Rock Chip Protection from Owner’s Pride
Owner’s Pride’s mission is to never stop innovating its ceramic protection products, according to the company. This has led to the creation of Owner’s Pride PPF Ceramic. It’s commonly accepted that PPF is a great first line of defense when guarding paint against unsightly chips. However, road debris can still penetrate PPF and cause damage. The product comes with a warranty that—in the event road debris penetrates the newly installed PPF and causes
damage to the paint of the protected surface— will pay to repair the damage as well as the reapplication of the PPF film on the affected surface.
