About which wrap option is the best and how the two compare. In this article, you will find the answer. We hope to help you find the film that best suits your specific needs. First understand what is Paint Protection Film and Car Vinyl Wrap. What is Paint Protection Film (PPF)? Paint protection film (PPF, also called clear bra) is a nearly invisible, usually 7 mil thick, self-healing film. It is applied to the surface of your vehicle to protect your car paint from scuffs, scratches and gravel. In addition to this, it protects the car from UV rays and other negative environmental effects, protects the paint and prevents paint fading. 
What is Car Vinyl Wrap? Car vinyl wrap is a thin, flexible material made of PVC. It comes in different colors, finishes and textures. The vinyl wrap film has a specially formulated adhesive on the back that allows the material to adhere securely to the surface and take the shape of any application. Vinyl wrap is mostly used to change the look of a car. Thanks to the wide variety of colors and finishes, your options are nearly limitless. 
After roughly understanding, let's make a comparison between the two. PPF or Vinyl Wrap Purpose: As mentioned earlier, PPF and Vinyl Wrap serve slightly different purposes. The main purpose of PPF is to protect the paint of the vehicle from damage. Since the film is clear, it might make the car look a little brighter, however, you won't see any major difference in appearance. Because the film is designed to protect the surface, it is thicker than vinyl to really protect the paint from impact. And vinyl wrap can completely change the look of your car. The transformation that can be achieved with vinyl wrapping is incredible. You can go from white to black, add custom accents, cover chrome areas or add custom graphics. The main purpose of vinyl wrap is to customize the look of your vehicle, so this film was designed with that goal in mind. For this reason, it is thinner and more flexible than PPF. But Car Wrap Vinyl covers your car paint and also protects the paint from the negative effects of minor rock chips, bird droppings and UV rays. Conclusion: PPF or Vinyl Wrap? In short, there is no way to say which film is the best. Both are great and serve slightly different purposes. If you are looking for broad protection, PPF is the perfect choice. But if you mainly want to change the look of your car and protect it a little while driving, vinyl wrap is a great option. If you liked this article, take a look at Carlori Car Protection products.
