It is noted from the preliminary reading that the difference between them lies in the method of protection with the level of performance, and the cost, and below we will get to know the difference between them to help you choose the most suitable for your car:

Nano ceramics (Nano Ceramic)

  • Composition; a liquid substance applied to the coating and forming a transparent glaze.
  • Function; protects against dirt, bird droppings, acid rain and sunlight.
  • Gloss; gives the car a striking luster and soft touch.
  • Duration; lasts from 2 to 5 years depending on quality and maintenance.
  • Price; less expensive than PPF.
  • Disadvantage: it does not protect against scratches or physical shocks.

PPF (Paint Protection Film فيلم

  • Composition; a transparent layer of polyurethane is glued directly to the coating.
  • Function; absorbs shock, protects against scratches, pebbles, and frictions.
  • Gloss; preserves the original color of the coating, but its luster is less than nano.
  • Duration; lasts from 5 to 10 years.
  • Price; higher cost, but it provides strong physical protection.
  • The disadvantage; it does not give the same aesthetic shine to nanoceramics.

Which is better

If you are looking for protection from scratches and bumps ( for off-road or luxury cars) PPF is the best and if you care about gloss, aesthetic appearance and ease of cleaning inside the city Nano ceramics is an excellent option and some centers recommend combining the two PPF for shock-prone front parts, and nano ceramics for the rest of the car.
