Of the exclusive eleven Bugatti dealers in the United States, Central California is home to three of them. This is undoubtedly due to the Coastal car culture and our penchant for valuing our exotic vehicles. If you’re rolling off the lot in a brand-new Chiron, you are taking extensive measures to keep it protected. Parking your Bugatti on your security-laden property, installing anti-theft devices, and shielding it from the elements are all a great start. Paint protection film is a great mobile option for keeping the two-tone paint details in pristine condition while you’re cruising. And, at Jet Black Tint and Glass, our PPF technicians are exotic car specialists with experience installing protective film and window tint on Veyron and Chiron Bugatti models. In today’s post, we’ll discuss just a few reasons that you may want to consider investing in paint protection film for your Bugatti.
First and foremost, the biggest benefit to paint protection film on stunning exotic cars like a Bugatti is that it is invisible. A second skin that’s applied on top of your car’s existing paint to honor the creative detailing and luxury enhancements your Bugatti offers. PPF simply seals in the existing paint and prevents scratches, fading, and other damage, while creating an easy-to-clean surface that shines.
The most common reason exotic car owners choose to get paint protection film installed in Central California is the debris that coastal highway driving churns up. While you may not find yourself stuck behind a semi as you weave in and out of traffic on the Pacific Coast Highway, loose sand, gravel, twigs, and discarded litter are all common culprits of vehicle paint assault. Chunks of salt and even the fine grit of sand put down to take snow off the roads can chip, crack, or scratch your paint.
PPF provides an invisible protective barrier between your paint job and these common road hazards. Instead of hitting your paint, the debris harmlessly hit the PPF — a galant fortress. If the debris is large enough to affect the PPF skin, it will self-heal, making paint correction a worry of the past.
PPF can also protect high-touch areas of your Bugatti, including door handles.
Paint protection film does more than protect against the damage caused by wayward debris and coastal sand. It can also help protect your car from California’s roads in other ways. Chemical damage is one of the most notable benefits. The salt and sand on the roads are riddled with both natural and added chemicals that are toxic to most surfaces. Unfortunately, these chemicals are also abrasive to your paint job and the rest of your car’s body. Over time, they can cause paint to chip away as rust spots bubble on your undercarriage. They may also cause premature weathering of the paint job. Chemicals that your Bugatti may be exposed to on California roadways include air pollution and environmental contaminants, natural sea chemicals, acid rain, and notorious bird droppings that seem to be highly corrosive. PPF protects your car from these chemical agents and so much more. In turn, your Bugatti will remain in runway shape for a lot longer.
Coastal rain and hail aren’t the only types of weather that can damage your car’s exterior. With more than the national average of sunshine, your Bugatti may be exposed to fading in the California sunshine. You’ve undoubtedly seen vehicles that are stored outside and have the appearance of a bald spot on the roof and hood, with signs of fading everywhere. The sun causes vehicle paint to fade over time, which leaves the paint job looking dull and uninspired. What’s worse, If the vehicle doesn’t receive even sunlight, you could end up with a paint job that’s a few different shades, resulting in paint correction services. And, as you are already well aware, there is nothing cheap about exotic car repairs in any capacity.
PPF stops the fading process before it even gets started. Its unique chemical properties allow it to block out the harmful UV rays that cause paint to fade the same way sunscreen or shade does on our skin. While you should still care for your Bugatti and consider inside storage, if you do like leaving yours on display in your driveway, you can rest assured paint protection film will keep your paint job looking brand new.
Finally, paint protection film makes it easy to keep your Bugatti looking its best. As mentioned, it protects against rocks and other debris, as well as protecting against fading, scratches, and chemical agents that could easily damage your paint job. It also makes the car easier to wash by keeping dust, dirt, and grime at surface level on water-wicking skin. You’ll be able to easily lather, rinse, and polish to a high shine in half the time it would take without PPF. If you want to maintain its fresh, off-the-lot look, PPF is the way to go.
Adding a ceramic coating to PPF can make it even easier to keep a vehicle clean as well. These coatings are often recommended on their own as protection against debris, tree sap, and other environmental hazards. Ceramic coatings don’t offer all of the long-term benefits of PPF, so the San Ramon crew highly suggests combining the two services. By combining the best of both worlds, your car will have the best protection available.
