The Shocking Truth About Dealership PPF Installations.

When it comes to protecting your luxury car’s paint with Paint Protection Film (PPF), the difference between a dealership installation and a specialized detailing studio like Polish And Passion is night and day. While dealerships often focus on quick turnover and profit margins, Polish And Passion is committed to delivering perfection, precision, and premium results.

Dealership PPF Installation – What Happens Behind the Scenes !

Many car buyers assume that dealerships are the safest option for PPF installation, but the reality can be quite different.

Lack of In-House Skill

Dealerships do not have trained PPF installers on their payroll. Instead, they hire third-party freelancers who may vary in skill and experience. This outsourcing means your luxury vehicle could be in the hands of someone who works on multiple cars a day without the precision high-end vehicles demand.

Non-Branded or Cheaper Films

Despite charging premium rates, dealerships often use non-branded or low-cost PPF films. Many claim to use high-end brands but manipulate the installation by substituting cheaper films—leaving customers unaware until issues like yellowing or peeling occur.

No Pre-Cut Patterns

Most dealerships do not use pre-cut pattern software. Instead, they cut the film directly on the car, which can lead to paint scoring, uneven edges, and poor fitment.

Incomplete Coverage

Dealership installations generally skip interior piano black trims, glossy exterior accents, and delicate finishes. The focus is usually on the most visible areas, leaving high-touch, high-scratch zones unprotected.

High Prices for Low Quality

By using cheaper films and outsourcing installation, dealerships can charge inflated prices while splitting profits with the third-party installer. Customers end up paying more for far less protection and longevity.
