San Francisco PPF, Ceramic Coating & Tint FAQs
Most installs take 1–3 days depending on coverage and prep.
Gloss preserves the factory shine; stealth adds a satin finish while protecting the paint.
Many clients add ceramic on top of PPF (and/or on uncovered panels) for easier maintenance.
Paint protection film (PPF) provides physical barrier protection against rock chips, scratches, and road debris—it's a thick, self-healing urethane layer. Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that bonds to paint, offering hydrophobic properties, enhanced gloss, and easier cleaning, but doesn't protect against physical impacts. For ultimate protection, we recommend combining both: PPF for impact protection and ceramic coating on top for enhanced shine and water-repellency.
We’ll recommend film and shade based on comfort, privacy goals, and California considerations.
