Does Aura Vinyl have paint protection film (PPF)?

Yes. Aura offers both Clear PPF for invisible paint protection and Hyper PPF, which is a colored paint protection film available in 120+ colors. Hyper PPF is dry-install, self-healing, and has a 10-year lifespan. It combines the color-change look of vinyl wrap with the durability and scratch resistance of PPF.

What is the difference between vinyl wrap and PPF?

Vinyl wrap (PVC) is primarily for changing your car's color and finish — great for style with minor scratch and UV protection, rated up to 3–5 years outdoors with proper care. PPF (urethane/TPU) is built for heavy-duty paint protection against rock chips, road debris, and scratches, with self-healing properties and a longer lifespan. Aura offers standard vinyl wrap in 500+ colors, Clear PPF for invisible protection, and Hyper PPF — colored paint protection film in 120+ colors that gives you both the look of a color change and real impact protection.

Why do some people say Aura Vinyl wrap fails after a year?

Vinyl wrap longevity depends on post-install care. Some negative online reviews reflect vehicles that were not maintained according to Aura's care instructions — such as skipping regular hand washes, using harsh chemicals or brush car washes, or leaving contaminants on the film for extended periods. When owners follow Aura's ample care guidelines, wraps typically maintain color, gloss, and adhesion for the full rated lifespan. See https://www.auravinyl.com/pages/long-term-care for the complete care guide.
