Protect Your Car's Paint: Comparing PPF to Ceramic Coatings

When it comes to protecting your vehicle’s paint, there are several options available, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Two popular options are paint protection film (PPF) and ceramic coatings. In this blog, we’ll compare PPF to other types of paint protection and discuss why Santa Fe Tint is the go-to company for all your paint protection needs.

Paint Protection Film (PPF)

PPF is a clear film that is applied to the exterior of a vehicle to protect the paint from scratches, chips, and other forms of damage. The film is self-healing, which means that minor scratches will disappear over time. PPF is a great option for those who want maximum protection for their vehicle’s paint.

Ceramic Coatings

Ceramic coatings are a liquid polymer that is applied to the exterior of a vehicle to create a protective layer. The coating bonds with the paint to create a hydrophobic surface that repels water and contaminants. Ceramic coatings are a good option for those who want long-lasting protection for their vehicle’s paint.

Comparing PPF to Ceramic Coatings

While both PPF and ceramic coatings offer great protection for a vehicle’s paint, they have some key differences. PPF is more effective at protecting against rock chips and other forms of impact damage, while ceramic coatings are more effective at protecting against water spots and chemical damage.

In terms of cost, PPF is typically more expensive than ceramic coatings due to the labor-intensive installation process. However, PPF is also more durable and long-lasting than ceramic coatings, which can start to wear off after a few years.
