Tow Bar Protection PPF
Tow bar contact is one of the most common causes of paint wear a Cirrus picks up on the ground. This pre-cut 8 mil film covers the left and right contact zones with extended coverage, so the wear lands on the film instead of the paint.
Check your contact zones
The kit is pre-cut for the standard left and right tow bar contact areas. Paint schemes and prior repairs vary — send us a photo if yours looks different and we'll confirm before you order.
Watch the install video →What the film actually does
8 mil of self-healing, optically clear urethane. It takes the scuffs, then comes off cleanly when you want it gone.
The metal plate is not included
This kit is the film only. If you're looking for the tow bar plate itself, that's a separate item — don't order this expecting hardware.
8 mil, not the thin stuff
A thick, durable barrier against scratches, scuffs, rock chips, and everyday handling — well beyond what a standard-gauge film absorbs.
Minor marks disappear with heat
Light scratches and swirl marks close up on their own with sun or warm water, so the protected area keeps looking maintained rather than scuffed.
Comes off cleanly
Crystal-clear so it doesn't change the look of the aircraft, and it resists yellowing, cracking, and peeling. Remove it later without damaging the paint underneath.
Wet-apply, squeegee, let it settle
Questions
Not sure it matches your contact zones? Send us a photo and we'll confirm the fit before you spend anything.
No, but watch the how-to video first if you've never applied PPF. It's a wet application — the film floats on slip fluid until you squeegee it down, which is what makes it forgiving to position.
Almost certainly not. This film is breathable, so small bubbles and any milky haze from trapped fluid dissipate on their own over several days. Give it time before trying to lift and re-lay it.
No. This kit is the protection film only — left and right pre-cut pieces. The metal plate is a separate item.
No. It's designed to come off cleanly, and it resists the yellowing, cracking, and peeling that make cheap films difficult to remove later.
Any PPF slip solution works. We link the one we use on this page — it's inexpensive and makes positioning much easier than plain soapy water.
Lead time is currently 1–2 business days, with tracking when it leaves.
