I replied in that thread with why PPF is worth it. It can vary wildly depending on your area. If you're considering our shop, I am happy to generate a quote for you. Send me a DM.

So these are the reasons to consider PPF. Repainted panels damage the value of your vehicle for several reasons. They never match the OEM color 100%. They usually have to be blended and feathered into other panels. Cheap paint isn't good paint. many will boast, "I can get my car painted for...

@Cosmo Cruz getting PPF!

Give us a call tomorrow and we can chat about what you're thinking. You're a gentleman & a scholar.

Pottstown PA! Sorry for the delay! How PPF ages is directly related to how you care for the car. Installing ceramic coating ontop of the PPF would help with the weathering. Truly its all in how you care for the car. PPF will look like garbage if you abuse the car and don't wash it. But those...

Make sure you disclose that you've done that and ensure that at least a paint enhancement polish is included with the coating (most of the time, it is at that price). A quick polish will remove that "coating" from Adams. The Adams will disappear during paint correction, you don't need to prep...

Correct - although at a REALLY low rate, Rivian partnered with XPEL but ultimately the shops are the ones getting the shaft because Rivian sells it for next to nothing. This is correct. We appreciate your understanding and support very much. It can eventually clog the coating and it will...

As a shop, it behooves me to recommend you see a professional to do paint correction prior to application. But you could probably pick up a bottle of Adams and it would look good. I am going to break a cardinal rule and post Tesla content here. This is a progression of professional wash videos...

Ceramic coating cures to a hardness to help reduce washing and drying marring, add chemical resistance, adds gloss, makes it easy to clean. Ceramic coatings do NOT add any significant scratch resistance.

You can definitely mix - don't be super connected to Adams. Its generally just a consumer grade product and not that "great" in comparison to others but it does the job. You could absolutely top it with 303. But of course, using Adams "spray coating" wouldn't be a bad idea - products are...

It will depend on your context. Some coatings use a different carrier solvent than others, making them shed other coatings vs bonding with them. Can you give some more context?

Only if this something like GyeonWax which is a wax meant for coatings. But it should only be installed if the ppf has had an additional coating.

*due That's the solvent-delivered ceramic coating we are talking about. Yes. It can be reapplied. I don't understand how we are confusing this. The ceramic particles infused into the topcoat eventually wear off and don't come back. (meaning the particles IN THE PPF) The ceramic coating added on...

No one is arguing the fact that PPF is indeed the key protective element. Yes, the high contact angle is indeed the primary goal and creates a hydrophobic surface, but the ceramic that is impregnated into PPF (which is usually silicone assisted) doesn't replace the level of contact angle...

So PPF that is "ceramic coated" is technically only impregnated - you get a boost in gloss and some additional chemical resistance but it doesn't replace a traditional coating. We are a Ceramic Pro shop so we install their PPF & Vinyl Base & TopCoat, which are formulated to bond with PPF. PPF is...
