- PPF (Paint Protection Film): A self-healing, crystal-clear urethane film that acts as a physical shield. It defends against rock chips, scratches, road debris, and bird droppings, making it the highest level of impact protection.

- Ceramic Coating: A liquid polymer that chemically bonds to your vehicle’s paint. It creates a long-lasting, hydrophobic layer that delivers extreme gloss, UV protection, chemical resistance, and makes washing easier. *Note: It does not stop rock chips.*

- Vinyl Wrap: A cosmetic film used to transform your vehicle’s style (color, texture, or finish). While it adds a layer of UV and abrasion resistance, it is not designed to stop heavy impact like PPF.

Absolutely. The ultimate combo is PPF + Ceramic Coating. PPF provides the physical shield, while ceramic coating on top enhances gloss, adds hydrophobic protection, and makes cleaning effortless. Many luxury owners choose this dual approach.

We strongly recommend avoiding brush-style automatic car washes. The harsh bristles and aggressive chemicals can scratch or degrade protective layers like ceramic coatings, PPF, or vinyl wraps.

Best options:

- Touchless washes (safe)

- Two-bucket hand wash with pH-neutral soap (ideal)

- Or even better: Visit any of our Extreme Detail Garage locations. Simply let our team know what services your vehicle has received (ceramic coating, PPF, or wrap), and our trained staff will wash it using the correct techniques and products. This ensures your investment looks its absolute best for years to come.

We suggest pH-neutral soaps and high-quality microfiber towels. For best results, ask us about our Extreme Detail Garage-approved care products—specially designed for coated and filmed vehicles.

No. Ceramic is for environmental protection (UV, chemicals, water spots, stains) and an ultra-gloss finish. For chip resistance, pair it with PPF.

Yes! Applying ceramic over PPF or vinyl enhances gloss, adds slickness, and simplifies cleaning.
