Should I Apply Paint Protection Film or Ceramic Coating for a New Car?

[DiAlice]

It depends on your needs. The differences between paint protection film (PPF) and ceramic coating are as follows: 1. Material Composition: The essence of PPF is a plastic film with special properties; ceramic coating is essentially a chemical reagent primarily composed of crystallizable silicon dioxide. Both adhere to the car's paint surface, isolating it from the external environment to protect the paint. PPF relies on toughness and self-healing for protection, while ceramic coating depends on absolute hardness. 2. Durability: High-quality ceramic coatings can last 1-2 years. New cars can be coated directly after cleaning, whereas used cars require polishing before coating. High-quality PPF can last up to 10 years, and it is mostly applied to new cars, with fewer applications on used cars.
