Drip 9H ceramic coating lasts 10 years with proper maintenance. SunTek Reaction PPF is covered by a 12-Year Manufacturer Warranty, subject to the manufacturer’s terms.
Ceramic coating gives gloss, UV protection and easier washing, but it does not stop stone chips. PPF is a physical film that protects the paint from stone chips and road debris. Many owners combine the two: front PPF on the panels that take the most chips, with ceramic coating over the whole car.
Leave the car unwashed for 48–72 hours after a PPF installation so the film can settle. For a new ceramic coating, we tell you at collection how long to wait before the first wash. After that, wash with a pH-neutral car shampoo using the two-bucket method, avoid automatic brush car washes, and rinse off salt after beach trips.
