Stone Chip Protection Films

PVC or PU – the right film for the right spot

• PVC film (e.g. ORAGUARD 270) – affordable and tough for heavily stressed edges and wear zones: door edges, handle recesses, the loading edge of the boot, sill plates. Not self-healing, replaced as planned.
• PU film (polyurethane, e.g. ORAGUARD 2815) – the premium class for large areas: front bumper, bonnet, fenders and mirrors. Self-healing, stays invisible and lasts many years – priced accordingly.

Where is film worth it first?

Start where the paint suffers first: at the edges. Door edges, handle recesses and the loading edge take most of the everyday scuffs – an affordable PVC film like ORAGUARD 270 is the ideal entry point. Then follow up with the large areas – front, bonnet, mirrors – in self-healing PU film.

Gloss, matt or black?

The classic protection film is crystal clear and keeps your paint's look. There are also matt variants for a satin finish and black, textured films for trim and edges.

What does stone chip protection film cost?

You buy it by the running metre – affordable PVC edge film costs a fraction of premium PU for large areas. If you apply it yourself, you only pay for the material.

Apply it yourself or have it done?

Edges and individual areas can be applied yourself with a little patience – we supply the material and the know-how. A full wrap with deep-drawn contours is a job for a professional installer.

Durability & care

PVC edge film is a planned wear part and is simply renewed after a few years; self-healing PU film on large areas lasts considerably longer. Neither needs special care – wash as usual.
