What is the difference between ORIDON Ceramic Paint Protection & PPF?
ORIDON Ceramic Paint Protection with Graphene is applied to the entire body of the vehicle. The ceramic formula chemically bonds to the paintwork and creates a durable long-lasting protective barrier against oxidisation and damage caused by a wide range of environmental contaminates (such as bird & bat droppings & tree sap). The Hydrophobic properties also create an easy-clean surface which significantly reduces maintenance time and cost.
PPF (Paint Protection Film) is a high-quality thermoplastic urethane film that can be installed over areas subject to potential minor damage. This includes door handle cups, door edges and boot edge. It can also be applied to the bonnet edge to help protect against stone chips.
Where will I need to take my vehicle?
You will be provided with the details of the closest ORIDON accredited application centre to the postcode you provided. Once your appointment is confirmed, you will receive a confirmation email which will provide the address of your allocated application centre, as well as a contact name & number for the application centre, should you need it.
Do I need to prepare/clean or wash my vehicle before my appointment?
Yes. For interior and exterior applications we require your vehicle to be freshly washed and cleaned, and any imperfections on the vehicle such as stubborn marks or scratches would need to be rectified prior to the appointment. Do not use waxes, silicons & polishes.
Please also ensure personal belongings are removed from the vehicle.
If your vehicle is not in adequate condition upon drop off, you may incur a cleaning fee on the day or have your appointment cancelled and rescheduled for another time. Currently the cancellation fee is $95 and the cleaning fee is $150.
Please contact our concierge team to discuss any concerns regarding your vehicles conditions prior to your appointment.
What should I expect following the application of Ceramic Paint Protection - will there be any difference in the appearance of my paintwork?
Essentially, ceramic coatings will enhance the colour and shine of your paintwork. Visually, results will vary and this is dependent on the colour and type of paint. The coating takes around 3 days to fully cure. Once curing is completed, the coating will achieve maximum gloss and protection.
Is my DIY PPF kit easy to apply?
Yes! The DIY PPF kit comes with step by step instructions & you will be provided with all the tools necessary to complete the application at home.
