Paint Protection Film Vs. Ceramic Coating 

Which is the better choice for your vehicle?

Short Answer: It Depends On Your Goals. 

Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a clear self-healing film that offers excellent defense against rock chips and scratches. Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that bonds to the paint, enhancing its gloss and durability while providing resistance against UV rays and chemical stains. PPF excels in impact protection, while ceramic coating enhances aesthetics and ease of maintenance. The choice between the two depends on desired protection levels and preferences.
