Don't Choose.
Stack Them.
PPF handles the rock chips. Ceramic handles the salt and UV. Stacking both creates an impenetrable shield engineered specifically for Calgary's brutal climate.
How the Stack Works
They solve entirely different problems. Running just one leaves you exposed. Stacking them creates an uncompromising defense system.
Ceramic
PPF
Paint
1Top Layer: Ceramic
Acts as a chemical barrier. It repels road salt, prevents bug acid from etching, blocks UV oxidation, and makes the car incredibly easy to wash due to extreme hydrophobics.
2Middle Layer: PPF
Acts as physical armor. This 8-mil thick urethane film absorbs the kinetic impact of highway gravel, self-healing minor scratches with heat, preventing chips entirely.
Four Seasons of Threats
Calgary's climate never takes a break. Your paint faces a different hazard every season.
Spring: Gravel
PPF absorbs the impact of airborne aggregate on Deerfoot, keeping paint chip-free.
Summer: UV & Bugs
Ceramic coating reflects intense UV and creates a slick surface so bug acid washes off.
Winter: Salt & Ice
PPF acts as a physical barrier against salt; ceramic repels it completely.
Fall: Debris
Ceramic prevents acidic tree sap and decomposing leaves from bonding to the clear coat.
