Frequently Asked Questions

  • A ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that’s applied to your car’s paint and chemically bonds with it.

    What it does:

    • Adds a glossy, “wet” look

    • Repels water, dirt, and grime

    • Makes washing your car easier

    • Provides light protection from UV rays and minor chemical stains

    Think of it like: a super-strong wax that lasts years instead of months.

    Paint Protection Film (PPF) is a clear, thick plastic film physically applied over the paint.

    What it does:

    • Protects against rock chips, scratches, and road debris

    • Self-heals minor swirl marks with heat

    • Shields high-impact areas (hood, bumper, mirrors, etc.)

    Think of it like: a clear screen protector for your car.

    Want the best of both worlds? Many customers do PPF + ceramic coating on top.

  • Peninsula PPF recommends you use these products to best maintain your ceramic coating and PPF after installation.
