What Ceramic Coatings Won't Shield Your Car From?

What Does Ceramic Coating Do For Your Car?

While ceramic coatings offer exceptional protection for your car's paintwork, there are certain factors they won't shield your vehicle from, especially in a state like Florida. From ongoing construction on the roads to the abundance of beach sand and rocks, Florida presents unique challenges that can take a toll on your car's exterior. In this blog, we'll explore what ceramic coatings won't protect your car from and highlight the importance of considering additional measures, such as paint protection film (PPF), to safeguard your investment.

Florida's Road Construction and Debris:


Florida is no stranger to road construction, with ongoing projects and maintenance work happening year-round. This means your car is constantly exposed to debris, gravel, and other road hazards that can cause chips, scratches, and damage to the paintwork. While ceramic coatings provide a strong barrier against environmental contaminants, they may not be enough to prevent damage from flying debris on the roads.

Beach Sand and Rocks:


With its miles of coastline and beautiful beaches, Florida is a paradise for beachgoers. However, the sand and rocks brought onto the roads by vehicles and winds can wreak havoc on your car's paintwork.Ceramic coatings offer some protection against abrasions and minor scratches, but they may not be sufficient to shield your car from the abrasive effects of beach sand and rocks.

The Role of Paint Protection Film (PPF):


When it comes to comprehensive protection for your car's paintwork, paint protection film (PPF) is the gold standard. PPF is a transparent, self-healing film that adheres to the surface of your car, providing a durable shield against chips, scratches, and other damage. While PPF is the best option for complete protection, even a minimum coverage of PPF can make a significant difference in preserving the high-impact areas of your car, such as the front bumper, hood, and side mirrors.



While ceramic coatings offer valuable protection for your car's paintwork, it's essential to be aware of their limitations, especially in a state like Florida where road construction and beach debris pose significant challenges. Consider supplementing your ceramic coating with additional measures like paint protection film (PPF) to ensure comprehensive protection for your vehicle. By taking proactive steps to safeguard your investment, you can enjoy a pristine and well-protected car for years to come, even in Florida's challenging environment. When it comes to protecting the value of your vehicle PPF and Ceramic Coating work hand and hand together and although  they both serve different purpose   together they are the dream team for your vehicle.
