CERAMIC COATING OR PPF? OR GET BOTH?

After having PPF for the past month, I'm now thinking about getting ceramic coating. What is the difference with Ceramic Coating and Paint Protection Film? In this video Kevin breaks down those differences and talks about determining which one if for you.

@Teslafortheday, is it better to do the Ceramic coating as the final step after Protective Film? Or, do you do the Ceramic both before, and after any Protective Coating? I want to tint my car windows too but I'm not sure if I do this on top of or under coatings and films. I'd like to touch up the fading on the black areas around the outside of my windows. Is there anything I can do to restore the look of that? Thank you!

Great vid. I got my raptor ceramic coated day 1, but didn't get PPF. Huge mistake. i'm literally getting hood touched up tomorrow and PPF installed next week. Ceramic is awesome though. Dark color and maintaining it is so easy and worth the money

[@TeslaoftheDay]

Ppf has hydrophobic. Making it super easy to clean and it protect against rocks.

[@lu5445]

Probably better to get ppf on the hood and front bumper which are more prone to rock chips, and ceramic coat the rest of the vehicle. Ive had my car ceramic coated and it definitely makes a difference. It’s almost like a fresh coat of wax, a glossy shine that just looks excellent. But, ive noticed that the paint gets chipped noticeably easier with highway driving, and thats why id recommend the ppf for the hood.

[@TeslaoftheDay]

I’d get ppf over ceramic all day if I could only do one. You really do get both with ppf.

Great information. Question: does ceramic coating always have a gloss finish? We are considering a matt vinyl wrap (but probably PPF now 😊), so if we then add the ceramic coating, will that change the matt to gloss? Thanks in advance.

[@miut7995]

I thought paint correction is not required if you’re putting on PPF since the result will look exactly the same with or without. Can you advise the benefits of paint correction prior to PPF install?

[@seansaunders4617]

To properly prep the surface so the PPF adheres properly.

[@walooo]

Ppf will adhere either way. You want to paint correct first because the ppf will lock in the current condition of the paint when applied. Imagine having a bunch of paint swirls and scratches from a car wash...if you ppf over that, then the pff is protecting the swirls and damage. Those won't be able to be buffed out since they're under the ppf

[@HKX_ORANGECHICKEN]

Did you end up getting full ppf? Or are you going to stick with just the front? Asking because I jusy picked up my model y

Possibly new new ppf might. But most ppf is just a shield. Then the ceramic adds the extra UC protection.

Ceramic would help for sure for bird poop

[@J-J-TL]

[@seansaunders4617]

You are misinformed.

[@davidz7858]

For solid materials, hydrophobic or hydrophilic don’t mean it could absorb water or not. It means if this materials could form bonds with water molecules. If a solid materials is hydrophilic and water attend to spread across and maximize contact with it, you can see it is easy to form a thin film. That is how we judge if testing glassware is clean or not. On the contrary, water will form small drops on hydrophobic materials surface.
