Introduction: Two Different Problems, One Perfect Pair

Route 30 sprays gravel all year; Saint Vincent College’s parking lots shower cars in bird bombs every weekend. Paint Protection Film (PPF) eats the gravel but can still stain. Ceramic coating laughs at stains but can’t absorb rocks.
Solution: apply KAVACA™ PPF on the high-impact panels and finish the entire exterior—including the film—with Ceramic Pro® 9H coating. One appointment at our climate-controlled bay in Josephine; one digital warranty for peace of mind in Greensburg for up to a lifetime.

The Synergy: How Twin Layers Work Together

1. Impact + Chemical Barrier

PPF’s 200 µm TPU core flexes to absorb 60 mph gravel from Route 30.
Ceramic Pro’s nano-silica lattice fends off acids, salt brine, and UV.

2. Uniform, Amplified Gloss

A final ceramic top-coat levels the micro-orange-peel of film so coated and un-filmed panels share a single mirror finish.

3. Self-Cleaning Boost

Ceramic Pro raises contact angle to ~115°. Dirt and coal dust slide off filmed sections as easily as bare paint—no mismatched cleaning behavior.

4. Dual Warranty Power

12-year PPF + lifetime coating warranties register to your VIN and appear on CARFAX®, elevating resale.

Local Road Reality: Why Greensburg Paint Suffers

• Loose chip-seal – Ongoing Route 30 widening fires gravel daily.
• Coal-truck spray – US-119 haulers sand-blast rocker panels.
• Winter cinders & brine – PennDOT plows etch bumpers and quarter panels.
• Jet-fuel fallout – Proximity to Arnold Palmer Regional Airport leaves corrosive residue.
• Construction dust – Seton Hill campus projects shower cars in concrete grit.

Only the PPF + coating combo guards against all these hazards at once.
