As a body shop owner, we work on high-end and exotics, heres my 2c: PPF is a catch 22 and complete BS for the average car We've repaired many vehicles with PPF with very minor damage that the PPF wasn't able to protect against. So now you pay us $95 hr to remove the PPF + decon + cost of repair & refinish, then you can't PPF for another 60-90 days till the clear is fully cured. So if you have a vehicle which on average costs $1200 $1500+ to repair & refinish the front bumper i.e LC500, M4 Comp ect .. And you get a slight gash from a scuff that goes through PPF or minor fender bender. You've just introduced an extra $600-$800+ to the cost of just refinishing PPF might be worth it on Exotics or Collectibles, Hypercars which a bumper can run you 2k $3k++ ect because if you have endless pockets then whatever. Things we've ran in to with PPF cars: -Permanent water spot damage on the film looks like dog crap -Some films leave a ton of residue behind on removal $$ -Some films have horrible orange peel -Some films take away from the depth and gloss of the original finish -On hand cut & polished vehicles like Bentleys and Lambos you totally kill the glass look of these cars with PPF Anyways, it's a catch 22, whats next another film to protect the PPF? 😂

Depends on what you're trying to protect against? None of my rides are ppf'd, they are all cut and polished and ceramic coated As far as rock chips, on my weekend rides I make sure I keep enough distance away from the car in front of me on the road The faster the speed, the larger the distance Gives that pebble enough room for gravity to do its thing

I knew PPF wasn't perfect, but I didn't know it was that bad. I've been doing ceramic coatings for years now and they're great with new or old cars. Then I top the cured ceramic coating with Collinite 815 or 945 and then continue that wax regimen moving forward. Extremely deep and long lasting gloss, like a second clear coat. PPF is relatively new and cars I've seen with it have this "plastic look" up close. Still, I was considering it for my new car since it was "self-healing". Now I'll just stick to ceramic + wax. You just saved me the equivalent of $2000.

@@bo3baid I apply around 3 coats minimum. I only apply them under shade because they cure too fast in sunlight. I apply them using an applicator pad, in strokes, then buff them using a dual action polisher. Have to be careful since ceramic can streak. After the ceramic coating is cured, I top them off with Collinite 476s (for my light colored cars) or 915 (for my dark colored cars). I continue topping off with Collinite wax after every two or three car washes, so my initial ceramic coating is still there. Collinite lasts a lot longer than most wax. Only Soft99 Fusso can compete among carnauba-based waxes from experience.

I have been in the auto body business since 20 years. Ceramic coating lasts a few weeks so it’s not worth the money. Protective coating is only good if you do not scratch or wreck the car. If you get a small, scratch in the protective coating, it will cost you another $3000 to have it done again. Versus $500 for a small scratch. Protective coating is a rip off. Stop ripping people off!
