BECOME A PPF INSTALLER
The realistic pathway from first roll to paying work.
The Pathway, Without
The Mythology
Nobody starts on a customer's bonnet. The realistic sequence: hands-on practice film, pattern literacy, prep discipline, then supervised panels before paid panels.
Defcon supports each step from one catalogue: the Practice Pack for training stock, training and support for structured learning, and a trade account when you are ready to buy rolls.
Skills That Actually
Gate The Job
Surface prep is a warranty condition, not a preference: cover requires a clean, contaminant-free surface. Pattern work on the plotter keeps blades off paint, and heat handling drives both install quality and self-heal demonstrations.
Complex curves are why certified installation exists as a service customers pay for.
Building The
Business Side
Your commercial stack is the same account: wholesale pricing behind the login, consumables shipped with film, and every completed job registered through the e-Warranty system so your work carries transferable cover.
Bilingual support in English and Chinese covers the questions between jobs.
Training &
Installer Support
PPF installation training and support come through the same team that supplies the film: training sessions, cutting software setup and tooling advice are part of the trade relationship, not a separate vendor.
New installers can start with the Starter Pack, practice on the Practice Pack, then move to full rolls once confident. Technical questions are answered through our contact page, in English or Chinese.
Trade Pricing &
Sample Rolls
Wholesale pricing sits behind the trade login, so your buy rates stay confidential. There are no public price lists to undercut the margin you charge your own customers.
Before committing to full rolls, request a free sample roll and run it through your own installation process, or order the Defcon Practice Pack to train on real film without touching customer stock.
OEMC Software
& DFA Plotter
Cut vehicle patterns in-house with OEMC pattern software on the DFA plotter, both listed in the Defcon product range. Film, software and plotter come from one supplier, so a single support contact covers the whole cutting workflow.
In-house cutting means panels are cut off the car from a pattern library instead of being hand trimmed on paint, which is how most film damage claims start. The DFA Plotter and OEMC software are stocked as standard catalogue items.
Consumables In
The Same Order
Installation consumables ship with the film: DFA Surface Cleaner in 24-can cartons and Installation Gel in 16-litre drums sit in the same catalogue, so one order covers film, prep and slip solution.
Surface preparation is also a warranty condition: cover requires a clean, contaminant-free surface at installation, so running approved prep products protects both the job and the claim.
FAQ
-
How do I open a trade account?
Get in touch through our contact page and our team sets up your trade account, activating wholesale pricing on your login. Once approved, you order through the online shop and stock is dispatched Australia-wide. Your buy rates never appear on the public site or in front of your customers.
-
Can I test the film before ordering?
Yes. Request a free sample roll and run it through your own installation process, or order the Defcon Practice Pack to train on real film before touching customer stock.
-
Can film go over dealer-applied waxes or sealants?
Remove waxes and sealants before applying PPF because they interfere with adhesion, and surface preparation is a warranty condition. If the customer wants them, apply after installation.
-
Can the film go over paint touch-ups?
Yes, but touch-up areas should be smooth and professionally buffed before application for the best finish, so inspect repair spots at quoting time.
-
Are precut kits available?
Yes, precut kits can be ordered through the online shop or authorised dealers. On complex curved panels we still recommend certified installation.
-
Do you offer support in Chinese?
Yes. Bilingual consultation in English and Chinese is available through our WeChat channel, covering product selection, ordering and technical questions. 我们提供中英双语咨询。
-
How deep a scratch will the film self-heal?
The self-healing clear coat is about 13 microns thick. Scratches contained in that layer repair with heat from sunlight or warm water. Anything that cuts through the clear coat is permanent, and that section should be replaced.
-
How long does the film last?
Defcon ONE carries a 12-year warranty and Glanz a 10-year warranty covering yellowing, staining, bubbling, peeling and cracking, so the film you sell is warranted for close to the ownership life of most vehicles.
