5. » Hard water spots from mineral deposits
6. » Resist Oxidation (fading) from UV exposure

The disadvantages of Paint Protection Films

1. » Slightly minimizes shine.
2. » Is not very hydrophobic, so little water beading and sheeting.
3. » It’s color will change over time and turn a yellowish hue.
4. » Minor damage cannot be repaired, so the film over that part will need to be removed and replaced with high maintenance cost.
5. » Will need to be replaced eventually.
6. » Can damage paint underneath if removed for bad quality materials
7. » Difficult to install properly.
8. » Initial cost is more expensive compared to Nano Ceramic Coating.

On the other side Nano Ceramic Coating (Ceramic Pro) and Paint Protection films can share some benefits such as: Stop chemical stains, stops chemical etch marks- keeps car looking  newer for longer- prevents oxidation- invisible finish .
