Ceramic Coating on PPF with Existing Scratches
A coating application does not automatically repair scratches in the film. Existing defects should be evaluated under the film manufacturer's guidance.
Updated · NANOLAB Knowledge
Practical approach
Record the marks before treatment and ask the film installer which correction, if any, is appropriate.
A customer expecting a new coating to erase visible film damage needs that expectation resolved before the service begins.
Decision limits
Do not add heat, abrasives or solvents based on generic self-healing claims. Follow the exact film instructions.
