What you will learn
- What PPF (paint protection film) is and the types of film
- Surface preparation before application
- Vehicle part removal techniques
- Using material efficiently according to the vehicle's shape
- Cut planning that reduces material waste
- Correct application methods for each vehicle part
- Cutting and application techniques
- Application on difficult panels
- Manual working skills and controlled use of the cutting knife

At Bowax Academy the plotter is not taught as the only right method: the aim is to read the vehicle's shape, work manually when needed, understand cutting logic and adapt to different panel types.
