So ceramic coating or paint protection film?-

The good news is you don’t have to choose one or the other. They can both be applied to the same vehicle. The dynamic duo of Paint Protection Film and a Ceramic Coating is the ultimate form of invisible protection you can purchase for your car! Below are highlighted similarities and differences:

Similarities: Ceramic Coating vs. Paint Protection Film.

The primary purpose of both products is keeping you car looking newer for longer by protecting and preserving your car’s paint.

In addition to this common central aim, the two products have some overlapping performance features. Specifically, both products help reduce damage from UV exposure and acidic contaminants.

 

Differences: Ceramic Coating vs. Paint Protection Film.

Though Ceramic Coating and Paint Protection Film have similarities, Paint Protection Film is thicker than Ceramic Coatings. Moreover, Paint Protection Film has a chemical composition that allows it to self-heal; that is, it returns to its original form after receiving an indentation or abrasion. These qualities make Paint Protection Film able to absorb rock chips, small scratches, swirl marks, and hard water spots without being permanently disfigured. Ceramic Coating does not have that ability. Despite the claims of some manufacturers and installers, a Ceramic Coating does not eliminate the risk of rock chips, scratches, swirl marks, and water spots.

What is PPF?

Paint protection film, also referred to as clear bra or a "wrap", is a thin layer of flexible material placed over a vehicle's body panels to protect them from flying rocks or road debris. This type of protective film can even save your car's paint from light hail damage or low-speed scrapes that would normally scratch and scar the finish.
