While ceramic coating forms a protective hydrophobic layer on your vehicle, it is not a shield against scratches or rock chips. For complete protection from physical damage, we recommend pairing ceramic coating with paint protection film (PPF). This combination offers superior defense against the elements and daily wear.
Contrary to popular belief, ceramic coating and PPF work wonderfully together. When applied over PPF, ceramic coating boosts the gloss, depth, and hydrophobic properties of your vehicle’s surface. This makes your car easier to clean and maintain while providing enhanced protection.
Some people believe that washing a ceramic-coated car at home can damage the coating. However, you can safely wash your car at home, as long as you use the proper tools and cleaning techniques. Ceramic coating makes cleaning easier by repelling dirt and water, but using non-abrasive products ensures the longevity of the coating.
Even brand-new vehicles require preparation before applying a ceramic coating since they can come with very minor scratches from the dealership. Without proper paint polishing, the coating can emphasize any minor imperfections in the paint. At The Tint Laboratory, we always perform thorough paint corrections to ensure a smooth and flawless surface before applying ceramic coatings, guaranteeing the best results.
While ceramic coatings are incredibly durable, they don’t last indefinitely. The lifespan of a coating depends on environmental factors and maintenance. Regular care and upkeep can extend the life of your ceramic coating, maintaining its protective properties and glossy shine.

PPF is a thin, transparent layer applied to your vehicle’s surface to guard against various damage. It protects against rock chips, scratches, bird droppings, bug splatter, and light scuffs. It also offers added durability and enhances the car’s shine. The hydrophobic nature of PPF makes maintenance easier by repelling dirt and water.
Ceramic coating is a liquid that bonds to your vehicle’s paint, forming a protective layer once cured. It helps shield against oxidation, swirl marks, and minor scratches. Ceramic coating also boosts your car’s gloss and shine, and its hydrophobic properties keep your vehicle cleaner by repelling dirt and water.
