Intro
If you’ve just bought a new car, congrats. Now it’s time to protect it properly. At Longford Auto Art, we get asked all the time: "Is PPF worth it for a new car?" Here’s our honest answer.
Why New Cars Need PPF
Protects your factory paint from chips, scratches, swirl marks
Maintains resale value by keeping the bodywork immaculate
Invisible protection - no one can see it’s there
High-Impact Zones to Protect
If you’re not going for full-body coverage, we recommend protecting:
Front bumper
Bonnet
Side mirrors
Arches
Door edges
Real Cost vs Long-Term Value
Yes, PPF has an upfront cost, but it’s far cheaper than:
Respraying stone-chipped panels
Losing value at resale
Getting paint correction every few months
Final Word - Is PPF worth it?
If you care about your car’s condition, plan to keep it for a few years, or want a clean finish when you sell, PPF is worth every penny.
