Paint Protection Film (PPF), also known as clear bra or paint protection film, is primarily designed and used to protect the exterior surfaces of a vehicle, especially the painted areas, from various forms of damage such as stone chips, scratches, and environmental contaminants. While it's not typically used on the interior surfaces of a car, there are some situations where PPF can be applied to specific interior components for protection against scratches and wear.
Here are a few scenarios where PPF might be applied to interior components:
High-Traffic Areas: Certain areas inside a vehicle, such as the door sill plates, center console, and dashboard, can be prone to scratches and scuffs due to frequent use. In some cases, PPF may be applied to these areas to prevent wear and tear.
Infotainment Screens: If a vehicle has a touchscreen infotainment system, some owners may opt to apply a clear protective film to the screen to guard against scratches and smudges. However, it's essential to ensure that the touch sensitivity of the screen remains unaffected.
Steering Wheel and Shifter: PPF can be applied to high-contact areas like the steering wheel and gear shifter to protect them from damage caused by rings, watches, or fingernails.
Interior Trim: In luxury vehicles with high-end interior trim materials like piano black or wood veneer, PPF may be applied to these surfaces to prevent minor scratches and maintain their appearance.
It's important to note that while PPF can provide protection to interior components, it may not be a common practice, and its use on interior surfaces is usually more limited compared to its widespread use on the vehicle's exterior. When applying PPF to interior surfaces, it's crucial to work with a professional installer who can ensure a proper fit and finish, as well as confirm that the film won't interfere with the functionality of any sensitive components.
