PPF install & Ceramic coating- Clear bra or Matte finish?
Hi have an Alpine White M4 vert. and planning to the PPF done on the car as I live in the Pothole State of New Jersey and road debris everywhere.. what is the difference between the clear bra and matte finish besides the dull finish of the matte film? would the matte film help block radar?
As far as ceramic coating is concerned, why get ceramic coating on top of the PPF when the plastic is already shiny (clear bra) and the car would be prepped prior to install of the ppf? What do you recommend? Clear or Matte finish? |

The ceramic coating will protect the PPF as the PPF still needs maintenance from droppings, bugs, acidic things. It's not required. Some people put ceramic coating underneath before the PPF.

what is the prep work done b PPF installers prior to applying on the vehicle? I'm thinking for getting just the PPF for the front of the car and no ceramic coating..

My installer told me it's harder to apply PPF on a ceramic coated car because it's slicker.
