and the very reasonable price. I had PPF applied to my carbon fibre side blades and rear quarters, replacing the poor quality and damaged OEM PPF, fantastic job. Highly recommend

Paul and his team worked wonders on my 911, bringing it up to as new, they genuinely care about the work they do. I have no hesitation in recommending them as a first rate detailer.

We've just had our 5th car (a McLaren 600LT) detailed by Paul and as usual, it's stunning! This time we opted for the self healing Xpel paint protection film + ceramic coating on the bits not covered in film. Not only is the detailing of our cars always first class, it is always a real pleasure meeting up with and talking to Paul at Auto Curators. It's refreshing talking to someone who is not only very talented and vastly experienced but also extremely passionate about what he does. We've also had Aston Martins and BMW's detailed and the paintwork depth of shine in particular is remarkable after Paul's work. If you want your car detailed, you've come to the right place!

FAQs

Isn’t PPF used to protect really expensive cars?
Not at all. Any vehicle owner (or driver) can benefit from the installation of this superior protective product.

Perhaps your vehicle is financed through a PCP or Lease Contract Hire. PPF can help protect your vehicle and eliminate the risk of extra charges when you return it to the dealership.

Or, if you upgrade your car regularly, buying and selling privately. PPF can demonstrate to potential purchasers that you have cared well for your car.

If you regularly leave your car at a train station or airport car park, PPF can help prevent scratches and damage to your car while parked.

I’ve heard that PPF installation is expensive. Isn’t vinyl a cheaper option?
To be honest, this is like comparing apples with oranges. Paint Protection Film and vinyl are two very different products.

Vinyl offers less protection for the paint against abrasion and impact, compared to PPF. It’s also still quite fragile itself and can tear or become damaged itself, if scratched badly. On the other hand, PPF is much thicker and tougher. Finally, the self-healing properties are unique to PPF.

In short, it’s true that PPF is an investment. However, we offer a range of competitively priced coverage options, starting at £395 inc VAT, for partial front end coverage.

How do I know that Auto Curators will do a great job of installation?

We are Xpel PPF factory-trained installers, based in the picturesque village of Rotherwick, Hampshire. Close to Hook & Basingstoke.

Most importantly, all our installations are covered by a ten-year warranty that can be serviced nationwide.

How long will you need my car if I want PPF installed?
This depends on the type of coverage you opt for.

Installation time will depend on the coverage selected. Typically we will need your car for 1-2 days for a front end install, up to 3-4 days for more extensive coverage, or particularly involved installs. We will discuss this with you at the time of booking.

For your convenience, we can offer a courtesy car service during your PPF installation (subject to availability).
