What's the difference between PPF and ceramic coating?
Paint protection film is a clear, physical layer that absorbs rock chips, scratches and road debris. Ceramic coating is a thin, hard chemical layer that adds gloss, repels water and grime, and makes the car much easier to wash. Film protects against impacts; coating protects against the elements and makes upkeep easier.
Do I need both?
Not always. If your main concern is rock chips on the front end, PPF is the priority. If you want gloss and easier washing, ceramic coating is the place to start. Many owners who plan to keep their car do both: film on the high-impact areas and coating over the whole car, including the film.
Can you put ceramic coating over PPF or a wrap?
Yes. Ceramic coating bonds to paint, wrap film and PPF. Coating over film adds gloss and makes the film easier to keep clean.
Will I be able to see the film?
PPF is virtually invisible on any color. Up close, you may notice an edge where a partial package ends, so we place edges where they're least visible and wrap them around panel edges where the panel allows.
Does ceramic coating stop rock chips and scratches?
No. A coating adds some resistance to light marring, but it's a thin layer and won't stop rock chips or deeper scratches. That's what PPF is for, which is why the two are often paired.
Do I still need to wash my car?
Yes, but it's much easier. Dirt, water and grime release more easily from a coated or filmed surface, so washes are quicker and the car stays clean longer. Hand washing with a pH-neutral soap is best.
Is the interior detail really included?
Yes. A complimentary express interior detail is included with Level II and Level III ceramic coatings.
Can I pay over time?
Yes. You can split the cost of larger jobs into smaller payments with Klarna or Afterpay. Ask about it when you get your estimate.
