I almost got into a fender bender few days ago from an entitled driver. I am now even more glad to have the defense plus ppf installed since it definitely would have protected my model 3 from that fender bender seeing how it protected this model s.

PPF is your best form of defense from minor fender benders and accidents.

The video I’ve always wished I could make! Nice work brother! PPF is what I was originally told ceramic coating would be. Anytime I have a potential client show up and they’ve seen a marketing video for ceramic coating where they’re beating lighters up against the paint or even setting the vehicle on fire I know I’m in trouble lol! Great video brother! Perfect world I’m protecting the vehicle from stone chips and road debris with PPF and then protecting the PPF with a coating. Have a great day and God Bless!

Great video and explanation. What Ceramic coating is better in your opinion Gtechniq or Ceramic Pro?

@DriveProtected 14 күн бұрын

I have been professionally trained on how to install both of their pro level coatings and I will say that Gtechniq is miles better than Ceramic Pro.

@@DriveProtected thanks for confirming that, it seems 80% of my local detailers are using Gtechniq.

Great video. Do you have a video on how to properly buff PPF? I used my new Liquid E. buffer and it worked great on a used panel I have, but I know I might be missing some steps. I have a few water spots and other small defects that I know can be removed if done right. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the kind words. I do not have any advice nor recommendations on how to polish PPF.

is there a difference in protection level or degradation in looks between matt finish PPF and glossy finish PPF.

There shouldn’t be.

I live in the Caribbean, where it gets extremely hot, and we mostly park out in the open (hot sun). How long would PPF last on a vehicle under those conditions? Also, does it damage the original paint finish if it is on for too long?

@DriveProtected 6 ай бұрын

Most PPF brands have a 10 year warranty against yellowing regardless of the vehicles location etc. PPF shouldn’t damage the paint being on it for a long time. As long as it’s removed properly, it should keep the paint underneath looking brand new.

Question for you boss... does ppf get swirl marks on it like regular paint does when going through automatic car washes?

@DriveProtected 3 ай бұрын

Yup, sure does!

@myetoob23 3 ай бұрын

@@DriveProtected ahh dangit, was hoping it'd protect from that lol. So the benefit is more so for protection against rock chips and scratches from door dings and such?

@DriveProtected 3 ай бұрын

Correct, however if the PPF has a self healing layer, lots of those swirl marks should go away under the sun.

@themikeroberts 27 күн бұрын

The self-healing PPF that I put on part of my sister's car 7 years ago does not have swirls. It does have some deeper scratches - which would be white and very visible on clear coat but are only visible on the PPF if they're in the reflection of a light because they don't turn lighter like clear coat scratches do. The clear coat on the other hand, is entirely covered in swirls and also mostly covered in scratches that are visible even without sunlight. This is from a few years of automatic car washes with brushes. The 11 year old clear coat is also now falling in areas not protected by PPF. PPF is so expensive, but there's no better product if you dislike swirls or clear coat failure and intend to keep your car long enough that polishing away the clear coat more than a couple times is a bad idea.

@zenon3021 6 ай бұрын

why does it feel almost mandatory to put a ceramic coating on top of PPF? (are you getting UV protection? Bug guts & bird dropping protection? Does the PPF last significantly longer with a ceramic coating on top?) Also, what do you do in 2-3 years when most of the ceramic coating is gone? (I hear it doesn't stack/layer well and the only way to remove the previous coating is to high-speed polish it - but if your car is PPF'd wouldn't the high-speed polisher mess up the PPF?

@DriveProtected 6 ай бұрын

This is a great question. In my opinion, the only benefit a ceramic coating will provide is enhanced gloss and ease of washing. Most ceramic coatings do not last very long and once they no longer bead water or perform, they can just be re-coated on without the need of paint correction. That is if it's installed over PPF. If it's not on PPF and on paint, then definitely do a paint correction first. Hope that answers that.
