Frequently Asked Questions

Should I get ceramic coating or PPF?
It depends on your priorities. Ceramic coating provides hydrophobic protection, UV resistance, and deep gloss starting at $195. PPF provides physical protection against rock chips and scratches starting at $895. For maximum protection, many customers combine both — PPF on high-impact areas and ceramic coating over the entire vehicle.
Can I combine ceramic coating with PPF?
Yes! In fact, we recommend it. Our Guardian bundle combines Full Front PPF with ceramic coating for comprehensive protection. PPF handles physical impacts while ceramic coating adds hydrophobic properties and gloss to the entire vehicle.
What's the difference between window tinting and ceramic coating?
Window tinting protects your vehicle's interior by blocking UV rays and reducing heat through the glass. Ceramic coating protects your vehicle's exterior paint with a hydrophobic, scratch-resistant layer. They serve different purposes and many customers get both.
Is paint correction necessary before ceramic coating?
Paint correction is recommended before ceramic coating because the coating locks in whatever condition your paint is in. If you have swirl marks or scratches, they'll be sealed under the coating. Paint correction removes these defects first, ensuring a flawless finish under the ceramic layer.
How do I choose the right protection for my vehicle?
Consider your driving habits, budget, and goals. For budget-friendly protection, start with window tinting ($155+) or ceramic coating ($195+). For highway drivers, PPF ($895+) prevents rock chips.
