How to protect your car’s bodywork?

News / 2023, 13 April

How to preserve your car’s bodywork?

Also described as PPF (Paint Protection Film), the films in the BODYFENCE® range provide protection for your car’s bodywork. They have been designed to provide durable protection for your car’s paintwork. Enter the world of HEXIS Paint Protection solutions.

Why should you protect the bodywork of your car?

New legislation requires manufacturers to use water-based paints for greater respect of the environment. These paints are less hard on the surface and are more sensitive to scratches and impacts. Due to their impact resistant, self-healing and high sliding properties, BODYFENCE® protective films constitute the ideal protection.

Give your car bodywork a second skin with this new generation of BODYFENCE® protective films. Our self-adhesive protection for vehicle bodies provides a reinforced barrier against environmental aggression. Thus, your car will be protected against:

  • scratches
  • projections of gravel
  • abrasion
  • ultraviolet rays

Whichever season, the roads are sometimes loaded with gravel which can become missiles damaging the paintwork of your vehicle. When a scratch damages your paintwork, the protective films in the BODYFENCE® range regenerate themselves using the heat of the sun or with hot water. The self-adhesive films of the BODYFENCE® range are absolutely clear. Therefore, they protect you car’s bodywork without altering its appearance. The films are available in gloss, matt or satin finish.

For this reason, if you want to protect your car’s bodywork, the use of BODYFENCE® is an obvious solution. The original paintwork will be preserved as on the first day.

Our self-adhesive BODYFENCE® films have a number of advantages:

  • self-healing
  • ultra-clear
  • Easy to install
  • conformable
  • high durability
  • self-cleaning
  • anti-impact
  • garanteed for life*

Which are the films that constitute the HEXIS BODYFENCE® range?

BODYFENCE® & BODYFENCEM

First, these two products are the best known and most recognised in our range of self-adhesive body protections. BODYFENCE® is the product by excellence to protect the most light-coloured bodywork. Our self-adhesive film for bodywork protection, BODYFENCE®, is perfectly clear so that it does not affect the light-coloured finish of your car. BODYFENCE® is an ultra-soft PU film with a gloss finish, available in 1520mm × 20m.

As far as BODYFENCEM is concerned, it has the same characteristics as the BODYFENCE® film, to protect the vehicle bodywork, but with a matt finish.

Self-adhesive films featuring X-technology: BODYFENCEX, BODYFENCEXM, BODYFENCEXS

BODYFENCEX has an additional technology, the X-technology. Unique and remarkable, it provides technical characteristics that give the product better performance and durability. Self-adhesive films with X-technology are easily identifiable by their  ending X.

Which are the advantages of X-technology?

It also provides effective protection for road works machinery.

DFENCEONEX & DFENCEONEXM

The inside of a car is just as important to protect as the outside. DFENCEONEX is therefore an efficient way of protecting interior surfaces. This self-adhesive film has been developed to protect the most delicate areas of the car’s interior:

  • dashbord
