PPF & Ceramic Coating: The Dynamic Duo Your Paint Deserves

When it comes to protecting your vehicle’s paint, there’s no better combination than Paint Protection Film (PPF) and Ceramic Coating.

This high-performance duo creates a powerful barrier against Wisconsin’s harshest elements — from rock chips and road salt to UV rays and daily grime.

At Capital Auto Protection, we offer professional installation of XPEL PPF and System X® ceramic coatings, available as stand-alone services or combined for full-exterior protection. Whether you’re daily driving through slush and construction zones or preserving a weekend showpiece, we tailor protection packages to your driving habits, goals, and budget.

Option 1: What is Paint Protection Film (PPF)?

Paint Protection Film is a clear, virtually invisible urethane film applied to the painted surfaces of your car — especially high-impact areas like the hood, front bumper, fenders, side mirrors, and door edges.

At Capital Auto Protection, we use XPEL, an industry-leading PPF product known for its durability, clarity, and self-healing surface.

Benefits of XPEL PPF:

• Shields against rock chips, road debris, bug splatter, and minor abrasions

• Self-heals light scratches with heat

• UV-resistant to prevent fading and yellowing

• Designed to fit your specific vehicle with precision-cut templates

• Backed by a 10-year manufacturer warranty

Best for: Drivers who want physical impact protection, especially on Wisconsin’s salt-treated roads and gravel-prone highways.

Option 2:  What Is System X® Ceramic Coating?

System X ceramic coatings create a transparent, ultra-slick layer of protection that chemically bonds to your vehicle’s clear coat. Unlike waxes or temporary sealants, these coatings last for years — and with the Diamond SS™ or Max G+™ packages, you can enjoy lifetime protection.

Benefits of System X Ceramic Coating:

• Guards against UV damage, oxidation, and chemical stains
• A hydrophobic finish repels water, dirt, salt, and contaminants
• Delivers unmatched gloss and shine
• Makes washing and maintenance quick and easy
• Can be applied to paint, wheels, glass, and trim
• Backed by multi-year to lifetime durability

System X is trusted by detailers, dealerships, and car lovers worldwide — and Capital Auto Protection is proud to offer certified applications right here in Madison, WI.

Best for: Anyone looking to enhance shine, reduce maintenance, and protect paint from environmental damage and aging.

Together, they offer a comprehensive shield for every inch of your vehicle’s exterior — and help preserve that like-new finish for years to come which is Ideal for Wisconsin Roads.

In Wisconsin, your car is exposed to extreme weather, road salt, gravel, and bug splatter almost year-round. These conditions are brutal on your paint — and that’s why combining PPF and ceramic coating isn’t just a luxury. It’s competent preventative care.

Whether you drive a daily commuter, a high-end luxury vehicle, or a weekend classic, this protective combo gives you peace of mind and serious curb appeal.

You don’t have to do both — each service offers stand-alone value.

Why Combine PPF + Ceramic Coating?

Using both PPF and ceramic coating gives you the best of both worlds:

Built for Brutal Wisconsin Roads

Wisconsin isn’t gentle on vehicles. From icy, salt-covered roads in the winter to scorching summer UV rays, your paint is under constant attack. Road salt, slush, and chemical de-icers accelerate corrosion. Loose gravel and debris from plows or construction zones cause rock chips and scratches. UV exposure fades your paint, while bug splatter, bird droppings, and acid rain eat away at your clear coat.

Paint Protection Film (PPF) and ceramic coatings aren’t just about looking good — they’re your first line of defense against Wisconsin’s harshest elements. Whether you’re battling Madison winters or driving scenic routes around Dane County and beyond, these protective solutions prevent long-term damage and preserve your investment. Skip costly repainting and enjoy a long-lasting, head-turning finish that stands up to all four seasons.
