FAQs
Clients usually ask these questions when looking into paint protection with us.
Do Ceramic Coatings protect from rock chips?
Ceramic coatings do not stop rock chips. They are a thin layer that adds gloss, protects against chemicals, and makes washing easier, but they are not thick enough to absorb impacts from road debris. If you want real protection from rock chips in Addison on the front bumper, hood, fenders, and mirrors, paint protection film (PPF) is the right solution because it is a thicker, self-healing film that takes the hit instead of your paint. Many clients choose PPF for the high-impact areas and a ceramic coating on the rest of the vehicle, then maintain both with regular detailing to keep the finish looking its best.
Should I do a Ceramic Coating or PPF?
It depends on what you want to protect against. If your main concern is rock chips, road debris, and physical damage, paint protection film (PPF) is the correct choice because it is thick enough to absorb impacts and prevent the paint from being chipped. If your goal is easier maintenance, better gloss, and protection from stains and UV exposure, a ceramic coating is the better fit.
Many vehicle owners choose a combination—PPF on the high-impact areas like the front bumper, hood, and fenders, and a ceramic coating on the rest of the car—then maintain everything with proper detailing to keep the finish in top condition.
What kind of tint should I do?
If your main goal is privacy and basic comfort at the lowest price, Vivid Comfort gets the job done with glare reduction and UV protection, but it will not cut as much heat as the higher tiers.
If you want the best balance of price and real performance in Texas heat,
Vivid Forte is the practical choice because the ceramic construction rejects significantly more heat while keeping visibility clear and avoiding signal interference.
If your vehicle lives outside a lot and want maximum heat rejection, the clearest optics, and a lifetime warranty, Vivid Signature is the correct option since the nano-ceramic film performs noticeably better in high temperatures and holds its appearance over time. When it's 100 degrees outside, you'll be thankful you chose this tier.
How is our detailing different from cheaper shops?
Our detailing is different because the prep work is built into our wash process instead of being treated like an add-on. We use proper decontamination methods, dedicated tools for each surface, and safe wash techniques to remove embedded dirt before we ever touch the paint, which reduces the chance of marring and leads to a noticeably cleaner finish. On the interior, we do not skip steps—we clean vents, seams, cupholders, and high-touch areas with the correct products and tools rather than doing a quick wipe-down—so the vehicle is actually reset, not just made to look clean at a glance.
