Ceramic coating underneath underneath PPF is nothing but a waste of money. Same goes for paint correction when applying PPF. Ceramic coating will only lessen the PPF's adhesive qualities. You may think this will help removal when it is only inhibiting adhesion. Ceramic will do nothing to inhibit chips.

I absolutely get PPF, have had many cars protected and know many people who have done the same. I've been fortunate to work with, arguably, three of the best installers in the country. I'm all about having the best installer use the right product(s), but this ^ process only fattens the installer's wallet. Ceramic coating, if used, should go atop the film.

Golden rule: PPF is only as good as the person installing it...
