Yes, paint protection film (PPF) can help protect your vehicle from rock chips and other minor abrasions. PPF is a clear, durable polyurethane film applied to the painted surfaces of your car, typically in areas most susceptible to damage, such as the front bumper, hood, fenders, and side mirrors.

While PPF provides excellent protection against rock chips, it's not invincible. Larger debris or very high-speed impacts could still cause damage, but it will absorb a lot of the impact that would otherwise result in chipped or cracked paint.

If you're concerned about maintaining your car's paint and keeping it free from rock chips, applying PPF can be a worthwhile investment.

Easy answer.....NO! 

For PPF (Paint Protection Film):

• Brushes can damage the PPF: The brushes in automatic car washes are often harsh and abrasive, especially if they are made of stiff materials. Over time, the friction from the brushes can scratch or scuff the surface of the PPF, diminishing its clarity and appearance.
• Risk of lifting edges: The brushes may tug on the edges of the film, leading to lifting or peeling which could void the warranty of the film.

For Ceramic Coating:

• Brushes can cause scratches: Ceramic coatings add a hydrophobic layer that makes it easier to wash your car, but they don’t make the paint impervious to scratches. The brushes in an automatic car wash can still introduce fine scratches or swirl marks on the coating, reducing its effectiveness and the overall look of the paint.
• Long-term wear: The abrasive action of brushes can degrade the ceramic coating faster than hand washing or touchless washing, as it wears down the hydrophobic properties and can leave water spots or imperfections on the surface.

Ideal Washing Options:

1. Touchless Automatic Car Washes: These are typically safe for cars with PPF or ceramic coatings because they use high-pressure water and soap to clean the car without physically touching the surface.
2. Hand Washing: Using a microfiber mitt, a gentle car shampoo, and clean water is the safest option to maintain both PPF and ceramic coatings.
3. Avoid Brushes: Regardless of whether you have PPF or ceramic coating, it’s best to steer clear of automatic washes with brushes. The friction can cause more harm than good over time.

If you're looking to preserve the investment in your PPF or ceramic coating, hand washing or using a touchless wash will be the most gentle and effective way to keep your car looking its best.

• Windshield: Top 5 inches of the windshield can have tint (referred to as the "eyebrow") May also get full tint at 70% VLT (Clear Film)
• Front side windows: At least 25% VLT (no darker than 25%).
• Rear side windows: No limit
• Rear window: No limit

It’s always a good idea to check with a local professional or tint shop to ensure your tint is legal and meets the state’s requirements!

Why the Process Takes Days:

• Multiple Steps: Both PPF and ceramic coating involve multiple steps that cannot be rushed. Prep is key. Each layer or piece needs to be applied with care and precision, and any mistakes (like dust particles under the film or coating) can result in imperfections.

• Curing Time: Both products need time to cure and fully bond to the vehicle's paint. Rushing this process could compromise the effectiveness of the protection.

• Professional Expertise: Applying PPF and ceramic coating is a skilled, detail-oriented process. It requires a trained technician to do it properly, which takes time to ensure that the film adheres well and the coating bonds effectively.

In summary, the time involved in PPF and ceramic coating applications is due to the careful preparation, application process, and necessary curing times. It ensures that both products provide maximum protection, durability, and aesthetics once the process is complete.
