Ceramic Coating vs PPF: What’s Best?
Both protect your car, but they do different jobs. Here’s how to choose—and when combining both makes the most sense.
What ceramic coating does
- Adds gloss and depth
- Makes washing faster and easier
- Helps resist UV and chemical staining
What PPF does
- Physically blocks rock chips and light scratches
- Self-heals minor swirls with heat
- Matte and gloss options available
When to choose one vs both
- Daily highway driving or new vehicle? Prioritize PPF for front impact areas.
- Want easier wash maintenance and shine? Add ceramic coating.
- Best of both: Full Front PPF + ceramic coating on the rest.
