Which Protection is best for me? PPF vs Ceramic Coating
Feb 21, 2024

When it comes to preserving your vehicle's paint, there are two main choices: Paint Protection FIlm and/or Ceramic Coating

Each offers a unique set of advantages in ultimately protecting your vehicle's paint. In this blog, we'll break down these two top tier protection solutions, helping you make an informed decision about the best shield for your cherished ride.

Paint Protection Film (PPF):


  • At the forefront of physical defense, Paint Protection Film is a transparent, matte or colored polyurethane layer that is meticulously applied to the exterior surfaces of your vehicle.


  • Crafted from high-quality, flexible materials, PPF acts as an armor, shielding your car against rock chips, scratches, road salt, and other abrasions that can mar the beauty of your paint.


Ceramic Coating:



  • Ceramic Coating, on the other hand, is a liquid polymer applied directly to the car's exterior surfaces. Once cured, it chemically bonds with the factory paint, forming a protective layer that is hydrophobic, UV-resistant, and resistant to contaminants. 


  • This nanotechnology enhances the paint's durability, making it more resilient against the harsh environmental factors.


Comparing the Two

Coverage:


PPF provides comprehensive coverage, wrapping each inch of your vehicle in a physical shield.


In contrast, Ceramic Coating creates a molecular bond with the paint, ensuring complete coverage without altering the car's appearance.

Protection Depth:


PPF excels in impact protection, safeguarding against rock chips and similar hazards. 


Ceramic Coating offers a broader range of defense, including resistance to UV rays, oxidation, and chemical contaminants. However, Ceramic Coating will not protect your paint from rock chips.


Appearance:


Clear PPF is practically invisible when applied correctly, maintaining the original look of your car. Different PPF options such as Colored or Matte PPF can change your paint appearance. 


Ceramic Coating enhances the paint's depth and gloss, giving it a polished and vibrant appearance.


Conclusion:

In the world of automotive protection, Paint Protection Film and Ceramic Coating are the two best options for protection. The best protection you can get would be a Full Paint Protection Film Wrap, however, the protection we mostly recommend to our customers would be a Full Front PPF with our Rivali Private Label Ceramic Coating protecting the remainder of the vehicle's paint.

Don't wait. Get protected today.
