Your vehicle deserves the best in protection, but with so many options out there, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. At AMD Motorsports, two of the most popular services we offer for preserving your paint and elevating your car’s appearance are ceramic coating and paint protection film (PPF). Each has unique advantages—so let’s break them down to help you make the right choice for your ride.
Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer applied to your vehicle’s exterior that chemically bonds to the paint, creating a hydrophobic layer. It enhances gloss, repels dirt and water, and offers moderate protection against UV rays, chemical stains, and minor swirl marks.
PPF is a clear, urethane-based film applied to the surface of your vehicle. It provides physical protection from stone chips, scratches, road debris, and even minor abrasions.
| Feature | Ceramic Coating | Paint Protection Film (PPF) |
|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Gloss-enhancing | Virtually invisible |
| Durability | 2–5 years | 5–10 years |
| Protection Type | Chemical + UV | Impact + Abrasion |
| Maintenance | Easy to clean | Self-healing surface |
| Price | $$ | $$$ |
Yes! In fact, many of our clients choose PPF for high-impact areas like the front bumper and hood, then apply ceramic coating over the entire vehicle for added gloss and hydrophobic performance.
Choose Ceramic Coating if you’re after visual enhancement and ease of maintenance.
Choose PPF if you want maximum physical protection against chips and scratches.
Want the best of both worlds? Combine them for ultimate protection and shine.
Still unsure? Book a consultation with AMD Motorsports and we’ll help you decide based on your driving habits, budget, and goals.
