PAINT PROTECTION FILM
What is PPF?
Paint Protection Film (PPF) is an impact-resistant, eight mil (.008”) clear urethane plastic, which utilizes a clear-coat finish to maximize the glossy finish of modern vehicles. This film is applied to the body of the vehicle in strategically appointed areas. Originally coined the ‘Clear Bra’, it is also known as Paint Protection Film, ClearMask, Clear Shield, Invisible Shield, Invisible bra, or Stone Shield. PPF is designed to prevent automotive paint damage caused by gravel, insects, road debris, rocks and even vehicle impact.
How Do Vehicle Films Work?
ClearBra paint protection is composed of a self-annealing outer layer combined with an energy-absorbing adhesive under layer. This modern technology creates a trampoline effect against rock chips - an owner's greatest worry. PPF provides a discrete barrier that is guaranteed not to bubble, crack, peel, or stain yellow.

CERAMIC COATING
Over time, your car’s paint begins to look a little less flawless than it once did. Your car is exposed to things like weather changes, harmful UV rays, bugs, dust, and other types of debris each time you drive it, which means that its paint is being damaged slowly.
Ceramic coating is a semi-permanent coating that is applied to the exterior of your vehicle to protect against external paint damage.
It is a paint treatment that’s applied in liquid form, but cures to form a hard flexible layer over your vehicle’s paint. When the chemicals bond with your car’s paint, they create a hydrophobic (water-repelling) effect making surfaces easier to maintain clean.
It can withstand a significant amount of damage without showing any visible effects on your car, such as fading, oxidation, and chemical staining.
Traditional paint coatings such as wax wear off much faster than ceramic coatings, with proper maintenance you can expect it to last for years without wearing off after being exposed to weather, components of the atmosphere, bird droppings, or other possible contaminants.
