DEFCON PAINT PROTECTION FILM
A clear sacrificial layer over your paint.
ADG installs DEFCON PPF, a film range developed in Australia for Australian road and climate conditions. The selected film creates a flexible physical barrier between the factory finish and common road hazards while preserving the vehicle’s colour and character.
DEFCON offers different film lines for gloss, satin and colour applications. ADG confirms the exact product, coverage, edge treatment and warranty terms during the vehicle-specific quote—so the recommendation matches the finish you actually want.
WORKSHOP PROCESS
See the film take shape.
This short workshop clip shows the care and precision involved in applying PPF over a vehicle panel. Coverage and access differ by vehicle, so every installation is planned before the film is fitted.

WHY CHOOSE PPF?
Protection where the paint is most exposed.
PPF is most valuable on forward-facing and high-contact panels that collect chips, scratches and contamination.
Clear or satin finish
The DEFCON range includes high-clarity gloss and satin options, allowing the selected film to protect while respecting the vehicle’s intended finish.
Self-healing top coat
Minor wash marks contained within a suitable film’s top coat can reduce with warmth. Deeper cuts through the film will not self-heal.
Simpler maintenance
The protected surface is easier to clean, helping isolate bug residue, road grime and environmental contamination from the paint underneath.
COVERAGE OPTIONS
Choose protection around how you drive.
Final coverage is planned around the vehicle’s panel shapes, paint condition and the areas you want protected.
Essential impact areas
Front bumper, mirror caps and selected high-wear sectionsFocused protection for the areas most exposed to parking contact, insects and road debris.
Full front
Front bumper, full bonnet, front guards and mirror capsA popular road-use package for vehicles regularly driven on highways or behind other traffic.
Extended coverage
Full front plus A-pillars, roof leading edge, side skirts or selected panelsAdditional protection for frequent country travel, performance use or specific high-contact areas.
Full vehicle
All suitable painted exterior panelsThe broadest level of paint protection with a consistent finish across the vehicle.
FINISH OPTIONSGloss, satin or colour
Availability depends on the selected DEFCON film line and vehicle application. The exact finish is shown and confirmed before installation.
INSTALLATION PROCESS
Preparation matters as much as the film.
A clean surface, considered coverage and careful edge finishing determine how the completed installation looks and performs.
Inspect and plan
We assess paint condition, panel shapes and the coverage you want before recommending a DEFCON film and finish.
Prepare the surface
The vehicle is carefully cleaned and decontaminated. Existing defects are discussed because the film will not hide chips or damaged paint.
Fit and finish
Film is positioned around the vehicle’s contours, then edges and joins are finished according to panel access and the agreed coverage.
Cure and hand over
The installation is inspected and you receive care guidance, including the initial curing period and how to wash around film edges.
REALISTIC PROTECTION
What PPF does not do.
Paint protection film is a protective wear layer, not armour. Clear expectations help you choose the right coverage and look after the film correctly.
- —PPF reduces the risk and severity of damage but cannot make paint impact-proof.
- —It cannot prevent dents, panel deformation, severe impacts, deep cuts or accident damage.
- —Existing stone chips, scratches, oxidation or poor repairs remain visible unless corrected first.
- —Edges and joins may be visible on some panel shapes, factory tolerances or partial-coverage packages.
- —The exact DEFCON film line, finish and applicable limited-warranty terms are confirmed in your quote and handover documents.
WHY A TAILORED QUOTE?
The vehicle determines the coverage.
Panel size, body contours, paint condition, film finish and the amount of edge wrapping all affect the material and installation time required.
- Vehicle and paint-condition inspection
- Essential, full-front, extended or full-body coverage
- DEFCON product and finish confirmed before work
- Coverage, joins and warranty terms clearly documented
GOOD TO KNOW
PPF questions before you decide
Clear answers help you choose the right service before selecting a date.
Is PPF the same as ceramic coating?
No. PPF is a thicker physical film designed to absorb light impacts and abrasion. Ceramic coating primarily changes surface behaviour, gloss and ease of cleaning. They can be combined when suitable.
Can PPF hide existing scratches or stone chips?
No. Transparent film follows the condition underneath it. Paint correction or touch-up may be recommended before installation, depending on the defect and the result you want.
How soon can I wash the vehicle?
Allow the film to settle and follow ADG’s handover guidance. DEFCON advises waiting at least seven days before an automatic wash or pressure washing and avoiding direct high pressure at film edges.
Which DEFCON film will be used?
The film line is selected around the required gloss, satin or colour finish, coverage and vehicle use. ADG will name the product and confirm the applicable manufacturer warranty before installation.
