TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is an elastomeric, flexible film that possesses natural "self-healing" properties, allowing micro-scratches to disappear when exposed to ambient heat or warm water. TPH is a cheaper PVC-hybrid that loses its flexibility, cracks, yellows quickly, and can damage your factory clear coat upon removal. We exclusively install high-quality TPU at Custom Ride Zirakpur.
The self-healing process is nearly instantaneous when exposed to temperature levels above 30°C. On a warm, sunny day in Zirakpur, simple swirl marks and washing scratches will disappear naturally on their own while your vehicle is parked outside. For faster results, warm water can be poured directly over the panel.
No, absolutely not—provided your car has its original, cured factory paintwork. The high-quality acrylic adhesives used in our TPU films are formulated to bond securely to factory paint while leaving zero adhesive residue or causing paint peeling when safely removed by professional heat tools.
Ceramic & Graphene Coatings
The rating (9H/10H) refers to the Pencil Hardness Test, measuring the scratch resistance of the fully cured silica layer. A certified 10H coating integrates a tighter, thicker molecular structure which provides enhanced chemical defense, deeper candy-like paint gloss, and slightly higher scratch protection compared to standard 9H applications.
No coating makes a vehicle 100% scratch-proof. While a ceramic layer provides exceptional resistance to microscopic swirl marks, light brush scratches, and wash-induced defects, high-impact key scratches or flying stones will still bypass it. For impact protection, we highly recommend our TPU PPF packages.
Graphene Coatings utilize carbon-based graphene oxide molecules instead of just pure silica (SiO2). Graphene has a lower thermal rate, which reduces the chance of hard-water spot etching on the clear coat—making it highly effective for cars parked regularly in open conditions during monsoon seasons.
Wash & Maintenance Care
We highly recommend using a pH-neutral detailing shampoo with a clean microfiber wash mitt using the **Two-Bucket Method** (one bucket for soapy wash, one for rinsing dirt). Never wash the vehicle in direct midday sunlight, and avoid hard borewell ground water which leaves calcium spots on the finish.
We strongly advise **against** automatic brush washes. The coarse, stiff nylon spinning brushes can capture dirt from previous dirty vehicles and drag it across your panels with high force, resulting in heavy swirl marks or even lift the edges of the film. Clean, touchless pressure washes are always preferred.
Bookings & Studio Warranties
Our premium TPU PPF and Ceramic Coating options come with a certified written warranty card of up to 10 years depending on the film grade selected. This warranty protects against yellowing, bubbling, cracking, or premature peeling of the film edges during normal usage conditions.
Typically, a complete professional TPU wrap requires **3 to 4 days**. The first day is entirely dedicated to paint correction, chemical claying, panel decontamination, and badge removals. The following days involve the precision wrap installation, edge tucking, heating panels, and a final 24-hour inspect and cure cycle in our dry dust-free booth.
