Whether you own a new, a luxury or a classic car, or if you are simply an automotive enthusiast, installing a paint protection film (or PPF) on your vehicle is the best way to safeguard your asset and keep it in optimal condition over the long term.
Here is an overview of the best paint protection films with Groupe Irenode, with a distribution centre in Victoriaville and a network of installers across Quebec!
What is Pain Protection Film?
A paint protection film acts as a transparent shield that protects your vehicle’s exterior and paint from various external aggressions, thereby helping you maintain it in optimal condition for many years.
Protection Against Stone Chips, Scratches and the Elements
Once you hit the road, the paint on your car is exposed to all kinds of projectiles (road debris, gravel, insects, etc.) and weather conditions (even in clear skies with UV rays!) which can potentially damage your car’s exterior finish.
Over time, if this damage is not addressed, it can even cause rust, corrosion, and more significant issues.

How to Install Paint Protection Film?
For a paint protection film to be effective, it must be installed according to the best methods!
Surface Preparation and Vehicle Cleaning
Before proceeding with the installation of a paint protection film, the surface must be thoroughly cleaned to ensure that no dirt or other residues are “trapped” under the installed film. The body should also be completely dry before installation.
Precise Application of the Film
The film must be installed with great attention and precision to ensure maximum adhesion and durability.
Drying Time and Maintenance After Installation
Allowing the paint protection film proper time to dry is as important as the previous steps. Allow a minimum of 24 hours to dry and wait at least 3 days before washing your car.
Entrust the Installation of your Paint Protection Film to the Experts at Groupe Irenode
Since proper installation of the paint protection film guarantees optimal performance, it is recommended to entrust an expert with the installation.
The Importance of a Certified Installer
When your film is applied by a certified installer, it is designed to last for several years, according to the selected product. This is the best way to maximize your investment.
Suntek Films
We offer Suntek films that come with generous manufacturer warranties, ranging from 5 to 12 years. Do not hesitate to contact us to learn more!
Paint Protection Film: Maintenance and Lifespan
If you are considering a paint protection film, you may also have researched nanoceramic treatments. Irenode offers a PPF Reaction film, which combines the advantages of both nanoceramic and traditional paint protection films.
Tips to Extend your Vehicle’s Protection
Professional installation is undoubtedly the best way to prolong the durability of the selected protective film and ensure its adhesion over the long term.
Cleaning Frequency and Recommended Products
You can clean your vehicle as frequently as usual. It is recommended to avoid pressure washing to prevent the film from lifting. Water, mild soap, and a microfibre cloth are sufficient. It is advised to wax the film to maintain its appearance, but contact us to learn more about waxes suited for PPF.
How Much Does it Cost to Install a Paint Protection Film?
The price of the film depends on several factors, but the return on your investment is well worth it!
Factors Influencing Price
The cost can vary according to your vehicle and the surface area to be covered. For example, a small car will cost less than a full-size SUV. Similarly, the larger the area to be covered (bumpers only versus full coverage), the more film will be used, and the higher the price will be.
The quality of the product also influences its price.
Return on investment and long-term savings
One thing is for sure, choosing a quality film will allow you to save in the long run on body maintenance and the resale value of your vehicle.
