LPPF®

Is LPPF® a film?+

No. LPPF® is applied as a liquid and cures into a seamless clear layer over your factory clear coat — there are no film edges to lift or peel.

How is LPPF® different from film PPF?+

Film is cut and stretched over your panels, so it has edges that can peel and it can yellow over time. LPPF® is sprayed on like a clear coat and cures seamlessly — no edges, no yellowing, and it heals itself.

How does self-healing work?+

LPPF® is built on reversible hydrogen bonds. When a light scratch breaks them, they re-form across the gap and close it. See the technology.

Will it yellow or peel?+

No. LPPF® never yellows and has no edges to peel.

Will it change how my paint looks?+

LPPF® is crystal clear and enhances gloss.

Can it go on an older car?+

Yes. LPPF® is applied over cured paint, newer or aged — your installer adjusts surface prep to your finish.

Ceramic

How long does ceramic last?+

Up to 5 years with the 5-Year formula and up to 8 years with the 8-Year formula, depending on environmental factors like sun exposure, climate and how the vehicle is washed.

What’s the difference between 5-Year and 8-Year?+

Both use the same nanocomposite technology for paint, metal and wheels. The 8-Year formula is engineered to last longer.

What can ceramic be applied to?+

Paint, metal and wheels.

Is ceramic the same as LPPF®?+

No. Ceramic is a thin nano coating for gloss and easy care. LPPF® is a self-healing fluoropolymer that protects against chips and light scratches. Compare them.

Pricing & quotes

How much does it cost?+

Pricing depends on your vehicle and the coverage you choose. Use the Instant Quote to see your exact price in a few steps.

Why does price depend on my vehicle?+

Larger vehicles like trucks and SUVs have more surface to protect. The Instant Quote prices your specific body class and coverage.

Can I save my quote?+

Yes. Enter your email in the Instant Quote and we’ll send you a copy to come back to later.

Installation

Where is it installed?+

Exclusively at certified Crash Champions installation centers. LPPF® is sprayed like a clear coat, so it’s applied by collision-repair technicians, not detailers. Ceramic is applied by the same team. Choose your nearest center when you book in the Instant Quote.

How do I book an install?+

Finish your Instant Quote, choose a nearby Crash Champions center and pick a drop-off date and time.

How long will my car be at the shop?+

The coating is cured in the booth, so most vehicles are ready the same or next day. Your center will confirm your pickup time.

Do I need to prep my car?+

No prep needed. Your Crash Champions center cleans and preps the surface before the install.

Warranty

How long is the warranty?+

LPPF® is backed by a 15-year warranty. 8-Year Ceramic is backed by an 8-year warranty. 5-Year Ceramic is backed by a 5-year warranty.

What does the warranty cover?+

LPPF® is covered for 15 years against yellowing, peeling or delamination, cracking and bubbling. Ceramic is covered for 5 or 8 years against loss of gloss, UV fading and coating failure. Collisions, improper care and pre-existing paint issues aren’t covered, but if you’re in a collision, Crash Champions can work with your insurance company to repair the affected areas. See what’s covered.

Are inspections required?+

No. There are no inspections required to keep your LPPF® or ceramic warranty.

Do I need to register my warranty?+

No. Your Crash Champions center registers your warranty for you after your install. Check your warranty anytime.

How do I make a warranty claim?+

Submit a claim online with your VIN and photos of the issue. Start a claim.

Care & repairs

What if LPPF® gets damaged?+

Light scratches heal on their own. Deeper damage won’t heal on its own and isn’t covered by the warranty, but LPPF® is 100% repairable.

When can I wash my car?+

Wait 2 weeks after your install before the first wash — for both LPPF® and ceramic. After that, a gentle hand wash about once a month keeps it looking its best.

How do I care for it?+

Hand wash with a pH-neutral soap and soft microfiber. See the full aftercare guide.
