Range Rover Sport – PPF film

Range Rover Sport: Wrapping with Polyurethane Paint Protection Film

In the new 2023 RR Sport, the manufacturer has emphasized two features: driving performance and the car’s style. Regarding the latter, the massive body with smooth curves has won many drivers over, and it’s hard to take your eyes off its shine.

It is worth noting that such a body needs timely protection; otherwise, the perfectly smooth and shiny car will turn matte and scratched. To avoid unpleasant consequences, wrapping the 2023 RR Sport in film can help. This is the service the client came to our studio for.

Initially, a partial wrap was chosen for the SUV. To prevent the other parts of the car from excessive wear, it was decided to apply a ceramic coating. We suggest reading about the advantages of each service in this review.

The Importance of Protecting the Range Rover Sport Body: Differences Between Films and Key Characteristics

In our studio, you can wrap the RR Sport in vinyl or polyurethane. Vinyl is a styling film used to transform the car’s appearance. The material offers a wide range of colors and textures, allowing for a radical change in the body. Considering its reduced protective properties, vinyl cannot be called the most effective in protecting the car. Polyurethane excels in this regard.

If we talk about complete protection of the body from various kinds of damage, we always recommend polyurethane film to car owners. This durable, elastic, and long-lasting material handles chemical and mechanical damage effectively. The protection level of polyurethane extends to cleaning agents, salts, road reagents, various oxidizers, bird droppings, mold, gasoline, and oil. The film can also protect the RR Sport from scratches from branches, sandblasting, stones, damage from careless parking, minor accidents, and scrapes from other cars.

Thanks to its properties, the material does not get damaged by mechanical impact and absorbs all shocks. Other important features ensuring comfortable operation of the film include:

Adaptability to Heat and Cold: The temperature conditions outside do not affect the quality of protection. The film withstands high and low temperatures, temperature fluctuations, and does not crack or lose elasticity.
Self-Healing of Minor Damage: Just like on the car, the film will also develop minor scratches and scuffs during driving. The material can handle this on its own; you only need to leave the Range Rover Sport in the sun. Heating promotes the recovery of the material and smooths the top layer of the Top Coat. After a couple of hours, you’ll be surprised at how the film looks new again. With such properties, the car is not afraid of tough washes and scratches.
The Ability to Apply the Film Once Every 5-8 Years: Depending on the brand and specific parameters of the film, manufacturers recommend using it on the body for 5 to 8 years. These timelines are calculated considering the constant operation of the vehicle. As long as the RR Sport is wrapped in film, it will maintain its original appearance and shine.

At CarEngineering, we only purchase original premium-quality materials for bookings. It is essential for us to provide the maximum level of body protection rather than cut corners for the client. Therefore, we do everything possible to fulfill the owner’s wishes and protect the car from damage for many years.

Complex Local Wrapping and Ceramic Coating: Features

As mentioned above, the client chose an unusual wrap for the Range Rover Sport. The front part of the body, specifically the bumper, hood, windshield pillars, part of the roof, headlights, mirror covers, fenders, and door handle recesses, were covered with transparent polyurethane. This means that all listed parts are maximally protected from damage and will no longer show signs of wear.

For the remaining parts of the car, specialists applied a ceramic coating. It should be noted that at Car Engineering, we never skimp on materials and only offer the best. We work with high-quality ceramics from brands like ZviZZer, Krytex, ServFaces, and HENDLEX. The master selects the compositions individually, based on the car’s color and type of lacquer.

Among the main properties of ceramics are:

Protection Against UV and Chemicals: These are the main protective properties of ceramics. They prevent damage to the paint and lacquer when harsh substances come into contact, as well as fading under sunlight.
Hydrophobic Properties: The water-repellent properties of ceramics are significantly better than those of the film and the car’s original paint. Water droplets roll off the body without leaving marks. The primary advantage of hydrophobicity is that the car doesn’t get dirty as quickly, meaning it can be washed less often.
Color Depth: Visually, the ceramic evens out the shine of the film on the Range Rover Sport and eliminates the visible difference between wrapped and unwrapped parts. The body shines evenly and sparkles in the sun, with its color appearing bright and saturated.

Our studio also offers complete film wrapping. As part of the package, the material is applied to all elements. As an additional service, we offer wrapping of piano lacquer, rear optics, and chrome parts.

Complete film coverage is more effective than ceramics, as the protective properties of polyurethane are significantly better. This is particularly important with daily vehicle use, where the risk of damaging specific parts is maximal.

Anti-gravel Protection for the Front of the Range Rover Sport with Polyurethane

When fully wrapped, the RR Sport won’t fear scratches on the rear body or minor accidents. The likelihood of significant damage to parts requiring subsequent repairs is eliminated. Considering the shortage of components for repainting and the challenges of matching factory colors when working with European cars, we recommend considering a suitable wrapping package in advance. Our specialists at CarEngineering are always ready to provide detailed consultations.

The first factor influencing high-quality wrapping is cleanliness in the facility. The absence of dust and dirt in the studio prevents it from getting under the film and makes the result neater. A dirty space, such as those at budget washes, is unacceptable when wrapping the Range Rover Sport. The same applies to applying ceramics.

After preparing the studio, the car preparation follows. The main stage is polishing. The master first thoroughly washes the car using cleaning agents, degreasers, and special clay. Then, using professional equipment and appropriately selected paste, the body is polished. Polishing the Range Rover Sport before wrapping in film is recommended, as even new cars show scratch traces after being wrapped in transport film.

During the wrapping process, the masters consider dozens of nuances. It’s challenging to list them all, so we’ll focus on the main ones:

Careful Film Cutting: Measurements are taken for each part to which the film will be applied.
Application Using Purified Water: Regular tap water can cause the material to yellow. The same result occurs with low-quality film. At CarEngineering, we only apply premium materials using purified water.
Gentle Smoothing: To remove excess water and air, specialists carefully smooth the material on the parts without abrupt movements or pressure.
Professional Blade Work: Trimming excess film edges is done using scoring. We guarantee that our staff work professionally; after applying the film to the Range Rover Sport 2023, the body will remain perfect.
Folding Underneath: A few millimeters of material are wrapped under the inner part of the detail. The main goal of this step is to ensure more reliable protection and eliminate tears during washing from strong water pressure from the gun.

Ceramics are also applied while adhering to all technological features. The master sequentially applies three layers of ceramics with a special applicator: a base layer, a main layer, and a hydrophobic layer. Only this number of layers is considered correct. If other services claim that five, ten, or more layers are applied during ceramic coating, that’s a lie.
