Lexus LX – PPF protection

Wrapping the Lexus LX 570 with Polyurethane Film

The metallic-colored SUV model looks both elegant and bold. The alluring gloss shines in the sun and is noticeable from afar. It’s unlikely that anyone won’t turn their head upon seeing this SUV on the streets of their city.

The car will be impressive and perfect until the first scratch appears. No matter how carefully the driver drives, a branch or a stone kicked up by another car will leave its mark. Regularly polishing the body to remove defects is not an ideal solution. There is a much more reliable and durable option—wrapping the LX570 with an anti-gravel film.

Wrapping the Lexus LX 570 with a Polyurethane Film

5 reasons to protect your car Applying anti-gravel film is not a new service in detailing, but some drivers have only recently become aware of its existence. This protection saves car owners a lot of time and money, sparing them from unnecessary repairs and maintenance. Among the main benefits of wrapping a Lexus LX are:

Scratches, scuffs, and damage from chemicals are no longer a threat to the body. A good level of coating protection shields the paintwork from minor damage. If you choose a stronger film with maximum thickness, you can avoid unpleasant consequences in minor road incidents.
A Lexus LX 570 wrapped in film can do without excessive maintenance and frequent washing. When the body has additional coverage, the need for polishing and constant washing disappears. Visiting a car wash once a month or less will not affect the condition of the film or the body.
The coating will preserve the condition of the car throughout its entire service life. After wrapping the LX 450, sand, stones, and other abrasives simply won’t reach the paintwork. If you apply the film to a new car, after removing the material years later, the body will delight with its like-new appearance and shine.
Wrapping the LX 570 is a promising investment for the next 5-8 years of driving. The material is applied once, and regular replacement is not required. Compared to other coatings, the film is much more practical. For example, ceramic coatings need to be replaced after just a year of use, which is costly and inconvenient.
After use, the material can be removed from the body without leaving any residue. The key is not to leave the protective film on the body for too long. Then, the coating can be removed in one piece easily and quickly.

Wrapping is a sure step toward a shining car. The film can do even more than you might think; you just need to choose the right coating.

Polyurethane Film for Lexus LX 570: Criteria for Choosing The client clearly indicated that the main goal of wrapping the LX is to protect the parts from wear and damage. To meet expectations, specialists chose the most suitable film—polyurethane. The coating can save the body in cases of:

rough washing;
minor accidents;
driving on the roadside;
passing through overgrown areas;
bumper scrapes by other vehicles.

Thanks to the temperature sensitivity of polyurethane, the paintwork is equally well-protected from damage. In winter, potential threats to the body may include anti-icing agents and salts, while in summer, it could be insect remains or road enamel. Therefore, uniform protection of the LX570 with film is extremely important.

Polyurethane has another property that greatly facilitates its use—self-healing. In hot weather, the sun helps the film to self-heal scratches, making it smooth and shiny again. Since the polyurethane film on the Lexus LX will be used for up to 8 years, this property helps it remain attractive throughout the driving period.

You can also apply the film to change the design of the body. In this case, our specialists use vinyl. The film lags slightly behind polyurethane in terms of parameters and will not protect the car as well, but its color palette is impressive. Different colors, effects, inscriptions, and drawings will turn your car into a unique designer vehicle that won’t go unnoticed.

Recently, colored polyurethane has also appeared on the market, but its palette cannot yet compare with vinyl. Moreover, wrapping with such material will cost much more than applying regular polyurethane, not to mention vinyl.

You can consult with our specialist about choosing the right film for your Lexus. Based on your preferences, they will select the material with the optimal characteristics. All you have to do is wait for the result.

Full Wrapping of the Lexus LX: Scratches Won’t Stand a Chance

The Lexus owner opted for transparent polyurethane. There are two options for applying such a coating:

Locally—on the front part, specifically the risk zones: bumper, hood, headlights, pillars, fenders, roof, and door handles;
Fully—on all parts except for the chrome elements.

Wrapping the Lexus LX 570 in film is always more effective as it minimizes the risk of body damage. No matter where a stone or branch hits the car, the film will absorb the impact and serve as a reliable barrier.

Partial wrapping is recommended only if the car is rarely used. The risk of catching a stone is still high, but if you drive once a week or less, it is less likely than with daily trips.

We also have a solution for protecting chrome elements—Anti-Chrome. This involves wrapping the grille, moldings, frames, and branded badges in black film. Vinyl is used for the coating. Its characteristics are sufficient to prevent damage and corrosion. You can choose the anti-chrome service as an additional option to any wrapping package.

Secrets of Properly Wrapping a Lexus in Film The “invisible effect” is one of the reasons to choose transparent polyurethane for wrapping. When properly applied, the film is invisible on the body, meaning you can keep the wrapping a secret.

For the desired effect, it is important to consider several nuances:

Careful preparation for wrapping—washing and degreasing.
Proper material preparation—cutting for each application zone.
Thorough distribution of the film over the body—smoothing with rubber squeegees.
Edge folding—securing the edge of the film on the inside of the part.

Special tools are used for each stage, and the work is done by specialists with 15 years or more of experience.

The workspace is also important. Wrapping the Lexus LX 570 in film is done in a clean room with the necessary equipment and sufficient lighting. You can see this for yourself by visiting the repair area. We are always open with our clients and do not hide the work process. The service is carried out with full safety for the car, and we are responsible for the quality of the material and the result for every car owner.
