Physical Impact Defense

Paint Protection Film (PPF)

PPF is a clear urethane film applied to high-impact areas of your vehicle. It's designed to absorb physical damage from road debris, rock chips, and other hazards. While not as glossy as ceramic coating, PPF is the best defense against actual impact damage.

Restore Before You Protect

Paint Correction

Paint correction isn't protection in itself, but it's a critical first step if your paint has swirls, fading, or light scratches. This process restores clarity and depth to your vehicle's finish, making it look dramatically better. More importantly, it creates the ideal surface for applying ceramic coatings or PPF.

Ceramic Sealant and Wax

Traditional waxes and synthetic sealants still offer temporary protection, but they don't provide the durability or resistance of ceramic coatings or PPF. They're best used as ongoing maintenance or for short-term needs.
