Introduction:
Driving in Orlando means dealing with intense sun, constant rain, lovebug season, and road debris that can quickly damage your paint. If you're looking to protect your investment, applying Paint Protection Film (PPF) in the right areas of your vehicle can go a long way.
At
K&N Detailing, we’ve protected everything from daily drivers to exotic sports cars with targeted PPF coverage that works for Florida’s conditions. Here’s our guide to the most important areas to protect — and why full-body film isn’t always necessary.
1. Front Bumper
This is the most vulnerable part of your vehicle. It’s constantly exposed to bugs, gravel, sand, and road debris. Florida’s lovebug season is especially brutal on front bumpers, often leaving behind acidic residue that eats into clear coat.
PPF here acts as a sacrificial layer, absorbing damage and keeping your paint intact.
2. Hood (Partial or Full)
The leading edge of your hood takes a beating on Florida highways. Partial coverage (12–24 inches) is a popular option, but many of our Orlando clients prefer full hood coverage for seamless protection and aesthetics.
3. Side Mirrors & A-Pillars
These aerodynamic zones often get peppered with bugs and stones, especially at higher speeds. They're small but critical for protection.
4. Headlights
Modern headlights are made from polycarbonate plastic and can yellow, haze, or crack over time. Clear PPF adds UV resistance and keeps them looking crystal clear for years.
5. Rocker Panels & Lower Doors
Florida's sandy roads can cause damage to the lower half of your vehicle. The rocker panels are particularly prone to wear from road grit, water splash, and even your shoes as you get in and out.
Applying PPF here prevents premature chipping and corrosion.
6. Rear Bumper Loading Area
Do you haul gear, groceries, or golf clubs? Then your rear bumper is at risk of scratches and scuffs. A simple PPF strip here offers affordable protection where it’s needed most.
Optional: Full Body PPF
If you own a luxury, exotic, or show vehicle — or just want total peace of mind — full-body PPF may be worth it.
It offers uniform protection and makes maintaining the paint easier. We pair this with a ceramic coating to reduce cleaning time and add gloss.
