This is an awesome and informative video. I Oradea my car from the factory and it’s expected to come mid next month and I will definitely be getting this ceramic coating on it! I want to try the Matte finish!
Why do you want the matte finish? Do you think that it will look better than glossy or the shiny one. What color is your car, which one do you think is better for a black Porshe ? Thx 🙏.
@@dondoit3336 If you love the matte finish look then matte ppf is the route for you! If not, we have a ceramic coated PPF that will enchance the existing gloss while making your vehicles paint scratch proof. The difference is purely aesthetic.
Hey Luis, not sure if we fully understand your question. But you can always have PPF applied to your vehicle. The sooner the better as there may be rock chips and imperfections that could have been prevented before application of Paint Protection Film. Visit: ceramicpro.com/ppfvinylquote/ to get a free quote from your local certified installer.
@@CeramicPROUSA his question relates to how PPF removes after its life has run out say, 5 years later. Does the removal process do damage to the paint?
@@L3x4Pr0ne No it will not. Sometimes some adhesive may be left behind depending on the ppf being used but that is easily removed. The only time it can damage paint is if the vehicle has been repainted poorly and it may pull paint if that is the case. However, most shops are very diligent about this and even repainted vehicles, if known beforehand shouldn't pull paint if removed with heat.
What’s the average cost to install on a full size car? I have a 1971 Cadillac coupe Deville about to get out the paint shop that I’m considering getting this paint protection on it. Thanks
My auto body shop said they would charge me $650 for a ppf I just don’t know if I should do ceramic or ppf I want my carbon fiber hood to stay good as long as possible
Hi! It's difficult to give a useful average because pricing depends on a number of factors including the condition of your car. The best way to get pricing info is by requesting a free quote from ceramicpro.com, and an Elite Dealer will reach out to you.

Ok so those were the pro of PPF. How about the cons, like: -how long does it actually last? -how does it impact the paint under it over time? -How often does it have to be replaced and how easy is it to do so (everything gets old and brittle)?
Hey Kevin, great questions. PPF technology has greatly changed in the last few years. Our PPF has a 12-year warranty. The paint isn't impacted in any way other than some adhesive that may be leftover which is easily removed. It doesn't need to be replaced unless the vehicle has a major impact or is in an accident.
@@CeramicPROUSA Oh ok, thanks for your clarification. So that means the film would need to be replaced every 12 years or so. Just a lil technical question, so whenever you're putting on or replace the film, do you wax the car beforehand to keep the paint underneath supple (not dry out and crack)? Or does the film just keep the paint in pristine condition for years and years...
I wonder , with these paint wrap films , ceramic coatings etc, and PPF films available now a days, can we avoid the painting of the car bodies and use only a surface coatings like CED in the car companies, that will reduce the cost of the car too much as half the paint shop is gone, no more robots, curing ovens etc. and you have colour choices at your doorstep.
Unfortunately auto manufacturers are cutting corners now more than ever and anything that can delay the process of production such as ppf install or ceramic coatings will not be in their best interest. What will be interesting to see is how tesla plans to handle the cybertruck as vehicle need to have a painted color by law and rumors say that they may be moving forward with wrapping them in house.
Will the ceramic on top of the clear bra prevent oxidation? Also, will the ceramic on top of the clear bra make it look like just like the original paint?
Our KAVACA PPF adhesive in combination with the coating on top of the film makes it the most optically clear film option available today. That being said, films today in general dont age as poorly as old films would on cars. The ceramic coating does help with that, but the technology in most modern films is much better than the brittle film you may have seen on some older cars today.
I have seen horror cases where the PPF bonded with the paint so much that pulling the old PPF would pull some of the paint with it. You'd be looking at potential expense repaint of the entire car. Is that still a valid concern?
Hey Nhat, so there are methods to removing the ppf that won't lift paint. Also, if the vehicle has been repainted the chances of this occurring is much higher. Older ppf didnt have the adhesive it has today, so many cheaper clear bra options 10 years ago would be a pain to remove but any of the newer PPF's dont have that issue.

Awsome video. Question. Was that Tesla model 3 glossy had a black paint? The rear bumper seems black but after the Matt finish it looks more like grey? Am I wrong?
I have a 2013 BMW 335I and it has numerous road chips on the hood and front fender I’m interested in getting the gloss black wrapped to a mat black finish what do you recommend
Hey Charlie, if the oem paint is gloss black, we recommend taking the vehicle to one of our 5000+ certified installers and having them evaluate the rock chips to see if they can even out that surfaces and fill it before applying a matte paint protection film. Visit: ceramicpro.com/freequote to be contacted by your local certified installer!
It depends on whether you want the entire vehicle protected or just certain high impact areas. Also, timing would depend on how busy the shop services your vehicle is. Visit: ceramicpro.com/freequote to speak with an installer about pricing and time to complete the job.
I am considering Kavaca ppf for dodge charger widebody. The car's paint is very glossy naturally so if I put regular kavaca and/or ceramic pro 9h it will be mirror-like which I think will be a bit too over the top for my preference. My question is if I did a full wrap of kavaca matte would a layer of pro 9h on top give an in-between satin/gloss effect? Or is the pro 9h strong enough to make it super glossy even on top of kavaca matte?
Hey Kyle, our KAVACA Matte PPF will make the finish matte, and even if 9h is applied it may darken the matte finish very slightly but not enough to change the appearance to what you are asking. If you want to keep the gloss finish and enhance the current gloss finish, we have KAVACA Ceramic Coated which comes with our Ceramic Pro coatings built into the finish.
Where are you located, I live in Los Angeles, do you have a shop in Los Angeles area? Also, my car is a black over black Porshe, I have no idea how the color will look like after the coating. 🙏
You talked about wrapping edges and I know not all companies do this. So what is the best approach? Also for my TM3 some panels do not have sufficient gaps between panels so is this an issue?

@@doose8187 Seamless lines for aesthetics. Prevents the need for any adhesives at the edges as it's tucked in the panel. Most importantly, when washing or pressure washing, the dirt can get stuck on the edges of the ppf and cannot be removed without removing the film which will leave a black line around the edges.
@@CeramicPROUSA Appreciate your view, I was very close to going with a full wrap with a local supplier (unwrapped edges). I am UK based. Will need to shop around further.

Hey Scott, it really just depends on what you are looking for! PPF will stop hard impacts while Ceramic Coatings will make it easier to clean and preserve your paint in its best condition. We recommend PPF on high-impact areas and ceramic coating the rest of the vehicle.
@@CeramicPROUSA Thank you! The day after I made this comment I found your video on the subject but I couldn't remember how to get back here to delete it lol. Thanks for your response though, your content has been really helpful!
@@scottfree6479 Happy to be of help! That's one of our biggest efforts this year is to create content to educate the masses about new protection technologies.
How does the film differ from the ceramic spray? I am in the process now, and it seems I am getting the spray and not the film, as initially proposed in the videos...
The film protects from scratches and rock chips, our coatings protect the clear coat and make cleaning your vehicle much easier while offering some protection but not rock chip protection for high impact areas.
Hey Debra, the removal process of PPF doesn't affect the painted surface. They heat up the adhesive and with quality films, it peels off with ease when heat is applied. If you're looking to get a free quote for your vehicle from a local certified installer, visit: ceramicpro.com/ppfvinylquote/
Definitely plan to get my entire car covered with the gloss however, you mention it comes off with heat? I live in Las Vegas where cars can easily bake in the sun at super high temps... would this affect it? Also, can you power wash without any problems?
Heat from direct sunlight and constant UV exposure will not remove the film or cause it to come off from your vehicle as our products are tested in extreme environments (places like Dubai & Arizona). That being said, if the PPF film is ever needed to be remove due to an accident, they will lift an edge and instead of yanking the film off from the paint, a method that is used to remove it easier and to separate the adhesive from the paint is hot steam (heat being applied while the film is slowly peeled off to ensure no damage is done to the vehicles paint and no adhesives are left behind)
Hey there! You have 2 options if you want to go with a vinyl wrap. 1. Apply the vinyl wrap, then protect it with our ceramic pro coatings. 2. Wrap the vehicle, then apply the paint protection film on top to preserve it.
You dont need to worry about the paint blistering or getting bubbles. The only time you would have issues with applying ppf is right after repainting the surface of the vehicle and not letting the new paint job outgas.
Biggest reason is there are too many options to give an accurate estimate. For Example, we offer Ceramic Coatings, Paint Protection Film, and Window Tint which all come with different prep, different price points, and based on vehicle size will vary on cost based on the amount of material needed. However, what we have done extremely well to combat this is to connect you directly with our Ceramic Pro Shops to receive a Free Quote or Estimate from them. Visit: ceramicpro.com
Price varies on the vehicle size and which film finish you want to go with (gloss or satin). Visit: ceramicpro.com/kavaca to get a free quote from your local certified installer!
@@EsenbekAliev_ Matte is to offer protection on an exiting matte finished vehicle from factory or to turn an existing gloss finish to a matte finish while getting the benefits of a paint protection film. If your looking for a PPF with the best self healing and hydrophobic properties, KAVACA Ceramic Coated (which is a gloss film) is the route to go.
PPF is too expensive for your average car. Front end PPF installs run $2k-3k. That’s upwards of 10% of a new car value just to have your bumper and hood protected. Whole car you’re looking at over $6k minimum. You can have your bumper and hood painted for less than $2k. Only realistic and feasible protection is for super cars, or vehicles over $100k, then the price value ratio is more in the car owners favor. It’s just not worth the price, hopefully someone will come in and drastically reduce PPF costs.
Hey Tio, a good quality front end paint job ranges around 2k-4k and a lot of the times depending on the paint, it will never match the same nor will the bumpers/trims etc match up like they did day 1. PPF is a more expensive option but for many, its the best solution and offers many other benefits such as scratch protection and making the vehicle look new always. Pesky rock chips on a brand new vehicle are never appealing to look at and we also offer ceramic pro coatings which is another great option at a lower price point. The average cost of a vehicle that gets a full front ppf is around 50-60k.
Pricing varies on the amount of protection you choose. Here are some packages: Front Bumper: Bumper & Headlights Partial Front: Bumper, Headlights, 1/3 of the hood, 1/3 of front fenders, front of side mirrors Full Front: Entire Hood, Full Fenders, Bumper, Headlights, Door Cups, Front of Side Mirrors, Rear Luggage Area Entire Vehicle: All painted surface areas of the vehicle + headlights Visit: ceramicpro.com/ppfvinylquote/ to get a free quote from your local certified installer!
Most manufacturers do offer PPF when you order the vehicle these days. However, they do a poor job of installation, and the film that is used isn't of great quality so it will crack, yellow, and age poorly over time.

At the end of the video you mentioned yearly maintenance/inspection service.
Can you elaborate more with what this is for those that get ppf?

Paint Correction and decontamination is a highly recommended before applying the film as you want to preserve the paint at its best.
Who performs this? Do you do it before application? Or the customer has to have it done before bringing it in?
So how do I go about purchasing this film do I have too be trained before hand?

Is it better to get paint protection film or a ceramic coating? Does it make sense to get both?
Hey Scott, it really just depends on what you are looking for! PPF will stop hard impacts while Ceramic Coatings will make it easier to clean and preserve your paint in its best condition. We recommend PPF on high-impact areas and ceramic coating the rest of the vehicle.
@@CeramicPROUSA Thank you! The day after I made this comment I found your video on the subject but I couldn't remember how to get back here to delete it lol. Thanks for your response though, your content has been really helpful!
@@scottfree6479 Happy to be of help! That's one of our biggest efforts this year is to create content to educate the masses about new protection technologies.

If there any limitations with this when it comes to washing your car?
The major limitation is using the correct soap that doesn't have colored dye in them that could stain the film.
Great informative video. Is this protection available in SW Florida, ie Fort Myers, Naples?
Yes, it is! Visit: ceramicpro.com/freequote to be contacted by your local certified installer.
How does the film differ from the ceramic spray?
I am in the process now, and it seems I am getting the spray and not the film, as initially
proposed in the videos...
The film protects from scratches and rock chips, our coatings protect the clear coat and make cleaning your vehicle much easier while offering some protection but not rock chip protection for high impact areas.

What if you want to remove, how dies it affect the paint is it sticky, paint removal?
Hey Debra, the removal process of PPF doesn't affect the painted surface. They heat up the adhesive and with quality films, it peels off with ease when heat is applied. If you're looking to get a free quote for your vehicle from a local certified installer, visit: ceramicpro.com/ppfvinylquote/
@@CeramicPROUSA If it peels off with ease when heat is applied, how does it perform in the desert when the car surface temp is 140 F in the sun...?
@@louismorejohn586 It perfoms with no problems. We have tested it in the roughest climates from dubai to alaska.

Definitely plan to get my entire car covered with the gloss however, you mention it comes off with heat? I live in Las Vegas where cars can easily bake in the sun at super high temps... would this affect it? Also, can you power wash without any problems?
Heat from direct sunlight and constant UV exposure will not remove the film or cause it to come off from your vehicle as our products are tested in extreme environments (places like Dubai & Arizona). That being said, if the PPF film is ever needed to be remove due to an accident, they will lift an edge and instead of yanking the film off from the paint, a method that is used to remove it easier and to separate the adhesive from the paint is hot steam (heat being applied while the film is slowly peeled off to ensure no damage is done to the vehicles paint and no adhesives are left behind)
Ceramic Pro excellent thank you. Now how about power washing? I like to power wash at self serve car washes... will that affect the film?
Great Question Samuel. Power washing will not damage or affect the ppf in anyway.
can you PPF and do color change on top of that with vinyl since vinyl wrap doesn't actually protect the paint?
Hey there! You have 2 options if you want to go with a vinyl wrap. 1. Apply the vinyl wrap, then protect it with our ceramic pro coatings. 2. Wrap the vehicle, then apply the paint protection film on top to preserve it.
Does it harm the paint like cause it to blister or bubbles?
You dont need to worry about the paint blistering or getting bubbles. The only time you would have issues with applying ppf is right after repainting the surface of the vehicle and not letting the new paint job outgas.
@@CeramicPROUSA how to outgas it properly?
@@atlasoverlandrecovery We recommend waiting 2 months to ensure the paint has outgassed and seen sunlight to expedite the process.

How much cost full body for my 2022 4runner?
Hey Benjo, visit: ceramicpro.com/freequote to connect with a local certified installer for a free quote.
Why don't you quote the cost and install charges in your videos?
Biggest reason is there are too many options to give an accurate estimate. For Example, we offer Ceramic Coatings, Paint Protection Film, and Window Tint which all come with different prep, different price points, and based on vehicle size will vary on cost based on the amount of material needed. However, what we have done extremely well to combat this is to connect you directly with our Ceramic Pro Shops to receive a Free Quote or Estimate from them. Visit: ceramicpro.com
How much does it cost to wrap entire car?
Price varies on the vehicle size and which film finish you want to go with (gloss or satin). Visit: ceramicpro.com/kavaca to get a free quote from your local certified installer!
Nice vid and explanation. Does the matte film have self healing properties?
Hey Mike, great question. Matte Films do not offer our instant healing technology.
@@CeramicPROUSA so matte is mostly for looks then? If you want true healing and less scratches glossy is the way to go?
@@EsenbekAliev_ Matte is to offer protection on an exiting matte finished vehicle from factory or to turn an existing gloss finish to a matte finish while getting the benefits of a paint protection film. If your looking for a PPF with the best self healing and hydrophobic properties, KAVACA Ceramic Coated (which is a gloss film) is the route to go.
PPF is too expensive for your average car. Front end PPF installs run $2k-3k. That’s upwards of 10% of a new car value just to have your bumper and hood protected. Whole car you’re looking at over $6k minimum. You can have your bumper and hood painted for less than $2k. Only realistic and feasible protection is for super cars, or vehicles over $100k, then the price value ratio is more in the car owners favor. It’s just not worth the price, hopefully someone will come in and drastically reduce PPF costs.
Hey Tio, a good quality front end paint job ranges around 2k-4k and a lot of the times depending on the paint, it will never match the same nor will the bumpers/trims etc match up like they did day 1. PPF is a more expensive option but for many, its the best solution and offers many other benefits such as scratch protection and making the vehicle look new always. Pesky rock chips on a brand new vehicle are never appealing to look at and we also offer ceramic pro coatings which is another great option at a lower price point. The average cost of a vehicle that gets a full front ppf is around 50-60k.
After few years ppf need replace?
Not necessarily unless there is damage on it from an accident of some sort that is aesthetically unpleasing. Our PPF has a lifetime warranty!
Any installers in Eugene Oregon?
Yes we do have installers in that area! Visit: ceramicpro.com/installers/ to find your closest local certified installer.
What's pricing

Front Bumper: Bumper & Headlights
Partial Front: Bumper, Headlights, 1/3 of the hood, 1/3 of front fenders, front of side mirrors
Full Front: Entire Hood, Full Fenders, Bumper, Headlights, Door Cups, Front of Side Mirrors, Rear Luggage Area
Entire Vehicle: All painted surface areas of the vehicle + headlights

If it were needed. Why wouldn't the manufacturers use it?
Most manufacturers do offer PPF when you order the vehicle these days. However, they do a poor job of installation, and the film that is used isn't of great quality so it will crack, yellow, and age poorly over time.

So when it comes to doing a car wash is it easier to clean the matte finish than the gloss finish? Mann out of topic but you really look like VIN DIESEL! 😎
