The horizontal comparison of PPF with other protection methods：
- PPF vs. Glass Coatings – Glass coatings excel on windows for clarity but don’t protect paint, whereas PPF is engineered specifically for automotive painted surfaces.
- PPF vs. Clear Bra (Old-Generation) – Modern PPF offers self-healing and flexibility, outperforming rigid old-gen clear bras that crack in cold weather and lack repair abilities.
- PPF vs. Liquid Glass Coatings – Liquid glass offers 6–12 months of chemical resistance but lacks physical impact protection, while PPF combines 5 years of scratch defense with self-healing capabilities.
- PPF vs. Lacquer Sealants – Lacquer sealants provide a glossy finish but yellow quickly under UV, while PPF’s anti-yellowing formulas maintain clarity for a decade.
- PPF vs. Ceramic Coatings – PPF offers physical impact protection (resisting rocks/chips) while ceramic coatings focus on chemical resistance and hydrophobicity, with PPF lasting 5–10 years vs. 2–5 for ceramics.
- PPF vs. Wax Sprays – Wax sprays enhance gloss for 2–4 weeks but offer no scratch protection, while PPF provides long-term defense with minimal maintenance.
- PPF vs. Headlight Restoration Kits – Restoration fixes yellowing, while PPF prevents UV damage and rock chips on headlights, extending clarity 3x longer than restored lenses alone.
- PPF vs. Polymer Sealants – Polymer sealants offer 3–6 months of chemical resistance but no physical defense, while PPF provides both for 5 years.
- PPF vs. Graphite Coatings – Graphite coatings reduce friction on metal parts but don’t protect paint, unlike PPF which shields exterior surfaces from physical damage.
- PPF vs. Tire Dressing – Dressing enhances tire shine, while PPF has no role in tire care, illustrating their focus on separate vehicle components.
