PPF is a thicker physical layer on top of your paint and will protect it from minor impact and scratches.
Many folks do both, get the car paint corrected, add PPF then ceramic coat the entire car. That’s ultimate protection at a cost (depending if you get the entire car PPF’d or not).
Hope that helps.

Ceramic over PPF? I think I’ve read that elsewhere in the forum, but still find it strange that a
ceramic coating would go over a
film… I know it’s probably just my lack of knowledge about both technologies.
