A Ceramic coating offers your vehicle a few different benefits such as enhanced gloss and hydrophobic self cleaning properties, but most importantly, protection for your vehicle’s clear coat. Your vehicle is put through some of the harshest conditions everyday, not only while you are driving it but while it’s parked as well. Rain, mineral water, bug splatter, bird droppings and UV damage are some of the elements that damage your vehicle’s paint on a daily basis. These are the things that ceramic coatings were developed to withstand and protect against. The chance of any of the above stated issues damaging your vehicle’s paint are drastically reduced once it is ceramic coated. It provides an invisible barrier between all the outside elements and stops them from leaving the damage in your clear coat that they normally would. 

Paint Protection Film on the other hand was made and designed to stop impact damage from harming your vehicle’s paint. Rock and stone chips, scratches and scuffs are all issues that damage your paint and can leave permanent marks behind. When a paint protection film is installed to your vehicle, it stops all of those issues from happening. A paint protection film can still be damaged if impacted hard enough by a larger stone, or scuffed hard enough by something hitting it, at which point the film can easily be removed and replaced while the panel underneath will be unharmed.
