Essential Car Wrapping Tools Complete Guide To Uses & Applications
PPF
PPF (Paint Protection Film) is a clear, thin layer of polyurethane that is applied to your vehicle’s exterior to protect the paint from scratches, stone chips, sun damage, and chemical exposure. This virtually invisible film acts like a powerful shield, keeping your car’s finish glossy, smooth, and like-new for years.
Protection against scratches
UV resistance
Self-healing technology PPF
Preserves the car’s value
TPU PPF
PLOTTER WITH SOFTWARE
Plotter cutting is a professional method of cutting PPF using a plotter machine. In this process, digital templates specific to each car model are loaded into specialized software, and the plotter cuts the film with millimeter-level accuracy, eliminating the need for manual cutting on the vehicle’s surface. No need for cutting on the car—zero risk to the paint
GEL PPF
PPF gel is a specially formulated installation fluid used during the application of Paint Protection Film. It provides smooth slip and positioning, reduces bubbles, and ensures better adhesion between the film and the surface.
PPF Gel vs. Soap & Water What's the Difference?
Better slip control
Stronger bonding after squeegeeing
No streaks or soap residue
Optimized for sensitive adhesives used in high-quality PPF films
SQUEEGEES
Squeegee is a manual and essential tool for the professional installation of PPF, stickers, and adhesive coverings on smooth surfaces such as vehicle bodies or glass. With its soft edge (usually made of rubber, felt, or Teflon), it helps you remove air bubbles and excess moisture during installation, ensuring the film adheres smoothly and evenly without scratches.
CUTTER & BLADES
A cutter and blade are essential tools for precise trimming during the installation of PPF, vinyl wraps, and decals. They allow for clean, accurate cuts without damaging the surface, making the installation look professional and seamless
types of cutter & blade:
Genus blade
Genus sensor cutting
Edge cutter
30 blade
Magnetic cutter knife
Slitting cutter
HEATGUN & HOLDERS
A heat gun is an essential tool for installing PPF, vinyl wraps, and decals. It softens the film with controlled heat, making it more flexible and easier to apply smoothly—especially on curves and edges.
The holder keeps the heat gun stable and accessible, allowing for safer, hands-free operation and better control during installation.
MICROFIBER TOWELS
A microfiber towel is a soft, lint-free cloth ideal for cleaning and drying surfaces without scratching. It’s perfect for use during PPF or vinyl installation to remove dust, moisture, and fingerprints, ensuring a clean and smooth finish.
