Certified SunTek PPF Installer
Paint Protection Film
Reading's trusted PPF installer since 2012 -- preserving your vehicle's finish with industry-leading SunTek technology
What is Paint Protection Film?
Paint protection film (PPF) is a transparent, self-healing polyurethane film that is precisely applied to your vehicle's exterior surfaces. Originally developed for military helicopter rotor blades, PPF technology has evolved to become the gold standard in vehicle paint protection.
As a certified SunTek PPF installer in Reading, Dainton's uses industry-leading films that absorb impacts from stone chips, road debris, and minor abrasions -- keeping your paintwork in pristine condition. The film's self-healing properties mean light scratches and swirl marks disappear with heat exposure, maintaining a flawless finish.
Whether you drive a daily commuter or a high-value supercar, PPF provides invisible protection that preserves your vehicle's appearance and resale value for years to come.
Why Choose PPF for Your Vehicle?
Comprehensive protection with invisible results
Stone Chip Protection
Absorbs impacts from road debris, stones, and gravel that would otherwise chip or damage your paintwork.
Self-Healing Technology
Light scratches and swirl marks vanish with heat exposure thanks to SunTek's advanced self-healing top coat.
Invisible Finish
Optically clear film that preserves your vehicle's original colour and gloss -- virtually undetectable once installed.
UV Resistance
Blocks harmful UV rays that cause paint fading and oxidation, keeping your finish vibrant for years.
Easy Maintenance
The hydrophobic surface repels water, dirt, and contaminants, making washing easier and less frequent.
Resale Value
Protects your investment -- vehicles with PPF consistently achieve higher resale values due to preserved paintwork condition.

Frequently Asked Questions
High-quality SunTek PPF is designed to last 7-10 years or more with proper care. The film comes with a 10-year manufacturer warranty against yellowing, cracking, peeling, and staining.
Yes, SunTek PPF is designed for clean removal. When professionally removed, it leaves your original paintwork in the same condition as when the film was applied -- often better than unprotected panels of the same age.
A full vehicle wrap typically takes 3-5 days depending on the vehicle's complexity. Partial wraps usually take 1-2 days. We never rush installations -- precision requires time.
PPF is a physical barrier that absorbs impacts from stone chips and scratches. Ceramic coating is a chemical layer that enhances gloss and provides hydrophobic properties but cannot prevent physical damage. Many clients choose both -- PPF underneath with ceramic coating on top for ultimate protection.
Absolutely. In fact, new vehicles are ideal candidates for PPF as the paintwork is in perfect condition. We work with several dealerships in Reading and Berkshire, including H.R. Owen and Inchcape BMW, to protect vehicles before they reach their owners.
PPF requires minimal special care. Hand washing or touchless car washes are recommended. Avoid abrasive polishes directly on the film. The hydrophobic surface means dirt and contaminants are easier to remove, actually reducing your maintenance effort.
What Our PPF Clients Say
Had full body SunTek PPF on my new Porsche 911 and the finish is impeccable. No visible edges, no bubbles, just seamless invisible protection. Chris and the team clearly know what they are doing. This is my third car with Dainton's and the standard never drops.
Had the full front PPF package on my Tesla Model 3. The film is completely invisible and the hydrophobic top coat is genuinely impressive. Also had ceramic coating on the rest of the car. Outstanding workmanship from start to finish.
Had SunTek PPF Ultra Matte applied to my matte-finish AMG GT. Finding someone confident with matte PPF is difficult but Dainton's absolutely nailed it. The satin finish is perfectly maintained and the entire car is now protected.
