A seamless alternative to traditional film.

Traditional paint protection film is cut and fitted panel by panel — which means seams, edges and lift points are part of how it’s built, however carefully it’s installed. Paint Protection Spray takes a different approach: instead of a pre-cut sheet, the protective layer is sprayed directly onto the vehicle’s surface and cures into one continuous coat.

It sits in its own category, distinct from both film and ceramic coating. Where a ceramic coating chemically bonds to the paint as a thin, glass-like layer mainly for shine and easier cleaning, PPS builds an actual sprayed layer over the surface — closer in spirit to film, but without the cut lines a sheet of material leaves behind.

What it does

  • Spray-applied directly onto the vehicle's surface, not a pre-cut film sheet
  • Cures into one continuous layer, with no panel seams or lift points
  • Available in gloss or matte finish
  • Helps guard against minor scratches, swirl marks and everyday wear
  • Repels water, dirt and UV exposure once fully cured
  • Professionally removable without damaging the factory paint underneath

Sprayed on, cured into one seamless layer.

PPS isn’t cut and fitted like a film sheet — it’s sprayed on by hand and cures directly onto the surface, so the finished layer follows every contour with no seams to hide.

  1. 01 Wash & decontamination The vehicle is thoroughly washed and clay-treated to strip away embedded dirt, wax and contaminants before any spraying begins.
  2. 02 Surface preparation Panels are polished and masked off so the sprayed layer only builds up exactly where it's meant to.
  3. 03 Spray application The protective layer is sprayed on by hand in multiple even coats, building up one continuous layer across the panel instead of a cut sheet.
  4. 04 Curing The sprayed layer is left to cure over the following days before the vehicle is handed back — the trade-off against film's same-day finish.

Choose the coverage that fits your vehicle.

Because it’s sprayed rather than cut into panel shapes, PPS is especially well suited to areas where film seams are hardest to hide — complex curves, mirrors and edges — as well as full-body coverage.

  • Full exterior body panels
  • Complex curves, mirrors and door handles — where film seams are hardest to hide
  • High-contact painted areas
  • Gloss or matte finish, selected before spraying begins
  • Other selected panels

Exact coverage depends on the selected service or package.

A clearer way to protect your paintwork.

No seams or panel lines

Because it's sprayed rather than cut and fitted, PPS cures into one continuous layer over the whole panel — including curves and edges a film sheet would need extra seams to cover.

Gloss or matte, your choice

Unlike a fixed film, PPS is finished after it's sprayed — so the same protective layer can be applied with either a high-gloss or a flat matte topcoat.

A different kind of protection

PPS builds an actual sprayed layer on top of the paint — closer in category to film than to a chemically-bonded ceramic coating — to help guard against everyday scratches and swirl marks, not just add shine.

Before you decide.

What is PPS, exactly?

PPS stands for Paint Protection Spray — a liquid-applied protective layer that's sprayed directly onto the vehicle's paint and cures into one seamless coat, rather than a pre-cut film sheet.

Is PPS the same as PPF?

They're related but not the same. PPF is a pre-cut film fitted panel by panel, with seams at the edges. PPS is sprayed on and cures into one continuous layer with no seams — the trade-off is a longer cure time before the vehicle is handed back.

Is PPS the same as ceramic coating?

No. Ceramic coating is a thin layer that chemically bonds to the paint mainly for shine and easier cleaning. PPS builds an actual sprayed protective layer on top of the paint — closer in category to film than to a coating.

How long does PPS take?

The spraying itself is done in one session, but the layer needs time afterward to cure fully before the vehicle can be collected — longer than a same-day film install.

Can PPS be removed later?

Yes — properly applied PPS can be professionally removed without damaging the factory paint underneath, the same principle as PPF.
