In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore everything you need to know about PPF and how it can safeguard your prized possession.
What is Paint Protection Film (PPF)?
Defining PPF and Its Purpose
Paint Protection Film, often referred to as “clear bra,” is a transparent, polyurethane film that is applied to your vehicle’s exterior surfaces. Its primary purpose is to provide an invisible shield against various forms of damage, keeping your R1S looking pristine.
How PPF Works
PPF is engineered to absorb and disperse impacts, preventing scratches, scuffs, and minor dings from reaching your vehicle’s paint. It’s like an extra layer of armor for your car, ensuring that everyday wear and tear don’t leave a lasting mark.

There are different types of PPF available, ranging from pre-cut kits to custom-cut solutions. Each has its advantages and disadvantages, catering to various preferences and budgets. Here at Mum Sports we custom cut our material to minimize edges and bring you a more seamless look.

Tips for Caring for PPF
Learn practical tips to keep your PPF looking and performing its best. Proper care and maintenance of Paint Protection Film (PPF) are essential to ensure it continues to provide effective protection and looks great on your Rivian R1S. Here are some tips for caring for PPF:
1. Regular Washing: Just like your car’s paint, PPF should be washed regularly to remove dirt, debris, and contaminants. Use a mild automotive detergent and a soft microfiber or lambswool wash mitt. Avoid using harsh brushes or abrasive scrubbers.
2. Hand Washing: Hand washing is preferable to automatic car washes with abrasive brushes, as these can potentially damage the PPF. If using an automatic car wash, ensure it is brushless or designed for use with PPF.
3. Avoid High-Pressure Sprayers: High-pressure water sprayers can lift the edges of the PPF or cause it to peel. Use a gentle stream of water when rinsing the film.
4. Use a pH-Neutral Shampoo: Choose a pH-neutral automotive shampoo that is gentle on the film. Avoid using harsh detergents or acidic cleaners, as they can damage the PPF.
5. Pat Dry: After washing, pat the PPF dry with a clean, soft microfiber towel rather than rubbing it. This helps prevent any potential damage to the film’s surface.
6. Avoid Abrasive Compounds: Do not use abrasive polishes, compounds, or waxes on the PPF. Stick to products that are specifically designed for PPF maintenance.
7. Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Avoid using strong solvents, gasoline, or harsh chemicals on the PPF, as they can damage the film. If you accidentally spill any of these substances on the film, rinse it off immediately.
8. Avoid Abrasive Wash Media: When washing, avoid using abrasive wash media such as brushes or sponges with rough surfaces, as they can scratch the PPF.
By following these tips and maintaining a regular cleaning schedule, you can ensure that your Rivian R1S’s Paint Protection Film remains in top-notch condition, preserving the beauty of your vehicle and its resale value.
