We’re here to tell you about PPF services and why they’re useful, window tinting applications and why they’re not just for racing car enthusiasts or celebrities, and engine remapping to make the heart of your vehicle as powerful as it can be. Follow these top three ways to keep your car in the ultimate good condition and when it comes to selling your vehicle you’ll have absolutely no problem.

Protecting The Exterior & Interior

Paint Protection Film is growing in popularity and over the last decade has seen an increase both in production and in application. Originally designed for army helicopters to protect from debris during the Vietnam war, car enthusiasts realised that this thermoplastic urethane sheet could be applied to cars, motorcycles and even smaller electronics to protect our most expensive possessions from chips, scratches and other damage we encounter on a daily basis.

And so PPF for cars was created. Slimmer and more streamlined for the shape of vehicles, PPF is now installed by factory-trained professionals only, of which there are but 2 in the Dorset area. This simple yet effective sheet will protect against contaminants and daily damage throughout your car’s life, ensuring the paint never gets chipped, rusts or bubbles.

For your interior, think window tinting. Yes, you may not be famous – you might even be popular and want to communicate with the outside world as you are driving around, but you also want to protect your skin, upholstery and personal effects when you’re parked.

Window tinting is no longer simply aesthetic – in fact more and more people are turning to window tinting to put off car thieves, to protect themselves on long haul drives from UV rays and to save their seats and decorations from sun damage and fading.

Reaching Your Car’s Potential

With the inside and outside pretty much covered through paint protection film and window tinting, it’s time to focus on the power of your car. Now most, if not all manufacturers will install a certain set amount of data on the car computer depending on which country it’s being sold in and what type of terrain and laws rule there. However, legally this can be overridden to provide a smoother, faster journey. It’s called Engine remapping and it is becoming increasingly popular throughout the UK as people want to personalise their vehicles.

Engine remapping – firstly – will need to be reported to your insurance company, as it involves changing the settings on your car’s computer. But by doing so, you can achieve more horsepower, more fuel efficiency and better driving all-round. Cover these 3 tasks, PPF, Window tinting and engine remapping and see what a difference it makes to your vehicle.
