PPF and window tint are totally different products. Here's what each one does and why most premium-car owners get both.
These two products get confused all the time. They do completely different things.
Goes on glass. Blocks UV, IR (heat), and visible light. Adds privacy. Lifetime warranty on premium ceramic.
Goes on paint. Self-healing clear urethane film that absorbs rock chips, sand, bug acid, and minor scratches. Common areas: front bumper, hood, fenders, mirrors.
A chemical sealant on paint — adds gloss and beads water but does NOT stop rock chips. It's a complement to PPF, not a replacement.
Coastal Tint focuses on window tint — automotive film, ceramic windshield, windshield strips. We can refer you to a trusted PPF specialist.
New car owners who want long-term protection usually get PPF on impact zones + ceramic tint on all glass.
