In the car protection business, Paint Protection Film (PPF) and ceramic coating are some of the most common methods used to protect a car's paint. Both have their own advantages, but is it possible to combine them? In other words, can you put ceramic coating above PPF like  Llumar Platinum Paint Protection Film ? The answer is yes and both together can provide the best security and appearance to your vehicle.

PPF serves as a shield to the exterior of the vehicle from minor exterior incidents like scratches, stones, and minor scrapes. It is a clear, strong plastic layer put on the car to take hits and protect the primary coat of paint. Ceramic coating on the other hand is a liquid polymer that forms a chemical bond with the surface to give it a hydrophobic layer that cannot be washed away by water, dust or any other contaminant. Altogether they provide a complete protective system.

Advantages of Applying Ceramic Coating over PPF

Enhanced Durability: Although PPF is incredibly effective in preventing physical harm, it is even better when a ceramic coat is applied on top of it. The ppf ceramic coating protects from UV light, oxidation, and chemical discoloration. This also extends the time of the PPF and the paint that is under it.

Improved Aesthetics: Llumar Platinum Paint Protection Film is glossy, and has high-gloss paint; applying a ceramic coating further boosts this. The fact that the car is coated with a ceramic coat also makes the car easy to clean and maintain which makes it remain as neat as that of the showroom for a long time.

How Ceramic Coating Enhances Llumar Platinum Paint Protection Film

Hydrophobic Properties: While PPF is mainly for impact protection, it is not always water or dirt proof. Llumar Platinum Paint Protection Film when layered with a ceramic coating increases the surface's hydrophobicity, thus it does not develop water spots or grime on the surface.

Self-Healing and Long-Term Protection: The Llumar Platinum PPF is also self-healing which means that minor scratches can be wiped off the surface after some time. PPF is further protected by a ceramic coating since it minimizes the possibility of dirt or contaminants settling into the coating.
