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.


Interested? Contact Longford Auto Art in Swindon and we’ll help you choose the right PPF package for your car and budget.
