Labocosmetica ARMORIUS: The Complete Paint Protection Film (PPF) Installation, Coating & Maintenance System
Paint Protection Film (PPF) has become one of the most popular ways to protect vehicle paintwork from stone chips, road debris, scratches and environmental contamination.
However, protecting your investment doesn't stop once the film has been installed. To achieve the best performance and longevity from modern PPF, specialist products are required.
Labocosmetica ARMORIUS is a complete system designed specifically for Paint Protection Film and vinyl wraps, covering installation, ceramic protection and ongoing maintenance.
Modern PPF is engineered with advanced properties including flexibility, self-healing technology and surface textures designed to improve durability. Over time, contamination can become embedded within the surface of the film.
Dedicated PPF products help maintain clarity, appearance and performance without compromising the film.

Frequently Asked Questions About PPF Care
Can you ceramic coat Paint Protection Film (PPF)?
Yes. Ceramic coatings can be applied to Paint Protection Film to provide additional protection, improve hydrophobic properties and make the surface easier to maintain. Specialist PPF coatings such as Labocosmetica ARMORIUS Gloss and Matte are designed specifically for compatibility with film.
What is the best way to clean Paint Protection Film?
The best way to clean PPF is to use products specifically designed for paint protection film. Dedicated PPF cleaners help remove contamination safely without affecting the film's appearance, self-healing properties or performance.
Can you use normal car shampoo on PPF?
Many pH-neutral car shampoos are safe for PPF, but specialist PPF maintenance products provide additional benefits by targeting contamination that builds up on modern films.
Why does PPF need maintenance products?
Although PPF is designed to protect vehicle paint, it is still exposed to road grime, insects, environmental fallout and mineral deposits. Regular maintenance helps preserve the clarity, appearance and performance of the film over time.
What is the difference between ARMORIUS Gloss and Matte coatings?
ARMORIUS Gloss is designed for gloss PPF and gloss vinyl wraps, while ARMORIUS Matte is formulated specifically for matte and satin finishes without adding unwanted gloss.
How do you remove stubborn contamination from PPF?
Stubborn contamination such as insects, bird droppings and embedded road film should be removed using dedicated PPF-safe products. ARMORIUS LIBERA is designed for organic contamination, while ARMORIUS LIMPIA provides a deeper alkaline clean to remove contamination from the texture of the film.
