Nowe auto najszybciej traci fabryczny wygląd w 5 miejscach: na progach drzwi, piano black wnętrza, wnękach klamek, ekranie multimedialnym i słupkach z krawędzią bagażnika. Folia ochronna na nowe auto chroni te elementy za 45 zł od zestawu i montujesz ją samodzielnie w 30–60 minut — to ułamek ceny renowacji zarysowanego lakieru w lakierni.
Wiesz, co jest najgorsze w nowym samochodzie? Ten moment, gdy pierwszy raz zauważasz rysę, której wcześniej nie było. Na progu po wsiadaniu w butach, na piano black od rękawa kurtki, na klamce od pierścionka. Po paru miesiącach z eleganckiego wnętrza zostaje mapa mikrorys. Dobra wiadomość — większości tych problemów da się uniknąć, jeśli zadbasz o kilka kluczowych miejsc od razu po odbiorze auta.
Dlaczego folia ochronna na nowe auto to konieczność?
Nowe samochody mają więcej delikatnych powierzchni niż kiedykolwiek. Producenci oszczędzają na lakierach, stosują cienkie warstwy czystego lakieru (clear coat) i coraz więcej plastików piano black we wnętrzu. Efekt? Wystarczy kilka tygodni, by nowiutkie auto wyglądało na używane.
Trzy powody, dla których warto nałożyć folię ochronną na nowe auto:
- Ochrona wartości rezydualnej — auta z zabezpieczonym lakierem i wnętrzem osiągają o 10–20% wyższe ceny odsprzedaży
- Oszczędność — renowacja progu w lakierni kosztuje 300–800 zł, folia na progi od 45 zł
- Full reversibility — PPF (Paint Protection Film) comes off without a trace, does not affect the manufacturer’s warranty
The best time to wrap is the first week after pickup — the elements are then perfectly clean, without scratches, and the film will preserve the factory condition for years.
How does PPF protective film work on a new car?
PPF (Paint Protection Film) is a multi-layer polyurethane (TPU) film with a thickness of 150–200 microns. The top layer is a self-healing topcoat that seals minor scratches when exposed to heat — just pour warm water on the film, and the small scratches disappear.
Unlike films sold by the meter (which require professional cutting and installation), at homescreen.pl you will find ready-made GrizzGlass kits tailored to specific car models. Each element is precisely cut to the dimensions of a given car — Volkswagen Passat B9, Toyota Corolla, BMW Series 3, or Tesla Model 3 Highland. Installation takes 30–60 minutes and does not require detailing experience.
5 elements of a new car that are worth wrapping with film right away
Below you will find a list of the five most vulnerable elements along with ready-made solutions from the car accessories homescreen.pl offer.
1. Door sills — most prone to scratches
The most important element to protect in a new car
Door thresholds are number one on this list — and there’s no doubt about it. Every time you get in and out, there’s contact with shoes, belt buckles, bags, and suitcases. After a month of daily use, the first scratches appear on the thresholds, and after a year, the surface looks like it has been sanded.
GrizzGlass BodyShield films for thresholds are a carbon or matte laminate resistant to scratches, available in ready-made sets tailored to specific car models. They cover the entire visible area of the threshold — from the outer edge to the inner trim.
What it protects:
– Outer edge of the threshold (contact with shoes)
– Inner threshold trim
– Corners by the doors
Cost: from 45 PLN for a set for one car model
Alternative at the paint shop: 300–800 PLN for the renovation of one scratched threshold
2. Piano black interior — scratches from just a glance
Element number one for interior protection
Piano black is the name of the glossy black finish on the plastic elements of the dashboard, center console, screen frames, and door trims. It looks fantastic — right until the first touch. The material has the awful characteristic of scratching from the slightest contact. Nails, sweater sleeves, and even dust particles wiped with a dry cloth leave visible marks.
GrizzGlass PianoSkin is a set of precisely cut films tailored to a specific car model. Available in Glossy (maintains the original shine) and Matte (changes the finish to satin, which does not collect fingerprints).
What it protects:
– Central panel and center console
– Multimedia screen frame
– Door trims and gear shift lever cover
– Dashboard elements
Cost: from 112 zł per set
Tip: The matte PianoSkin variant has an additional advantage — on the matte surface, fingerprints and minor scratches are practically invisible.

3. Handle recesses — invisible scratches that are visible up close
Element najczęściej pomijany przez kierowców
Wnęki klamek drzwi — przestrzeń wokół uchwytu, w którą wkładasz palce — to miejsce, które rysują paznokcie, pierścionki i kluczyki. Problem jest uniwersalny: niezależnie od modelu auta, po kilku miesiącach wokół klamek pojawia się matowa poświata drobnych zarysowań. Z daleka niewidoczne, z bliska psują wygląd drogiego samochodu.
Folie GrizzGlass BodyShield na klamki to precyzyjnie wycięte elementy, które zakrywają dokładnie te fragmenty karoserii, które ulegają zniszczeniu. Transparentne, samoregenerujące się, nie wpływają na wygląd auta.
Co chroni:
– Wewnętrzna powierzchnia wnęki klamki
– Krawędź drzwi wokół klamki
– Same klamki (w wybranych zestawach)
Koszt: od 35 zł za zestaw (komplet 2–4 klamek)
4. Ekran multimedialny — coraz większy, coraz bardziej narażony
An increasingly important element — screens are growing, and their replacement costs a fortune
Screens in modern cars range from 8 to 24 inches diagonally and are often priced in the thousands of zlotys when replaced. The central display is touched daily — fingerprints, dust, scratches from jewelry are a daily occurrence. Some new cars have a protective glass, but most use plastic panels that scratch easily.
GrizzGlass CarDisplay Protection is available in two variants:
| Variant | Effect | For whom |
|---|---|---|
| Ceramic | Maintains full transparency | People who value the original appearance |
| Matte (PaperScreen) | Reduces glare, improves readability in sunlight | Drivers often driving in the sun |
What it protects:
– Central multimedia display
– Digital clock / virtual cockpit (in selected models)
– Air conditioning screen
Cost: from 110 PLN for the screen film (110–220 PLN depending on size)
5. B/C pillars and trunk edge — hidden areas that quickly get damaged
The element you’ll think about only when you see scratches
B and C pillars (between the doors and behind the rear doors) and the trunk edge are two areas that in new cars are painted with a high gloss or piano black finish. The problem? Passengers lean their bags against them, get in with dirty shoes, and the trunk collects scratches from suitcases, boxes, and groceries.
GrizzGlass BodyShield for pillars and trunk edges covers these elements with a film that is practically invisible, protecting against scratches and chips.
What it protects:
– B pillar (between the driver’s door and the rear doors)
– C pillar (behind the rear doors)
– Trunk lid edge
– Rear bumper (in some kits)
Cost: from 45 PLN for a set for one car model

| TOTAL | 345–1 010 zł | 5 100–9 900 zł | up to 8 890 zł |
Complete protection of a new car with film costs less than 1 000 zł with self-installation. A visit to the paint shop after a year of use — even 10 times more.

Kiedy najlepiej okleić nowe auto folią?
Odpowiedź: w pierwszym tygodniu po odbiorze. Powody są trzy.
Firstly — the elements are then in perfect condition. No scratches, no fingerprints, no dust embedded in micro-cracks. The film will preserve the factory look and protect against scratches.
Secondly — a new car usually sits in the garage for the first few days. You have time and peace for installation. Then routine sets in and constant postponement.
Thirdly — later you will have to polish out scratches before wrapping, which takes extra time and requires experience. On a new car, installation is simpler and faster.
Tip: Order the film kits even before picking up the car. They should be ready on the day you take the car from the showroom — you dedicate the first weekend to installation, and then enjoy your new car without worries about scratches.
Summary
A new car deserves protection from day one. Five elements worth wrapping in film right away are: door sills, piano black interior, door handle recesses, multimedia screen, and B/C pillars with the trunk edge. A complete film kit for all these places costs from 345 PLN with self-installation — that’s a fraction of the cost of later restoration at a paint shop, which can amount to even 10,000 PLN.

FAQ — frequently asked questions
Is it worth wrapping a new car with film?
Yes, especially if you plan to use the car for more than 2 years. The protective film protects against scratches in the most vulnerable areas — thresholds, piano black, screen — and maintains the factory appearance for years. The cost of DIY kits (from 45 PLN per piece) is many times lower than later renovation at a paint shop.
How much does it cost to wrap a new car with film?
Complete protection of the five most important elements (thresholds, piano black, handles, screen, pillars) costs 345–1,010 PLN with self-installation of GrizzGlass kits. Professional wrapping at a detailing studio costs 3,000–8,000 PLN. The film for the entire body PPF costs from 6,000 PLN upwards.
Can PPF film be applied independently?
Yes — the GrizzGlass PianoSkin and BodyShield kits are designed for self-installation. The package includes precisely cut elements, mounting gel, a squeegee, microfiber cloth, and instructions. Installing one element takes 10–20 minutes and does not require detailing experience. A complete installation for the whole car takes about 1–2 hours.
Does the protective film void the manufacturer’s warranty?
No. GrizzGlass PPF films are fully reversible — they can be removed without a trace at any time. They do not affect the warranty on the paint or other car components. Additionally, they are invisible, so they do not alter the appearance of the car in the eyes of the insurer.
Which parts of a new car scratch the most?
The most commonly scratched areas are: door sills (when entering), piano black in the cabin (from sleeves and dust), door handle recesses (from nails and rings), multimedia screen (from fingers), and trunk edge (from suitcases and shopping). These five areas are worth protecting with film immediately after picking up the car.
Can GrizzGlass films be used to wrap a Chinese brand car?
Yes — at homescreen.pl you will find films tailored for models such as Chery Tiggo, Jetour X70, and other Chinese brands. Check the category films for other cars, where all brands outside the list of major European, American, and Japanese manufacturers are collected.
