Ceramic Coating or Paint Protection Film?

Both provide a layer of protection, but they are not the same type of protective layer! Knowing the difference between the two will help you understand what best fits your need and budget.




Ceramic Pro Ceramic Coatings

Applying a ceramic shell to your vehicle is like giving it an expendable or sacrificial clear coat. Swirl marks and other kinds of harm will be in the coating and not on your clear coat! Utilizing Nanotechnology, this fluid polymer contains minuscule particles that unite to frame an incredibly thin and translucent layer that is totally imperceptible to the exposed eye. This glossy, even, and profoundly slippery (hydrophobic) layer brings down the surface strain helping forestall harm from natural contaminations, for example, feathered creature droppings, bugs, soil, tar, acrid rain, mineral stores and other acidic pollutants. Because of the hydrophobic properties water without any problem contains these acidic pollutants and they slide off the surface. That is the reason individuals state that Ceramic Coated vehicle's clean themselves!


Having a different coating type specific to the area it's being applied helps to make sure the protection lasts as long as possible.

Paint Protection Film - Clear Bra

Applying Kavaca by Ceramic Pro or Stek paint protection film to your vehicle gives it more strength and resistance to damage than a Ceramic Coating can. Typically applied to the forward facing pieces of your vehicle it will take the hit from the car in front of you and save you from getting a rock chip! It is a thick physically barrier between your clear coat and the world that takes those small rock chips and minor scratches and self heals! If you get chemical damage, bug splatter, water spots, tree sap, or other chemical etch marks on your vehicle we can simply remove the paint protection film and your vehicle will look brand new again. This gives you much more protection than a Ceramic Coating, but offers the same glossy, smooth, hydrophobic surface that you get from the Ceramic Coating.
