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.

[@simd510]

Why not just get hood repainted or repaired if it gets lots of chips. Ppf is hard to install well, needs to be replaced over time which means you have to pay to have it removed and then pay again for reapplication?

[@marclyons5635]

Very helpful video. I had a lot of the same questions that you had. Now, everything my professional was telling me today makes more sense.

[@TeslaoftheDay]

Awesome man. Ya I had lots of questions so I wanted to make a clear video explaining.

[@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.

[@6.2ltrv85]

@@TeslaoftheDay What if you have a car w like 5K miles on it and I got a couple of chips, literally most ppl could not find them. Car guys yes, the average joe, no. I put it off due to the expense but now I can afford it. The car is rare, and it will only ever get driven for the sake of driving it. I may wanna take it on a trip to DRIVE it so I want or need the protection. What happens, or how do you handle pre existing chips? I know its done as ppl get all kinds of cars covered but just curious. Thanks

I have full PPF wrap & added ceramic coat on our 2018 lrm3 and 2020 lrmy. No regrets…we would have so many dings from rocks on the sides and front without it.

Those are the only two Chips on my car!!

When you say you wipe down your car every other day, what do you do? What's your process of wiping it down? Do you give it a full wash?

[@mikey5518]

You can just buy ceramic coating from your local auto part store. Spray it on wipe it off. Don’t need a shop to do it and charge a crazy price. Ppf is different and this should be professionally installed.

What’s the price of full ppf on your car

[@JosephMoralez-oo2ud]

If you go with both C.C. and PPF will the healing properties in the PPF be effected by the C.C. and it's UV protection as far as healing proyworks?

[@kevinsaint20]

Ceramic coatings enhance the healing properties and UV protection but it’s honestly overkill. PPF is sufficient, no real need for ceramic over the top unless you don’t wash your car for months on end. Even then, ceramic coatings require special car wash shampoos, have to be boosted every 6-12 months, etc.

[@hezrimustapha6906]

So if we are to do both ceramic coating and ppf say on the front part of the car, do we: 1) put the coating on the paint, then put the ppf, and then put another coating on the ppf? OR 2) put the ppf, and then apply coating on the ppf?

[@TeslaoftheDay]

Ppf first then ceramic coat on top

[@romaverickhith]

Doesnt ceramic coating on ppf destroy the self-healing capabilities of ppf?

[@JJBIRDIEGOLF]

[@TeslaoftheDay]

[@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

[@vincentlabajosa4281]

what is better? PPF first then ceramic coating? or the other way around?

[@ScreaminEmu]

I park my car in my Apartment complex’s garage. It’s bird poop city. Sounds like ceramic’s a good choice. That said, it’s an apartment garage… I don’t have a hose or a place to wash. Is ceramic + a touch free car wash an option, or does ceramic “require” more maintenance?

So if I ceramic coat - PPF - ceramic coat, service regularly and detail interior regularly... then no serious depreciation in value for the vehicle. If I'm spending six figures on a car, it's NOT getting sold because NOW its a family heirloom!

you just need to ppf and then ceramic on top of the PPF. Vehicles will depreciate unless its a rare type of car. PPF and ceramic just helps protect and preserve the paint over time.
