Car paint protection is a strategic choice to preserve the appearance, value, and finish of a new or recent vehicle. In Quebec, stone chips, salt, sand, insects, and frequent washes quickly put your car’s body to the test. A PPF film acts as a nearly invisible physical barrier between the road and your vehicle’s body paint.
With LLumar PPF, Groupe Irenode expands its range of protective films by offering a premium brand recognized for its finishes, surface technologies, and durability. The goal is simple: help each customer choose the right car paint protection based on use, budget, expectations, and the desired finish.
LLumar protection films
LLumar protection films are designed to shield the most vulnerable areas of a vehicle: hood, bumpers, fenders, mirrors, underbody, door sills, or the full body. Depending on the selected series, the film can maintain the original finish, add a matte effect, provide a glossy black finish, or strengthen resistance to contaminants. These are the key differences between ceramic coating and PPF.
LLumar also offers clear options that blend into the paint, which means you get full body protection while preserving your vehicle’s look.
Self-healing technology
Some LLumar series feature a self-healing surface. Light marks and micro-scratches can diminish with heat from the sun or the engine, which helps the film maintain a cleaner appearance for longer.
Tested and proven products
LLumar PPF is engineered to resist common road risks: rocks, debris, salt, sand, insects, and grime. This makes it a relevant solution for vehicles driven year-round in Quebec.
Warranty and durability
Depending on the series, LLumar offers limited manufacturer warranties of up to 10 years. Exact conditions vary by product, installation, and applicable restrictions.
LLumar PPF series

The different LLumar PPF series
The different LLumar PPF series provide a level of protection that is distinct from a nanoceramic treatment for cars. Here are the details:
Valor series
The Valor series is a high-end option for drivers who want to combine protection, optical clarity, and simplified care. It is a self-healing surface that provides added defense against acid rain, bird droppings, and tree sap.
Ideal for: recent vehicles and drivers who want premium, very comprehensive car paint protection with a discreet finish.

Black series
The Select Black series targets customers who want to protect their vehicle while changing its appearance. This film turns the visible body colour into glossy black and can be used on a hood, mirrors, accents, stripes, or the full body. It is more resistant and more protective than a black vinyl wrap, and it offers better value than custom paint.
Ideal for: automotive appearance enthusiasts who want a more protective alternative than traditional black vinyl.

Platinum Extra series
The Platinum Extra series focuses on robust protection, a glossy finish, and strong stain resistance for extreme conditions. It integrates HydroGard technology, which helps repel moisture, dirt, oil, tar, and insects.
Ideal for: drivers who cover many kilometres and want a durable, clear, easy-to-maintain LLumar paint protection film.

Platinum Gloss series
The Platinum Gloss series maintains the vehicle’s original shine. Its glossy finish blends well with factory paint, even when applied only to specific zones.
Ideal for: owners who want a transparent automotive protective film with a factory look and reliable protection against daily aggressors, such as rocks, road salt, sand, dirt, insects, and oil.

Platinum Matte series
The Platinum Matte series protects while delivering a satin or matte finish. It can preserve the look of a vehicle that is already matte or transform glossy paint into a more understated finish.
Ideal for: luxury vehicles, special editions, or styling projects where design is as important as protection.

Gloss and Matte series
The Gloss and Matte series offers a more accessible solution to protect high-risk areas and preserve the vehicle’s appearance for years. It is available in glossy or matte finishes, depending on the look you want, and can be applied to targeted zones or more broadly.
Ideal for: customers who want effective, flexible car paint protection that fits their budget.
Tetrashield technology: OEM-approved protection
Tetrashield technology is associated with the most advanced LLumar films. It reinforces the film’s surface layer to improve resistance to stains, contaminants, and visible wear. For the customer, the advantage is simple: the film looks better for longer, even under demanding road conditions.
This matters to buyers who want a durable solution, not just aesthetics. In a decision-making process for automotive PPF in Quebec, surface technology becomes a key factor, especially when the vehicle is exposed to calcium, sand, and repeated washes.
HydroGard technology: simplified maintenance
HydroGard is a hydrophobic finishing layer used on several LLumar films. It helps water and some contaminants adhere less to the surface. Result: easier cleaning, fewer stains, and the vehicle keeps a clean appearance more easily.
This technology is particularly useful for owners who want protection without adding a complicated maintenance routine. A self-healing automotive film with a hydrophobic surface therefore offers a good balance between performance, appearance, and ease of use.
