Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a thick, clear polyurethane physical wrap that excels at stopping rock chips, scratches, and minor road debris. Ceramic Coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds to your factory paint, providing a permanent, ultra-glossy, hydrophobic barrier against chemical stains, UV rays, and dirt, but it will not stop rock chips.

It depends entirely on the option you choose: High-quality PPF: Typically lasts 5 to 10 years, depending on the brand and how well it is maintained. Professional Ceramic Coatings: Usually last between 2 to 5 years. Traditional Waxes/Sealants: Only last 1 to 6 months.

Important: No, you should avoid washing your car for at least 7 days after application. Both PPF and Ceramic Coatings require time to properly cure and bond to your vehicle's surface. Washing the car too soon—especially with harsh soaps or high-pressure washers—can disrupt this process and ruin the finish.

No, nothing makes a car entirely "scratch-proof." However, PPF is highly scratch-resistant and features self-healing properties, meaning minor swirls and light scratches will disappear when exposed to heat (like sunlight or warm water). Ceramic coatings offer minor scratch resistance but are mostly designed to prevent environmental etching and staining.

Yes, but it usually requires paint correction (polishing out existing scratches and swirls) beforehand. Applying protection seals the paint in its current state, so investing a little extra upfront to fix defects ensures your used car looks its absolute best before it is locked in under the protective layer.
