Technology & Materials

Film, ceramic, correction and combined protection — we explain the differences and recommend what suits your car. Get in touch with our studio.

Several different technologies address paint protection and condition today, and each one does something different. This page explains how they differ, so you know which combination suits your car.

Paint Protection: Film or Ceramic

PPF film is a physical layer we apply directly onto the paint. It protects it from stone chips, abrasion and minor impacts from everyday driving — in other words, from mechanical damage. You'll find more on the PPF Film page and in the article What PPF Film Actually Does for Your Paint.

Ceramic Surface Protection, on the other hand, creates a durable layer on the paint that makes washing easier and reduces how much dirt sticks to it. Against stone chips and abrasion, we complement ceramic protection with PPF film on the most exposed areas — see Combined Protection. The price depends on the coating line you choose and is listed on the service page. How ceramic protection actually works, and where its limits lie, is explained in the article How Ceramic Protection Actually Works.

Paint Condition: Diagnostics, Correction and Enhancement

Before we apply anything to the paint, we need to know its actual condition. That's what Paint Diagnostics is for: we assess the condition of the paint and tell you whether washing is enough, or whether the surface already needs further work.

If diagnostics reveal minor scratches or a loss of gloss, Light Paint Enhancement addresses that. For more significant damage, such as deeper scratches or holograms, Paint Correction removes visible paint defects. Exactly where paint care ends and protection begins is explained in the article Where Paint Ends and Protection Begins: The Layers That Decide.

Combining Technologies

Film and ceramic protection address different things, which is why they can be combined. Combined Protection puts technologies together so each one does what it does best, based on how you use your car. You'll get a price range as part of the proposed solution. When a combination pays off, and when one technology is enough, is explained in the article When Combining Technologies Makes Sense.

Changing the Look

You can also change how your car looks, not just protect or repair it. Design Wrap / Vinyl Wrap changes the car's colour and character without touching the paint. Window Tinting reduces heat and glare inside the cabin and protects the interior from UV rays.

When We'd Recommend a Different Route

If you mainly want a regularly clean car and don't yet need to address the paint's condition, Hand Wash is enough. Whenever you're ready to protect or repair the paint, we're here.
