Why More Installers Are Switching to NEXT GEN PPF by Wax is Dead

The Paint Protection Film industry has evolved rapidly over the last decade. As vehicle owners become more educated and demand higher standards, installers are under increasing pressure to deliver flawless finishes, long-term durability, and a premium customer experience.
For years, installers have relied on established brands such as XPEL, STEK and Profilm. While these products helped shape the industry, today’s installers are looking for more than just protection. They want a film that installs efficiently, performs consistently, and delivers a finish that genuinely stands out.
That is exactly why more installers are discovering NEXT GEN PPF by Wax is Dead.
Built for Installers. Designed for Performance.
NEXT GEN PPF was developed with one goal in mind: create a film that performs exceptionally well during installation whilst delivering industry-leading results once fitted.
Every aspect of the film has been engineered to make installation smoother and more predictable. From the initial positioning through to final edge work, NEXT GEN PPF provides excellent handling characteristics, controlled tack, and reliable adhesion where it matters most.
For professional installers, this means:
- Faster installations
- Less fight-back during fitting
- Strong edge retention
- Consistent results across complex panels
- Greater confidence when working on high-value vehicles
The result is a film that allows installers to focus on achieving perfection rather than fighting the material.
Superior Gloss That Sets a New Standard
One of the first things both installers and customers notice about NEXT GEN PPF is the gloss.
The finish is exceptionally deep, rich and reflective, enhancing the appearance of modern paintwork whilst maintaining outstanding optical clarity.
Many paint protection films protect the surface but can slightly dull the appearance of the paint beneath.
NEXT GEN PPF was developed to do the opposite.
The film enhances colour depth, increases reflectivity and creates a wet-look finish that often exceeds the appearance of bare paint.
For customers investing in prestige vehicles, supercars and performance cars, the visual impact is immediate.
The gloss levels are simply exceptional.
A Complete PPF Range for Every Style
NEXT GEN PPF is more than just a gloss film. The range has been developed to give installers and customers more choice without compromising on protection or performance.

Virtually Invisible Protection
The best Paint Protection Film should protect your vehicle without being obvious.
NEXT GEN PPF has been developed with exceptional clarity and low surface texture, helping the film blend seamlessly into the vehicle’s paintwork.
Once installed correctly, many customers are surprised at how difficult it is to tell the vehicle is protected at all.
The focus remains on the vehicle, not the film.
Advanced Self-Healing Technology
Daily driving exposes paintwork to countless hazards, from light scratches and wash marring to minor abrasions.
NEXT GEN PPF features advanced self-healing technology that allows light surface marks to disappear when exposed to heat.
Whether from sunlight, warm water or normal environmental conditions, the film continuously works to maintain a cleaner and more refined appearance over time.
This helps keep vehicles looking newer for longer whilst reducing the visible effects of day-to-day use.

NEXT GEN PPF features highly hydrophobic surface technology that actively repels water, dirt and road contaminants.
Benefits include:
- Easier vehicle maintenance
- Faster washing and drying

- Enhanced water beading
- Improved resistance to environmental contamination
Customers spend less time cleaning and more time enjoying their vehicle.
