Nardo Gray Matte PPF: Protection That Performs
This 7.5 mil self-healing paint protection film shields your car from rock chips, scratches, UV damage, and road debris. The Nardo Gray finish transforms your vehicle's appearance while the TPU film absorbs impact and resists abrasion. Thinner by design, this colored PPF installs with precision and maintains optical clarity that thicker films can't match. Every panel stays protected without compromising the sharp lines of your build.
SelfRepair™ Technology Erases Minor Damage
The Nexthor SelfRepair™ topcoat uses heat activation to erase light scratches and swirl marks. Park in the sun or apply warm water, and the molecular structure rebounds to its original state. This self-healing PPF keeps your gray matte finish looking fresh without constant correction. Drive hard, protect harder.
AquaGuard™ Hydrophilic Coating and BondGrip™ Adhesive
The AquaGuard™ hydrophilic nano coating spreads water into a thin sheet that carries dirt and contaminants off the surface. No reapplication required. BondGrip™ adhesive from the USA locks the film to your paint with long-term strength and clean removal when needed. This Gray paint protection film is backed by a 10-year warranty that covers yellowing, cracking, and delamination. Hydrophobic coating available on request for those who prefer beading behavior.

Application & Installation
Application & Installation
Nexthor™ Paint Protection Film is manufactured from premium American and German raw materials and engineered for maximum tensile strength, optical clarity, and controlled elasticity at optimized thickness. Correct installation ensures full adhesive activation, structural integrity, and long-term performance.
Professional Requirements
Installation must be performed in a controlled, dust-free environment using professional-grade tools. Surface contamination, improper slip ratios, or uncontrolled heat application may compromise adhesion performance.
- Professional PPF squeegee (multi-hardness)
- Precision blade system
- Lint-free microfiber system
- Distilled water only
- Heat control equipment
Installation Methodology
Nexthor™ PPF is designed for precision wet application using controlled alignment, calibrated slip ratios, and structured adhesive activation. The following methodology ensures optimal bonding strength, visual clarity, and long-term durability.
1. Surface ConditioningVehicle surface must be fully decontaminated and panel temperature stabilized. Final wipe with isopropyl alcohol solution is mandatory. Surface must be clean, dry, oil-free, and dust-free.
2. Slip FormulaRecommended ratio: 1L distilled water + 2–4 drops pure baby shampoo. Mix gently to maintain low-foam consistency. No conditioners, waxes, or silicone-based additives permitted.
3. Film PositioningApply slip solution to both surface and adhesive layer. Position film under controlled tension. Maintain alignment with body lines and structural reference points.
4. Adhesive ActivationExecute center-out squeegee passes with overlapping pressure lines. All fluid must be evacuated to achieve full adhesive contact. Edges must be secured using controlled pressure and temperature. Avoid overheating.
5. Curing Phase
Initial bond stabilization: 24 hours.
Complete adhesive cure: 7–30 days depending on climate conditions.
During curing:
No washing for 48 hours.
No high-pressure exposure for 7 days.
Temporary moisture pockets may appear and will dissipate naturally.
Maintenance & Care
Nexthor™ PPF incorporates advanced self-healing elastomer technology activated by thermal energy. Wash with pH-neutral automotive shampoo only. Avoid abrasive tools and aggressive chemical exposure. Professional installation is strongly recommended for complex geometries and high-tension panels.
