Question · Paint Protection Film
PPF vs ceramic coating: Which is better?
PPF for physical damage (rocks, chips, scratches). Ceramic for chemical damage (water spots, UV, bird droppings). For a daily-driver new car, the right answer is usually both.
This question is part of our Paint Protection Film service. See the full service overview, what's included, and how to schedule a walk-around.
WHEN THIS IS NOT THE RIGHT CALL
When to pick something else.
PPF without ceramic: water spots on uncovered panels. Ceramic without PPF: rock chips on the front end. The all-in package solves both.
FAQS
Common follow-up questions.
Ceramic over PPF — does that work?
Yes. Makes the PPF easier to clean and prevents water spotting on top of the film.
If I can only afford one?
Daily commute on highway: PPF. Garaged car parked outside occasionally: ceramic. Either alone is incomplete protection but covers the most-likely damage path.
