5 Signs It Is Time to Replace Your Old Paint Protection Film

Even the best paint protection films have a lifespan. Here are five signs that indicate it is time for a replacement:

1. Yellowing or discoloration — indicates UV degradation of the film 2. Peeling edges — adhesive failure allowing dirt and moisture underneath 3. Loss of self-healing — scratches no longer disappear with heat 4. Cracking or brittleness — the film has dried out and lost flexibility 5. Hazy appearance — the top coat has worn away reducing clarity

If you notice any of these signs, consult with your installer about replacement options. Our TPU Clear PPF series comes with a 5-year warranty to ensure long-lasting protection.
