Without paint protection films and coatings, preserving your car's flawless condition becomes a challenge. From rock chips to scratches, the daily rigors of commuting, especially on the highways of Dallas-Fort Worth, can quickly wear away its pristine condition. Our protection solutions will help you keep your car looking as good as new for years and ensure an ownership experience unlike any you've had before.

These measures often prove effective, yet diligence in maintaining them typically diminishes after the initial ownership period. At CeramicFX, we acknowledge the importance of enabling our customers to enjoy their car ownership without feeling obligated to monitor every detail constantly or experiencing frustration from not taking proactive measures on time. This is where our paint protection films and coatings come into play, effectively shouldering the responsibility of preserving your vehicle's aesthetic appeal. By investing in our solutions, you can enjoy car ownership with more peace of mind, knowing that our products are designed to do the heavy lifting in preserving your car's appearance over the long term. WE CRAFT TOP-TIER PAINT PROTECTION BY IMPLEMENTING INDUSTRY'S BEST PRACTICES EACH CAR OWNERSHIP JOURNEY IS UNIQUE "AT CERAMICFX, WE TAKE PRIDE IN UNRAVELING THE DISTINCTIVE NEEDS OF OUR CUSTOMER'S VEHICLE AND TAILORING CUSTOMIZED SOLUTIONS TO ENSURE OPTIMAL PROTECTION AND LONGEVITY." When considering paint protection for your vehicle, factors such as your needs, preferences, long-term expectations, budget considerations, and maintenance routines—all play a crucial role. For instance, if you have a sedan, such as a Tesla Model S, and frequently commute on DFW highways or occasionally take it on road trips, protection against road debris can be a priority. On the other hand, if you have a full-size SUV, such as a black Cadillac Escalade, dirt repellence and ease of cleaning can be more of a concern. Every day, we interact with customers like you, and over the years, we've identified several indicators that help us steer our customers toward the right solution. To explore your unique needs, schedule a complimentary consultation! SURVEY Which feature of paint protection film holds greater importance for you? Enhanced invisibility with fully-wrapped edges: The result is a cleaner installation featuring invisible edges, so much so that it's like PPF was never there. Enhanced water and dirt repellence: When treated with ceramic coatings, paint protection films perform with improved slickness, UV resistance, and dirt repellency. Both We value your thoughts, especially if you're in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Help us prioritize your response by answering the following question: On DFW highways, which river's name is commonly seen on the rear of dump trucks that transport gravel? Elm Fork Trinity River Denton Creek Colorado River Brazos River White Rock Creek I don't know, ask me another question. We're referring to dump trucks that typically display signs like 'Keep back 200 feet' and 'Not responsible for any damage' on their rear. If your car stays in a supermarket parking lot for a significant amount of time, which bird species droppings are you most likely to find? Red-winged Blackbird Purple Martin Barn Swallow American Crow Great-tailed Grackle I'm not a bird expert, ask me about cars. These birds typically gather in large flocks and favor parking lots around shopping centers and fast-food stores, attracted by available food in trash and nearby trees.

FULL-BODY PPF STANDS AS THE PARAMOUNT PAINT PROTECTION Now more affordable with AFFIRM PAYMENTS In a perfect scenario where cost is not a concern, a Full-Body Paint Protection Film (PPF) would be the go-to choice for everyone who values their vehicle's aesthetics. Indeed, in this perfect scenario, one can even expect PPFs to be an OEM feature. However, in the practical scenario where budget considerations are decisive, OEM installations are confined to specific areas, such as splash zones. Due to the same constraints, aftermarket full-body installation is not a very affordable option for most vehicle owners either. While Full-Body PPF may not be the most budget-friendly option, it undeniably stands out as the best solution for paint protection and maintenance. With our Affirm payments option, you can now spread the cost of your Full-Body PPF installation over 6 months, and protect your car without having to make a one-time payment. Preserve your car's pristine finish today and enjoy the flexibility of paying in 6 months—with no late fees PPF may seem like a significant upfront expense, but delaying it either leads to costly paint damage or imperfections becoming the new norm for your vehicle—especially if your commute includes DFW highways. To make this crucial investment more financially accessible, we've partnered with Affirm, offering you a convenient monthly payment option. FULL-FRONT PPF: OPTIMAL PROTECTION AND VALUE I want my car to look its best! Full-Front PPF includes Hood Fenders Front Bumper Headlights Mirror Caps Full-front Paint Protection Film (PPF) may be the ideal choice for you if some of the following scenarios applies: Cost constraints Short planned ownership term Ownership type: Lease, rather than buy No previous experience with PPF Good track record of protection Primary use: Solo commuting Relatively less vehicle value When considering full-front protection, a common question arises: "While the front end is more vulnerable to road hazards, the rest is not hazard-free. What are my options to protect the rest of the vehicle within a more reasonable budget?" You have multiple options, and finding out which one is the best for you depends on various factors, including your vehicle's body style, your car washing practices, past experiences, and your expectations. A 15-minute consultation will help us discover your needs and identify the best solutions. One particularly popular and effective option is to protect the remainder of the vehicle with ceramic coatings. Ceramic coatings are renowned for their remarkable ability to repel dirt, withstand chemicals, and enhance gloss and hardness. However, it's essential to note that, unlike paint protection films, they do not protect the paint against rock chips or self-heal scratches—that's why combining ceramic coating with full-front PPF is a popular and effective solution. The chart below illustrates the comparative advantages of ceramic coatings and paint protection films and provides insights into what to expect from these products.

Our CARPRO ceramic coatings are designed to form a chemical bond with your vehicle's paint—much like how a clear coat bonds to the base coat, or a base coat bonds to the primer. The life of our ceramic coatings, or simply how long they last, is greatly affected by how you maintain and wash your vehicle after initial installation. It's crucial to understand that offering a specific year rating for ceramic coatings can be highly misleading. Unlike some installers who may provide definitive year ratings, we prioritize honesty and transparency. We refrain from making claims of a fixed duration because the real lifespan of a ceramic coating depends on your maintenance practices, which are beyond our control. At CeramicFX, we aim to ensure you enjoy the full spectrum of benefits ceramic coating provides for as long as possible. This commitment includes educating you on the proper methods to wash your car. By adhering to our guidance, you can maximize the protection and longevity of your ceramic coating, ensuring your vehicle maintains its aesthetic appeal and structural integrity over time. ▸What is the difference between ceramic coating and paint protection film? Ceramic coating and paint protection film (PPF) are two distinctly different products, providing unique forms and levels of protection, aesthetic improvement, and ease of maintenance to automotive surfaces. Ceramic coating is a liquid polymer that chemically bonds to the paint—creating a protective layer that is highly water and dirt-repellent, enhances gloss, and provides a barrier against minor scratches, UV rays, and environmental contaminants. PPF, on the other hand, is a polyurethane-based clear film that is 8 to 10 mils (200 to 254 microns) thick—double the thickness of your car's paint, which is typically about 60 to 120 microns thick. PPF offers a much more substantial level of physical protection, safeguarding the paint against stone chips, scratches, and any other incidental or environmental damage that compromises the vehicle's pristine appearance. ▸Does ceramic coating protect the paint from scratching? Ceramic coating enhances the hardness of your vehicle's paint, which might lead you to think it also significantly increases its resistance to scratching. It does but to a limited extent. It's more accurate to describe this benefit as an increase in "abrasion resistance" rather than outright scratching resistance. This distinction is crucial because the coating's ability to mitigate light abrasions and minor scuffs doesn't extend to preventing deep scratches or significant impact damage, such as those from key scratches or deep scuffs. The capacity of a material to absorb impacts plays a pivotal role in its ability to resist such deep scratches. This is where paint protection film (PPF) significantly outperforms ceramic coatings. PPF offers a much thicker, extremely impact-resistant barrier that excels in absorbing impacts, providing superior protection against deep scratches and scuffs and ensuring the vehicle's paint maintains its factory-perfect appearance.

These hazards have the potential to cause permanent damage to your car's paint, diminishing its fresh-off-the-lot appearance. Installing paint protection films is a proactive and effective way to guard against potential hazards. These films act as a sturdy barrier, protecting your vehicle's exterior from road perils and preserving its aesthetics and resale value. North Texas experiences a significant amount of sunlight throughout the year. The intense UV radiation can accelerate paint oxidation and fading. Regular protection, such as a ceramic coating incorporating a UV inhibitor, is crucial to combat this issue and maintain the car's appearance in the region's sunny conditions. Overspray on car paint results from fine-misted paint particles drifting beyond their target area, a common issue during spray painting operations such as automotive painting, construction sites, or residential projects. An often overlooked source of overspray is neighbors painting their fences or exteriors, impacting your car's paint finish and causing noticeable roughness and fading. This type of overspray and incidents at car dealerships are more prevalent than commonly thought. Swiftly addressing overspray is crucial, involving thorough cleaning with chemicals or clay barring to restore the original look, gloss, and slickness of the affected car's paint. Incidental scratches and scuffs, including those from fingernails on door cups or scratches caused by contact with tree branches, can drastically diminish your vehicle's overall appearance. These scratches range from minor superficial damage to deeper and more visible ones that penetrate the paint. While some individual scratches may seem insignificant, their cumulative effect can lead to a noticeable deterioration in the vehicle's aesthetic appeal over time. Protecting against every possible scratch is challenging, but preventive measures such as installing paint protection films are recommended to maintain the pristine look of your vehicle's paint. Bird droppings can have detrimental effects on automotive paint. If not promptly removed, the acids and enzymes in the droppings can penetrate the clear coat and even reach the base coat and primer, resulting in more extensive and costly damage. In North Texas, the probability of finding bird droppings on your parked car is relatively high, especially compared to some other states. Even if your vehicle is not under a tree, the high number of Grackles in the Lone Star state, particularly in supermarket parking lots, contributes to this increased likelihood. These birds often choose these areas for congregating and socializing, making bird droppings a common concern for parked vehicles in the DFW metroplex. Prompt cleaning is crucial to counteract potential damage from bird droppings, even with protective film or coating. Ceramic coating enhances defense against bird-dropping etching, while paint protection film acts as a robust barrier, offering a more comprehensive protection. Combining regular cleaning with these protective measures ensures resilient defense against harm from bird droppings. Road rash refers to the multitude of small chips that accumulate on a vehicle's front end due to the impact of road debris and small rocks. Compared to rock chips, these blemishes are smaller in size, but their quantity is much higher, making them more challenging to address through conventional paint touch-up processes. As a result, road rash is one of the factors that mar the original look of the front end of your vehicle and impacts its overall appearance. Preventing road rash is one of the keys to maintaining your vehicle's exterior in pristine condition, and in achieving this goal, paint protection film stands out as the industry-standard solution. Failure to frequently wash your car allows pollutants and environmental fallout to accumulate on the vehicle's surface. This accumulation, coupled with the moisture in the air and the wetting and drying cycles resulting from rain and hot weather, contributes significantly to the deterioration and fading of the paint. To counteract the adverse effects of pollutants and environmental fallout, it is crucial to engage in regular cleaning and adopt protective measures, such as installing paint protection films or ceramic coatings. These practices are essential for preserving the longevity and appearance of your car's paint. Brake dust, made up of tiny metal particles from brake pads, can harm automotive paint if not addressed promptly. The metal particles are abrasive and can create microscopic scratches, especially during processes like clay barring or iron decontamination with CARPRO IronX, a brake dust remover. This risk is significantly higher if the particles corrode and embed into the paint. The hydrophobic nature of ceramic coatings and paint protection films makes it more challenging for brake dust to stick to the car's paint and wheels. Even when bonding occurs, a paint protection film reduces worries about scratches due to its self-healing feature. This provides an extra layer of assurance for preserving your vehicle's appearance. In North Texas, where tap water is hard with a Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) value exceeding 200, water spots present challenges for automotive paint. The mineral content in tap water, including calcium and magnesium, can etch into the paint surface, leading to blemishes. It's important to note that ceramic coatings and paint protection films (PPFs) are hydrophobic, meaning they repel water.This property reduces the amount of water droplets lingering on the paint surface and the intensity of hard water etching. However, it's crucial to know that ceramic coatings are sensitive to mineral deposits. Therefore, we recommend not to park your car near a sprinkler or to wash it when it's too hot. In North Texas, the bustling highways constantly threaten vehicles due to flying road debris, often originating from construction materials coming loose from trailers. The extensive road network in the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex further amplifies the risk of encountering road debris and stones. Due to the high number of road and building construction zones through the metroplex, the likelihood of paint damage from kicked-up rocks is significantly elevated. In this urban environment, safeguarding the car's finish becomes imperative, making measures like paint protection film a crucial solution to mitigate potential damage. Bug splatter can adversely affect automotive paint, especially when left untreated. The acids in bugs can be corrosive to paint over time, leading to etching and discoloration. The impact can be more pronounced in Texas, where the warm climate encourages increased bug activity. This issue is particularly prevalent during evening and night drives, especially on city outskirts or during road trips. If left unattended, the acidic residue can penetrate the paint, causing more extensive and potentially costly damage. Regular cleaning is essential to prevent these adverse effects and preserve the integrity of your vehicle's paint finish, particularly after road trips. Ceramic coating enhances defense against the damage of bug splatter, while paint protection film acts as a robust barrier, offering more comprehensive protection. Combining regular cleaning with these protective measures ensures resilient defense against harm from bug splatter. Maintaining your car's original shine involves gently removing contaminants from the paint. While a car wash effectively eliminates contaminants, the method itself can inadvertently damage your car's paint. Removing contaminants like abrasive silica sand during a car wash without causing damage requires a meticulous approach. The challenge lies in removing these abrasives without letting them perform their abrasive action on the car's paint. If your car's entire body is wrapped with a self-healing paint protection film (PPF), you can worry less about car wash swirls and scratches. While a full-body PPF may not align with every budget, ceramic coating is the second-best alternative for those seeking protection without the same financial commitment. Ceramic coatings don't have the self-healing ability of PPF, but they excel with their ability to enhance the paint's hardness and water repellence. The increased hydrophobicity makes washing easier and keeps your car cleaner for a more extended period. Notifications
