Is Ceramic Pro PPF any good?

Yes. Ceramic Pro PPF is an 8.5 mil aliphatic polyurethane film with a self-healing, hydrophobic topcoat and a lifetime warranty; Ceramic Pro Urban is the 7.5 mil, 10-year version. We install both every day and the warranty is backed by the manufacturer, not just by us.

What it is

What makes it different

The topcoat is engineered to take a Ceramic Pro coating, which is why we can include a $549 coating with every Full Front and Full Body install and have the whole car behave the same in a wash. Stain and yellowing resistance are rated superior to Urban, and the film is thicker than most competitors' standard lines.

Compared with XPEL and the others

Against XPEL, SunTek and STEK on the numbers: Ceramic Pro PPF is thicker than their standard lines at 8.5 mil, carries a lifetime warranty where they carry 10 to 12 years, and is the only film with a Ceramic Pro coating system engineered for it. That is why the $549 coating comes included with every Full Front and Full Body.

What we see after years on the road

Cars we filmed years ago come back for maintenance details with the front end still clear and the paint underneath untouched. The failures we fix are almost always other shops' installs: unwrapped edges and dirt lines, not film breaking down.

Related questions, answered.

Why is PPF so expensive?
To better understand the price tag of PPF, we need to talk about what goes into the installation process. PPF installation requires thorough prep work in order to ensure that all dust and debris has been removed. This allows the film to properly adhere to the applied surface. Each piece of PPF is custom cut to fit each panel of your vehicle and provide maximum coverage. The quality of the film and the quality of the installation are what gives paint protection film a high price tag. Full answer →
Can you ceramic coat over PPF?
Yes — and we highly recommend it. If you know you won't be washing the car every month, adding a ceramic coating on top of your paint protection film buys you time and protection. PPF alone is excellent against physical damage like rock chips; a ceramic coating adds a glossy, hard barrier that also handles chemical damage — especially acidic contaminants like bird droppings that can etch the paint if left too long. Together, film plus coating gives you the most complete, lowest-maintenance protection. Full answer →
What does the Ultimate Armor package include?
The Ultimate Armor package is our best-selling combination of Ceramic Pro PPF and coatings. Paint protection film goes on the front nose and high wear-and-tear areas, Ceramic Pro coatings are installed over the entire exterior and on top of the film, and Ceramic Pro Glass plus Wheel & Caliper coatings finish every surface — layered protection with a lifetime warranty. Full answer →
What is the downside of PPF?
Three real downsides: the price, the fact that a bad install shows (edges, dirt, stretch marks), and that it is not permanent. Everything else you read about yellowing and peeling is a cheap-film or cheap-installer problem, not a PPF problem. Full answer →
