Which is better for cars: crystal coating or film coating?

Here are the differences between car crystal coating and film coating: 1. Brightness: Crystal coating provides a diamond-like 3D dazzling effect, while film coating only offers a crystal-clear mirror-like finish. 2. Principle: Film coating penetrates the protective agent into the car paint to enhance its protective effect, whereas crystal coating forms a protective film of certain thickness on the paint surface, creating a solid shield. 3. Scratch resistance: The film layer formed by crystal coating is 2-3 times thicker than ordinary film coating, making its scratch resistance significantly better. 4. Durability: Crystal coating uses inorganic crystalline materials that are highly stable, never oxidizing or decomposing, thus offering longer-lasting durability. 5. Material composition: Film coating is organic, while crystal coating is completely inorganic.

I've been driving for over a decade and have tried both ceramic coating and paint protection film (PPF), each with their own pros and cons. Ceramic coating applies a ceramic-like protective layer that enhances paint gloss, causes water to bead and roll off quickly, reducing car wash frequency - perfect for urban commuting. However, it can't prevent scratches from hard objects like tree branches or roadside stones, and damaged areas require reapplication. PPF is a transparent film offering stronger physical protection against scratches and acid rain, especially useful for frequent highway driving or parking in harsh environments. My advice: choose based on driving conditions - ceramic coating for city drivers seeking convenience, PPF better suits those who frequently drive highways or engage in outdoor activities. Remember to maintain with regular waxing to prolong effectiveness and prevent protective layer degradation from affecting your beloved vehicle.
