Protection & Style
Paint Protection Film, also known as PPF, is designed to protect your paintwork from stone chips, scratches, road rash, bug splatter, bird mess and daily driving damage. Vehicle wrapping is designed to change the appearance of your car using high-quality vinyl films, including gloss, satin, matte, metallic and specialist finishes.
At Detailing and Training Centre, we offer PPF and wrapping from our Ilkeston studio, serving Derby, Nottingham, Derbyshire and the wider East Midlands. Whether you want invisible paint protection, a satin or matte finish, a full colour change, a dechrome, a roof wrap or interior protection film, we can help build the right package for your vehicle.
Brands & Films We Use
The result of any PPF or wrap job depends on two things: the quality of the film and the quality of the installation. At DTC, we use professional-grade paint protection film and vehicle wrapping films chosen for clarity, finish, durability, adhesive quality and long-term performance.
Terminax PPF is designed for modern vehicle protection, with clear gloss, satin, matte, colour change and specialist paint protection film options. It uses advanced TPU and nano-ceramic style film technology, with self-healing and hydrophobic performance, and product-dependent warranties listed up to 12 years by Terminax UK.
XPEL Ultimate Plus is a well-known premium PPF option designed to protect paintwork from stone chips, scratches, road grime, bug splatter and environmental damage. XPEL describes Ultimate Plus as self-healing when exposed to heat, with a comprehensive 10-year warranty on Ultimate Plus and Stealth films.
For vinyl wrapping, 3M Wrap Film Series 2080 is a strong option for colour change wraps, roof wraps, dechromes and styling work. 3M lists roll widths up to 1524 mm, helping installers cover many vehicle panels without seams, and states warranty confidence of up to eight years on vertical applications.
Film choice depends on the vehicle, finish, colour, protection level and customer budget. We will always recommend the most suitable film for the job rather than forcing one brand onto every vehicle.

Unsure which option suits your vehicle? Speak to DTC and we will explain the differences, finishes and budgets honestly.
Our Process
Every install starts with proper cleaning and preparation, because film only performs as well as the surface underneath it.
We discuss your vehicle, goals, film options, finishes and budget.
The vehicle is safely washed, decontaminated and prepared before any film is applied.
Panels, edges and paintwork are inspected so we can plan the install properly.
The film is installed carefully with attention to edges, curves and alignment.
The install is checked panel by panel under lighting before handover.
We explain how to wash, maintain and care for your new film properly.
Our Work
Real cars, real results - straight from the studio floor and out on the road.
PPF & Wrapping FAQs
Common questions about paint protection film, vinyl wrapping and how the two compare.
PPF is mainly for protection. Vinyl wrap is mainly for styling and colour change. Colour change PPF gives both styling and protection, but it is usually a more premium option.
High-quality PPF can last up to 10 years or more depending on the film, installation, maintenance and how the vehicle is used. Some film ranges offer product-dependent warranties beyond this, but we will always explain the specific warranty for the film chosen before fitting.
PPF massively reduces the risk of stone chip damage on protected areas, especially on front bumpers, bonnets, wings and mirrors. It is one of the best protection options for motorway cars, performance cars and daily drivers.
Yes. New cars are ideal for PPF because the paintwork can be protected before it collects stone chips, scratches and wash damage.
Yes, PPF can usually be removed safely when it has been installed and removed correctly. Removal condition depends on the film age, paint condition, previous paintwork and how the vehicle has been maintained.
Yes, ceramic coating can usually be applied over suitable PPF to improve water behaviour, make washing easier and add slickness. The correct coating must be used and applied after the film has been installed properly.
Gloss PPF is designed to be very discreet and preserve the original gloss look. Satin or matte PPF can change the finish of the vehicle. Colour change PPF can completely transform the appearance.
Colour change PPF is more protective than a standard vinyl wrap because it is designed as a paint protection film. Vinyl wrap is still a great choice for styling, dechromes, roof wraps and colour changes where protection is less important.
A quality vinyl wrap can last several years depending on the film, installation, exposure, cleaning methods and whether the vehicle is stored indoors or outdoors. Horizontal panels such as bonnets and roofs usually take more UV and weather exposure than vertical panels.
Where safe and suitable, some badges, trims and parts may be removed to improve the finish. This depends on the vehicle, the package and the risk of removal. We will discuss this before work begins.
Yes, dechrome wrapping is one of the most popular styling upgrades. Window surrounds, grille trims, badges, roof rails and other chrome details can often be wrapped in gloss black, satin black or other finishes.
Yes. Headlight PPF is a smart add-on because modern headlights can be expensive to replace. It helps protect against stone chips, scratches and surface wear.
Yes. Interior PPF is ideal for gloss black trims, centre consoles, touchscreens and high-touch areas that scratch easily.
