The Importance of Car Paint Protection

Protecting your vehicle's exterior offers a significant advantage for both aesthetics and long-term value. Paint protection helps prevent the paintwork from fading, scratching or losing its value, especially in sunny, busy cities like Izmir. It's also one of the most effective ways to maintain your car’s resale value by choosing the right protection method.

Car Paint Protection Methods

1. PPF (Paint Protection Film)

PPF is a highly transparent, flexible TPU film layer applied over your car's paint. This layer protects the surface from stone chips, insect remains, chemical stains and light scratches.

PPF (Paint Protection Film) is an invisible, flexible layer of TPU film applied over your car’s original paint. Thanks to its high impact absorption, it takes the marks left by road conditions on its own surface, and your car’s paint stays as it was on the first day.

Among today’s PPF products, the Throne Gard ranges offer both gloss and matte finishes for different preferences. Fine scratches on the treated areas improve with heat over time thanks to a self-healing structure.

Fine scratches on the surface repair themselves with heat. PPF always looks new.

Advantages of PPF

  • Prevents colour fading and provides a UV barrier.
  • Absorbs stone chips and microscopic impacts.
  • Extra resistance against bird droppings, insect residue and sap.
  • Available in gloss or satin matte finish for a seamless look.
  • Fine scratches self-repair with heat.
  • The paint beneath the PPF remains original, helping preserve resale value.

Because the paint under the PPF stays original, your car’s resale value is kept at the highest level.

2. Window Tinting

While it does not offer direct protection for paintwork, window tint gives important benefits for interiors and trim. Oracal NT Plus window film blocks 99% of IR and UV rays, minimising interior fading and the risk of surface wear caused by sunlight. The result is a cooler, longer-lasting cabin.

Oracal NT Plus window film: 99% IR blocking, 99% UV blocking.

When choosing window tint, consider legal shade limits, your intended use and safety. Professionally fitted tint is important for both workmanship and safety.

Paint Protection Application Options in Izmir

What to Consider During Application

  • Original Product Use: The authenticity of the PPF used makes a significant difference. Only original Throne Gard products are applied at Royal Class Garage.

At RoyalClass Garage, we use only original, licensed Throne Gard products.

  • Digital Pattern (PreCut) Technology: All vehicles are protected using officially licensed digital templates. The film is cut for each car in advance; no trim is removed, and there is no freehand or random cutting. This application is important for the safety and aesthetic integrity of your car.

We never remove parts from the car; thanks to PreCut software technology we apply the film with original licensed patterns.

With Throne Gard PRECUT we use the car’s panel patterns and cut the film on a machine before installation. We install without removing parts from the car. We do not cut freehand with a blade on the car.

licensed original cutting patterns are available at our company.

  • Testing and Checks: Films can be tested for impact resistance and scratch protection using specialist tools. Sample comparison and test results can be demonstrated to clients, ensuring a transparent process.

We have test devices for impact, damage, scratch and gloss tests. If you can bring a PPF sample from the other wrapping companies you are talking to, we test the products side by side and you see the difference live, understand what you are paying for and choose the right PPF for your car. Since companies know we run these tests, they have stopped giving out samples; still, if you can get one, we would be glad to test it with you.

Authenticity and Warranty Tracking

  • Licensed Product Detection: After Throne Gard PPF is applied, shining a UV light on your car will clearly reveal the authenticity licence on the film. This is a secure solution to prevent counterfeit product issues in the sector.

An end to being let down by fake clear products in the industry! With authenticity licences inside the clear PPF on your car that show up under UV purple light, you are 100% covered.

  • Warranty and Recording: All processes are digitally recorded for each part of the car, showing which technician worked on each section and when, creating a secure archive. Your warranty can be tracked independently of the manufacturer. If the car is sold, the warranty is transferable and provides information and support for the new owner.

When the car is sold, the warranty is passed to the new owner through a transfer. We call the new buyer, let them know their warranty continues and invite them in for support.

The Throne Gard warranty card comes with your car’s film installation record and the warranty lookup process. It gives you a record you can turn to after handover, too. Using your warranty card number, you can view your product and warranty details on the online lookup screen. On the digital record screen you can see the product applied, the warranty start and end dates, the parts treated and the branch that carried out the work.

We record which of our installers covered which part and what time they started and finished, with their full name and signature. This information is archived in our database.

Application Steps

  1. A digital template is prepared specifically for your vehicle.
  2. The car’s surface is carefully cleaned and prepared.
  3. With PreCut technology, the film is installed to the prepared surfaces without removing any parts.
  4. Tests and quality control checks are completed after installation.
  5. Digital warranty registration and authenticity documents are delivered to you.
