A Comparison of Paint Protection Film and Ceramic Coatings

Everywhere you look luxury cars are cruising through well-lit city roads and this is much shown in Dubai. However, the scorching heat, dusty gales, and relatively frequent sandstorm require rigorous protection for the automotive paint job. Are you asking yourself Paint Protection Film or Ceramic Coating? No, there’s no need to worry since you are not alone. Let’s look at it, in terms of Dubai.

How Does PPF and Ceramic Coatings Differ?

Paint Protection Film is the protection gear while Ceramic Coating is more like a fine polish for your car. Here’s how they stack up:

Paint Protection Film (PPF):

PPF is like an invisible shield; it is meant to protect the car from damage and abrasion. It is thicker and has self-healing properties that basically means a scratch or rub smoothes out when warmed up. This is well suited for Dubai highways.

Best for: Protection against stone throwing’s, abrasions, and shielding delicate parts of a car such as bumpers and hoods.

Ceramic Coating:

Unlike PPF though which lacks physical barrier protection, Ceramic Coating includes some powerful attributes in areas pertaining to repelling of dirt, water and grime principally due its hydrophobic nature. For instance, instead of giving a car a painted finish, we are making its surface rain proofed so washing becomes easy. Second, there always be that touch of showroom polish in your car regardless of whether you are driving on the dusty roads of Dubai or not.

Best for: Improve the shininess and/or lower the amount of effort required to maintain that shine.

Can You Have Both? Absolutely!

This logic of thinking is quite simple; why choose one when you can have the advantages of both? Here’s the winning formula:

• Start with PPF: Use it in high spot areas such as the front bumper, bonnet and the side mirrors to help protect against chips and marks from rocks and stones.

• Top it with Ceramic Coating: Treat the whole car including the PPF so that it acquires a high-gloss finish, increased beading and ease to wash.

This duo guarantees your car remains shielded from the harsh climate of Dubai and has the sheen of a new car right off the showroom floor.

Which of the Options is Most Suitable for Dubai Drivers?

If you travel a lot on the highways or near construction sites then PPF can be a great relief. This is done through the application of Ceramic Coating for those who want to make their car standout with the glow of brightness without having to wash the car frequently. However if you are determined to maintain your car to look as good as new for many years, then both services are ideal.

The climatic conditions in Dubai require the best solutions for car care services. Whether cruising on Sheikh Zayed Street or posing along The Walk at JBR, PPF and Ceramic Coating together can allow your car to remain pristine in every possible city’s throw. Safe your vehicle and ride in style!
