Is the hype real with ceramic infused PPF?
Paint Protection technology has made leaps and bounds over the last 10 years with huge advancements in ceramic coatings, paint protection film, and the software used to make patterns for PPF. These advancements have definitely come at a great time as the finish on todays vehicles are more fragile than ever!
A new technology that is being hyped today is ceramic infused paint protection film. This product promises to combine the self cleaning and chemical resistance of a ceramic coating along with the protection and self healing properties of paint protection film. The question is….does it work?
Theres a saying that I use constantly when talking with clients about what we do here at CFD and why I don’t offer a wide variety of services…… Jack of all trades, master of none. But how does that apply to ceramic infused PPF?
To put it simply, a ceramic coating is specifically formulated to be a sacrificial layer, protect from UV, and make overall cleaning a breeze while lasting for years. On the other hand; PPF is specifically formulated to be a barrier against road damage along with having self healing properties. Thus, how does one product do both jobs well? The answer is……THEY DONT.
While this film will exhibit great ceramic coating properties….it will not last long. And at what expense to the self healing properties that you really want in paint protection film? The reality is….get PPF to protect your car from rock chips and road debris. And if possible, add a ceramic coating to protect and maintain your finish for years to come.
