The Best Tools & Equipment for Applying Paint Protection Film (PPF)

Paint protection films (PPF) – also known as stone chip protection films – are an essential shield for vehicle surfaces. They protect the paint from scratches, stone chips, and harmful environmental influences such as UV radiation or aggressive chemicals. Choosing the right film and the appropriate tools is crucial for achieving precise and long-lasting results.

Leading manufacturers such as XPEL, 3M, Avery Dennison, SunTek, and Profilm offer a wide range of films tailored to different needs. Selecting the right tools is key to achieving precision. Here are the most important tools and their benefits:

Tecnovap HILL EVO Dry Steam Cleaner 3 Liters - 174 Degrees - 8 Bar

Tecnovap

Tecnovap HILL EVO Dry Steam Cleaner 3 Liters - 174 Degrees - 8 Bar

HILL EVO from Tecnovap is a commercial dry steam cleaner with a steam temperature of up to 174°C. The operating pressure in the stainless steel boiler - AISI 304 - is 8 bar, generating 64 grams of dry steam per minute. The device features a user-friendly control unit at the front, with steam production adjustable via the remote control at the hose outlet in 3 levels. Due to its compact design and high performance, the Tecnovap HILL EVO is the perfect steam cleaner for cleaning tasks in car care, detailing, businesses, and households. With its high ergonomics, the HILL EVO is the ideal steam generator for the application of paint protection films (PPF) and is therefore recommended by Profilm Germany/Austria. Dry steam cleaner / steam generator 2-chamber system for refilling during operation 3L water tank, stainless steel boiler, steel housing Maximum power 2.4 kW 5 m power cable for 230 V 3 m steam hose made of high-quality plastic Weight 16 kg Wheels on the base unit, carrying handle Includes extensive nozzle attachments and extensions 2 years warranty - service by Krüger GmbH The Tecnovap HILL EVO is only available for commercial users. The offered steam cleaner is an original device that may be offered visually and technically in various variants by other suppliers under private labels. Due to the increasing demand for high-quality steam cleaners and extensive testing, we decided to import this device directly from the manufacturer and offer it in its original condition. We extend the warranty to two years and keep spare and accessory parts at hand. Chemical-Free Car Care with Dry Steam Water is the basis of cleaning and therefore the most important element in car care. However, water alone cannot effectively remove or transport dirt; that’s where cleaners come into play. With pressure and temperature, the cleaning power of water can be enhanced and used as a sole, eco-friendly cleaning medium. Dry steam, as generated by the HILL EVO, contains only free water molecules that move freely at high heat. They penetrate deeply into dirt, killing bacteria and eliminating odors. Real Dry Steam Without Excess Water The HILL EVO generates true dry steam without dripping water and can therefore be used on surfaces and components where cheap, simple hardware store devices fail. No wonder the device may appear familiar in design and function to those who have encountered similar devices in the detailing and car care scene. The HILL EVO is the original produced in Italy and comes with comprehensive accessories. Ideal for PPF Installers and Car Wrappers In search of high-quality and affordable devices for installing PPF paint protection films, we discovered the HILL EVO after a long search. Dry steam devices are particularly useful and popular for processing paint protection films. With good ergonomics, operational safety, and built-in descaling, we believe the HILL EVO is the perfect device for the job. Included Accessories 3m steam hose with remote control at the handle 2 extension pipes 480mm Rectangular brush Triangular brush Window cleaning attachment Steam lance 28mm nylon brush for steam lance 28mm brass brush for steam lance 28mm stainless steel brush for steam lance Steam spatula 60mm steam suction bell 60mm nylon brush Triangular brush Stainless steel wool Optional Accessories A 5 m steam hose and a work cart are available as optional accessories for the HILL EVO. The HILL EVO is delivered without an accessory bag; we offer a transport box from FLEX. For cloths to absorb dissolved dirt, we recommend the Pike microfiber cloths from Detail Passion made in Germany.

3D One Hybrid Paint Polish Medium & Fine 473ml

3D Products

3D One Hybrid Paint Polish Medium & Fine 473ml

3D One Hybrid is a revolutionary polish from the US manufacturer 3D Products. With 3D One Hybrid, paint defect corrections can be achieved with a perfect finish in significantly shorter time. 3D One Hybrid is suitable for multiple polishing steps and can thus be used as a universal polish with various polishing pads and application methods. 3D One is characterized by its very long working time, is dust-free, and can be easily removed from the paint. The Perfect Polish for Professionals and Enthusiasts: 3D One Hybrid For professionals, it is important that the consumption of polish is as low as possible and a variety of processing steps can be carried out. 3D One Hybrid can be used with all types of polishing pads - foam pads, microfiber pads, lambswool pads, wool pads. Car care enthusiasts will appreciate that 3D One Hybrid has a low odor and can be processed for a very long time. For simple hand polishing, 3D One Hybrid can even be applied in direct sunlight. 3D One Hybrid is free from fillers and can be completely removed even with gentle degreasers. 3D One Hybrid is ideal as a polish for subsequent sealants using silicones, polymers, or high-quality waxes. Universally Applicable: Rotary, Orbital, Forced Orbital 3D One Hybrid is designed for use with modern high-performance polishing machines and can be processed rotarily, orbitally, and forced orbitally. With sharp polishing pads, 3D One Hybrid delivers a significant cut, while its long working time allows for a perfect finish to mirror gloss with finer pads. The tendency to form holograms during rotary processing has been almost completely eliminated by the unique "Ceramic Alumina Abrasive" formula. Extremely Long Working Time Thanks to Durable Abrasives and High-Quality Carrier Liquid 3D One Hybrid was developed with a consciously high proportion of carrier liquid and durable abrasives. This combination is, in our opinion, unique worldwide. This formulation allows 3D One Hybrid to be perfectly controlled through the type of polishing and the polishing pad, making it excellent for medium cut to high-gloss finishing. For higher cut, we recommend switching from the orbital polisher to a rotary polisher or using a classic heavy cut polish orbitally or forced orbitally. 3D One Hybrid also serves as a problem solver for sensitive paints and "sticky paints." To find an affordable entry point, we offer 3D One Hybrid in various sizes and a trial package.

DP Pro Polishing Pad 125mm Therminator Intermediate Blue 20mm Ø 125/135mm

Detail Passion

DP Pro Polishing Pad 125mm Therminator Intermediate Blue 20mm Ø 125/135mm

The new Intermediate polishing pads from Detail Passion are based on the well-known technology of thermally stable or thermoresistant foam. They are designed for polishing tasks in a one-step process and for correcting paint defects on softer clear coats like those from Tesla, Harley Davidson, Dodge, or Asian manufacturers. The blue thermo pads feature an extremely fine open cell foam structure and impress with an unprecedented balance between fast material removal and a very good finish. It is difficult to precisely categorize the blue Intermediate foam in the existing foam list. In many cases, the Intermediate polishing pad offers the cut of the orange foam and the finish of the very soft black foam. In tests, the Intermediate Therminator polishing pads also achieved perfect results when processing PPF paint protection films. With the DP Pro Therminator polishing pad, the German manufacturer Detail Passion has embraced the hype of so-called thermally stable or thermoresistant polishing pads while also realizing their own ideas. The advantages of thermally stable polishing pads are obvious. Continuously controllable paint or clear coat removal during the polishing process is ensured, as the foam does not lose its compressive hardness due to heat exposure. This means that even at higher rotational speeds, the pressure can be maintained, thus preventing a drop in cutting performance. Similarly, the cell structure is preserved, leading to optimal cooling and minimizing compression. Based on the experience with extremely fast heavy cut polishes like the 3D Car Care 510 and the universal 3D One Hybrid, Detail Passion has implemented special additional properties in the polishing foam. DP Pro Therminator white - Super Heavy Cut for severe paint defects DP Pro Therminator orange - Medium Cut for One Step, All in One or medium strength polishes DP Pro Therminator maroon - Medium Polish for intermediate polishes and finishing DP Pro Therminator blue - Intermediate One Step, soft clear coats, wrapping preparation DP Pro Therminator black - Gloss finish for sensitive paints or extreme gloss Super Heavy Cut to Finish: DP Pro Therminator Polishing Pads for Rotary and Dual Action Use Unlike other polishing pads made of thermally stable foam, special attention was paid to the cell structure and the distribution of the polish in the composition of DP Pro Therminators. Despite the advantages of conventional thermo pads, the cell structure can lead to uneven or no distribution of the polish during start-up or spreading. This can quickly result in unwanted dry polishing, especially with medium-hard pads. DP Pro Therminators are optimized for large orbit polishers such as Rupes LHR15, ShineMate EX620, Makita POC, Flex XFE and create, depending on the choice, an impressively fast material removal or a high-gloss finish. DP Pro Therminator polishing pads can be optionally supplemented with heavy cut polishing pads made of hybrid wool or microfiber or used alone as a comprehensive solution.
