PPF vs Ceramic Coatings - The TRUTH
Вставка

- In this video, Eric goes over the big differences between PPF (Paint Protection Film) and Ceramic Coatings. While both are great forms of protection, only PPF can provide the true impact protection that is required to keep your vehicles exterior looking brand new over time.
Ceramic Coatings are great for gloss enhancement, ease of washing, UV protection etc, but do not provide any protection from rocks and other road debris damage.

I almost got into a fender bender few days ago from an entitled driver. I am now even more glad to have the defense plus ppf installed since it definitely would have protected my model 3 from that fender bender seeing how it protected this model s.
PPF is your best form of defense from minor fender benders and accidents.

The video I’ve always wished I could make! Nice work brother! PPF is what I was originally told ceramic coating would be. Anytime I have a potential client show up and they’ve seen a marketing video for ceramic coating where they’re beating lighters up against the paint or even setting the vehicle on fire I know I’m in trouble lol! Great video brother!
Perfect world I’m protecting the vehicle from stone chips and road debris with PPF and then protecting the PPF with a coating. Have a great day and God Bless!
Thanks Lloyd!
Great video. Do you have a video on how to properly buff PPF? I used my new Liquid E. buffer and it worked great on a used panel I have, but I know I might be missing some steps. I have a few water spots and other small defects that I know can be removed if done right. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for the kind words. I do not have any advice nor recommendations on how to polish PPF.
Great video brother! Well done keep up the great work!
Hi , when I do a bulk mirrors when I trim it the next day the edges looks like silvering and then it pops up, what am I doing wrong
Too much stretch.
@@DriveProtected sounds good thanks
I live in the Caribbean, where it gets extremely hot, and we mostly park out in the open (hot sun). How long would PPF last on a vehicle under those conditions?
Also, does it damage the original paint finish if it is on for too long?
Most PPF brands have a 10 year warranty against yellowing regardless of the vehicles location etc.
PPF shouldn’t damage the paint being on it for a long time. As long as it’s removed properly, it should keep the paint underneath looking brand new.
Question for you boss... does ppf get swirl marks on it like regular paint does when going through automatic car washes?
Yup, sure does!
@@DriveProtected ahh dangit, was hoping it'd protect from that lol. So the benefit is more so for protection against rock chips and scratches from door dings and such?
Correct, however if the PPF has a self healing layer, lots of those swirl marks should go away under the sun.
why does it feel almost mandatory to put a ceramic coating on top of PPF? (are you getting UV protection? Bug guts & bird dropping protection? Does the PPF last significantly longer with a ceramic coating on top?)
Also, what do you do in 2-3 years when most of the ceramic coating is gone? (I hear it doesn't stack/layer well and the only way to remove the previous coating is to high-speed polish it - but if your car is PPF'd wouldn't the high-speed polisher mess up the PPF?
This is a great question. In my opinion, the only benefit a ceramic coating will provide is enhanced gloss and ease of washing. Most ceramic coatings do not last very long and once they no longer bead water or perform, they can just be re-coated on without the need of paint correction. That is if it's installed over PPF. If it's not on PPF and on paint, then definitely do a paint correction first. Hope that answers that.
