Quick comparison
Stone chip protection
PPF: yes, that is its main job. Ceramic: no.
Light scratch protection
PPF: yes, and some films self-heal light scratches with heat. Ceramic: only reduces very fine wash marks.
Gloss and water beading
PPF: good gloss. Ceramic: deep gloss and strong water and dust repellence.
Price
PPF costs much more, especially full-body. Ceramic costs less.
When to choose PPF
- You drive a lot on highways between cities
- Your car is new or valuable and you want to keep the factory paint
- You plan to sell the car and want the paint in top condition
- The front already has stone chips and you want to stop more
When to choose ceramic coating
- You want deep gloss and a richer colour
- You wash often because of dust and want it to be easier
- Your car is parked in the sun and you want protection from fading
- Full PPF is outside your budget
What many customers choose: both
You do not have to pick one. The most requested option at our shop is PPF on the front (bumper, bonnet, wings and mirrors), where the stones hit, and ceramic coating on the rest of the car and over the film for gloss and easy washing.
That gives you strong protection where you need it, plus shine and easy washing everywhere, for less than full-body PPF.
