Key points
PPF vs. Ceramic Coating: What Does Your Car Need?
Calgary winter roads are notoriously harsh on automotive paint. Highway 2 and Stoney Trail spread gravel and de-icing chemicals that cause rock chips and clear-coat etching.
Paint Protection Film (PPF): Physical urethane film that absorbs stone impacts on high-strike zones (hood, bumper, fenders, side mirrors). Full front packages cost $1,200 - $1,900 CAD.
Ceramic Coating: Liquid polymer bonding with paint that creates a hydrophobic, chemical-resistant barrier against salt and slush.
