Discover PPF ↓Invisible armour
Paint protection film is a virtually invisible polyurethane layer applied over painted and carbon-fibre surfaces. It takes the punishment that would otherwise reach the finish beneath.
Modern PPF is exceptionally clear, flexible and self-healing. Light marks in the film can disappear with warmth, while the original paint remains visible underneath. If one area is badly damaged, that section can usually be replaced without refinishing surrounding panels.
The Adept standard
PPF exposes every shortcut. Preparation, lighting, temperature, pattern accuracy and edge finishing all determine whether the result disappears into the car—or distracts from it.
Every Adept installation takes place inside our dedicated Cheltenham studio. Precision-cut manufacturer patterns are our starting point, then coverage is adjusted where appropriate to improve the fit. On suitable panels, edges are extended or wrapped for a cleaner, more integrated finish.
Choose by buying situation
A new-car collection, regular motorway miles, a valuable factory finish or a car that needs something entirely bespoke. Start with the situation that sounds like yours—not a list of film packages.
Choose the situation closest to yours. We'll show the most relevant starting point, the problem it solves and likely cost.

Protected panels shown in teal
Ideal if you are collecting a new car or want to prevent the stone chips that appear first across the front end.
High-impact protection
Focused protection for the panels that absorb the greatest punishment from road debris, without covering the whole vehicle.
Coverage includes
New cars, daily-driven performance cars and regular motorway use.
Extended road protection
Adds the wing mirrors and side sills to the complete front-end package for more rounded protection against road debris and wear.
Coverage includes
European tours, motorway use and regular performance driving.
Complete exterior protection
Consistent protection and appearance across the vehicle's external painted and eligible carbon-fibre surfaces.
Coverage includes
Supercars, rare vehicles, collectors and long-term ownership.
Made for the individual car
Patterns are created or adapted around the individual vehicle, panel geometry and exact protection requirement.
Coverage includes
Classics, custom vehicles, rare bodywork and specialist projects.
Prices are starting points and depend on the vehicle, film, panel complexity, paint condition and preparation required. The final scope and price are confirmed after inspection.
The installation process
The finish is decided long before the first piece of film reaches the car. Every installation follows a measured process from inspection to final handover.
We assess the vehicle, its paint and how it will be used before agreeing the right coverage and finish.
The car is carefully washed and decontaminated so no bonded material is sealed beneath the film.
Where appropriate, paint defects and existing chips are addressed before the finish is protected.
Precision-cut patterns are selected for the model, then adjusted where better coverage can be achieved.
Film is applied inside the controlled bay, with close attention to stretch, curves, trim and edges.
Every panel is inspected under specialist lighting before handover, warranty and aftercare guidance.
One technology.
More than one finish.Film and finish
Preserves the original colour while enhancing clarity and gloss. The most discreet protection.
Creates a smooth, factory-style frozen appearance without permanently changing the paint beneath.
Combines a colour transformation with more protective capability than conventional vinyl.
Eligible interior trim, carbon fibre, screens, high-contact areas and windscreen film.
Choose with confidence
Each product solves a different problem. The best result begins by choosing around the outcome—not simply the material.
Choose PPF when the priority is defending paint against stone chips, light scratches and road debris.
Choose ceramic when the priority is gloss, hydrophobic behaviour and easier routine cleaning.
Choose vinyl when the objective is a reversible colour or finish change rather than impact protection.
Selected work
New supercars, daily-driven performance models and hand-built classics all demand the same thing: protection that respects the design rather than announcing itself.
We regularly work with Porsche, Aston Martin, Ferrari, Lamborghini, BMW, Mercedes-AMG, Audi and Land Rover vehicles, alongside cherished classics and individual specialist projects.

Clear gloss PPF is designed to be extremely discreet and can enhance surface gloss. Satin and coloured films intentionally change the finish. You can compare physical samples and completed installations at our Cheltenham studio.
PPF is designed to be removable. Safe removal depends on the condition and quality of the paint beneath it, particularly where a vehicle has previously been repaired or repainted. We recommend professional removal when the time comes.
PPF preserves the condition beneath it, so correcting swirls or defects first can produce a better result. Not every vehicle needs extensive correction; we inspect the paint and recommend only the preparation required.
No film can make a car damage-proof. PPF absorbs minor abrasions and reduces damage from normal road use, but a sufficiently heavy impact can penetrate it. A damaged panel of film can often be replaced independently.
Yes. A compatible ceramic coating adds hydrophobic behaviour, makes routine cleaning easier and helps maintain the finish. It can be included within your installation quotation.
Yes. Customers travel to Adept from across the UK, and secure collection and delivery can be arranged through our vehicle transport network. This is priced separately according to location and vehicle requirements.
Absolutely. Visit the Cheltenham studio by appointment to compare finishes, inspect current installations and try our self-healing PPF demonstration unit.
