Is ceramic coating over PPF worth it?

Mr.Pringle · 01-23-2021, 08:22 AM

Hey guys! I just gave my car in for PPF. My friend recommended that I also ceramic coat over it.

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with just PPF and PPF with ceramic over the top? Is it worth it and does it make a big difference to the shininess of it? I watched a few videos but they seem to be misleading.

I'd anyone has any pictures of PPF before and after ceramic that would be awesome!

Really appreciate any help!

When I got the PPF installed adding the ceramic for the entire car wasn't much more... I can't remember exactly how much but I remember it not being bad. IMO it's absolutely worth it. Especially if you wash your own car.

Worth it.

When doing both, most shops offer deep discounts. Ceramic will make washing your car much easier and help that deep shine (especially with dark exteriors).

But more than shine, just the ability to clean your car easier is worth it.
