Has anyone used this product as an alternative to PPF?

https://ngenco.com

- Is it a durable product like PPF?
- Does it protect as well as PPF?
- Any paint issues when having it removed?

Cheers

There is very little info on the product but Lichfield see fit to charge £2400 for a front end spray!

It is a promising looking product but not sure I would pay more than ppf for it just to hide some film lines. Ppf was good on my lotus Evora but started to lift in areas after almost 18 months and didn’t work very well in curved edges. That’s there this could be good but at the prices I have seen so far it’s too much.

I've been watching this product develop for quite some time now, having looked to add it to our business almost two years ago now - The company that actually produces it is in Australia and Ngenco are the UK distributor - I think it's great and I believe a version of this will be the future for Paint Protection, but we're still quite a way off that in my opinion.

It's far too expensive when compared to the already proven PPF, the process is much longer (hence the price) and the protection level isn't yet comparable - In that video you can see at least one, maybe two of the impacts appear to have dented the panel and they then neglect to remove that part of the product!
Not that I can say 100% that PPF would've saved the dent, but I'm pretty sure it would, the three layered construction of PPF gives a huge amount of impact absorption whereas this product by design is much more rigid.

With the quality of the films now and the advanced patterning techniques PPF takes some beating when done properly, amazing to see where it's come in the last 10 years.
That’s the kind of info i was after! Much appreciated. I’ll stick with ppf for the moment until this product is a bit more proven and maybe more developed.
