PAINT PROTECTION · PPF & CERAMIC

Protect the
finish you love.

From a physical barrier against road wear to a surface that is easier to clean, the right protection starts with how you drive and care for your vehicle.

UNDERSTAND YOUR OPTIONS

Two approaches.
One cared-for finish.

Film and coatings do different jobs. We help you weigh coverage, appearance, upkeep, and the way your vehicle is used.

01 / A PHYSICAL BARRIER

Paint protection film.

PPF is a transparent, flexible film applied over paint. It helps shield covered areas from small road-debris impacts, scuffs, and everyday wear.

Coverage can focus on exposed areas, such as the front bumper, hood, mirrors, and rocker panels, or extend farther around the vehicle.

Coverage, film options, preparation, and installation are confirmed after discussing your vehicle. No PPF price is assumed in our ceramic packages.

02 / EASIER ROUTINE CARE

Ceramic coatings.

A liquid-applied coating bonds to a prepared surface. It enhances gloss, encourages water to bead, and helps make regular cleaning easier.

It suits owners who want a maintained finish with less effort at each wash. Careful preparation and correct application are central to the result.

A coating needs ongoing care. It does not remove scratches or prevent stone chips, and water spots can still form.

A LITTLE KNOWLEDGE GOES A LONG WAY

What is the difference between PPF and ceramic coating?

PPF is a physical film installed over selected panels to help absorb everyday road wear such as small stone impacts and scuffs. Ceramic coating is a thin bonded surface treatment focused on gloss, water repellency, and easier cleaning. They serve different purposes.

Will a ceramic coating stop rock chips or scratches?

It is not a stone-chip barrier and does not make paint scratch-proof. If impact protection is your priority, ask about PPF coverage. Both options still need thoughtful washing and care.

Can I have both film and a coating?

Yes, a film-compatible coating can complement PPF by making the surface easier to maintain. Compatibility and application instructions depend on the products selected, so we discuss the combination before recommending it.

Does the paint need correction first?

We inspect it first. Coatings do not remove existing swirls or scratches. Addressing suitable defects before protection improves the appearance beneath it; the ceramic packages below specify their included correction work.

How long does protection last?

Longevity depends on the exact product, preparation, exposure, and care. See the selected package for its stated coating duration and ask for product-specific aftercare and any warranty terms. Film life also varies by product and conditions.

Is PPF self-healing?

Some films have a topcoat that can recover from light surface marks with warmth. That does not repair deep cuts, major impacts, or damage in the paint underneath. Features depend on the film selected.

Can I stop washing the car after a coating?

No. A coating makes routine care easier but dirt and contamination still accumulate. Use gentle washing methods, clean towels, and timely drying. Remove bird droppings and other deposits promptly using suitable care products.

When can I wash it or get it wet?

Cure times and water restrictions vary by the coating or film system and installation conditions. At handoff, we explain when to wash, what to avoid initially, and how to look after the specific protection on your vehicle.

How do I book PPF?

Contact us to discuss your vehicle, the panels you want covered, product options, and installation arrangements. PPF is individually scoped; the bookable packages below are ceramic coating services, not PPF installations.
