Paint Protection Film VS. Ceramic Coating Side-By-Side TEST | What's The Difference?

What do you guys think of the results so far? Let me know down below!

Test it in Phoenix Arizona for one year

So after watching this. PPF & Ceramic is the way to go

I’m hydrophobic

Canadian here, if I apply PPF on my new car, will the film repair itself after winter?

I was stuck second guessing my choice to have PPF application to my new SUV.
And kept recalling how chipped up my last hood was.
After seeing this absolutely helps be to believe. This is a better way to go. It such a huge investment to see get beat up if you dont.
THANK YOU

Thanks for posting this.
One thing I did want to watch out for was the comparison of PPF vs Ceramic on the rock chips. I am a detailer and try to sell hydrophobi./ultra glossy PPF over Ceramic on the premise that Ceramic caters for wee scratches but not stone chips or road gravel So can Ceramic coating safeguard car from big scraxhes yes and stone chips? It maybe that’s to truky these this theorem you coat the hood side by side of the PPF. Arguably the higher up on the car bonet the harder to get paint danwgchipped, lower is more susceptible

PPF is (obviously) much better than a ceramic coating, however:

1) having it installed (and removed) is much more expensive.. Having PPF installed on just the front of a Model 3 might cost +10% of the cars value.

2) the edges and rock chips collect dirt, which looks ugly on lighter colored cars.

im putting PPF on the front and hood then ceramic coating the rest of the car

This was really useful, thanks!

I’d like to know more about the “yellowing” over time with ppf? Thank you!

This was great thanks for sharing

I have a black car and rock chips car pretty bad on black. Id get pff for dark color cars.

Thats the problem with black cars 💔there are so nice but it gets dirty so fast and gets scratches also . I recomed ppf on front and rest ceramic 😍😍😍

The problem of the PPF is PPF will never protect car from big deep scratches,
Even small accident or Small bump....

And after every 4 to 5 years PPF will have to change and when PPF Peel off after 4 to 5 years or more then it's possible to damage the original paint of the beloved car....

On the other side for installing PPF need to remove car original fittings which from factory and this is ridiculous for any brand new car.....

That's why I always prefer Best quality ceramic coating and ceramic coating has no issue, overall good paint protection minimum for 3 years after applying and don't need to remove any original car part or fittings.

Would love to try on PPF but it’s so goddamn expensive. It costs around 4x ceramic coating.

Pretty much get PPF and ceramic too. But it sucks that it’s so expensive 🥲

Problem with any coating is the cost. It’s astronomical.

I went PPF this time instead of ceramic

Is there a specific reason to choose one over the other? They both seem to do pretty much the same thing but are drastically different costs, so what do they do differently from each other? Or should I just be ceramic coating the PPF?

Super helpful video. I had so many questions before watching this video. It looks like PPF with ceramic is the way to go but I can imagine that would be expensive. PPF for the win. Thank you!

Hi approx the price for bmw I4
It’s expensive??
And have guaranteed??

Re touchups, what you failed to mention is that the PPF side cannot be touched up - the touchup looks silly on the PPF. It wouldn't matter so much if PPF could easily be replaced, but it's too expensive. This is a reason NOT to use PPF

Great video. Simple and straight to the point. Definitely helped in making my decision.

Depends on the price

so the better is just have bare metal for eva

I did hear though. Depending on how long you keep your car. The PPF will protect against paint fade. Unless you have the car fully PPF’d you will have areas that are slightly lighter and darker if the PPF isn’t covering those areas. Ultimately a full PPF is where you wouldn’t get those effects compared to partial.

Thanks for showing all the differences. Truly appreciate it.

Does this protect from rusts?

what's ppf?

Thanks for this so important information

Can I put PPF if I already got ceramic coating applied?

Would you guys recommend getting a ceramic coating over PPF on a vehicle that already has a few notable knicks in the paint from debris? Just got a black 4runnner were the paint is at an 8/10.

Would you put ceramic coating over the ppf ✌️🇨🇦🇺🇸

Is the self healing feature of PPF lose its strength over time? In that case it’s just a matter of time before scratches come up on the PPF as well. Same question with ceramic coating. How long will it sustain all the wear and tear? I can only assume that it’s safe to go with PPF and when it’s time to sell the car may be remove and cash in on the shine and maintenance.

What a great video. Answered every question I had in just a few minutes, glad I watched it. Thank you for using your car as the lab rat, I guess someone had to make the sacrifice

I’ll stick to ceramic coating. Found a local shop that did the entire exterior for $550. PPF would’ve been $2k

Does it ever pill off from bad windy and rainy weather? Hot/cold like weather in Florida? And how much does it usually cost for most mid size suv's

Can I do both?

Yeah, I had a black car in Chicago - never again.

Ppf is physically stuff however coating is just thin clear coat , ppf is solution to protection I think ppf wins 🏆

CAN YOU CERAMIC COAT EXPEL PPF?

Ppf turns yellow, atleast on a silver car. Maybe not black.

Thanks for the info 👍

Is it ok to clay bar a ppf if they get dirty? Thanks

Quick question…..I have read once in auto magazine that new paint releases some elements/gases…..OR in other words needs to breathe for 6 months before applying any protective film ……please someone clarify ….Thanks

PPF every time

For a daily driver the ppf is no way worth it. Ceramic coating is better especially if you do it yourself. Rock chips will happen at the cost of ppf you might as well respray your hood
