How soon after PPF can you apply ceramic coatings?

[agreif]

Anyone know what the general recommendation on the time between finishing a PPF install to applying a ceramic coating? Not sure if the PPF needs to fully adhere and off gas (no clue if that's the right term or even applicable) any moisture and if the ceramic coating would lock that in?

Just looking for some experts to weigh in on this one.

Thanks,
Andrew

Can be applied pretty much as soon as the PPF is on and settled. I'd give it a day to so post PPF just to make sure any sections where a wet application was required have a chance to dry. But in a general sense, PPF can be waxed/sealed/coated - just make sure to use a product that is known to be PPF safe.

As an aside, if you want to apply PPF over fresh paint...bad idea. Aftermarket paint should be given at least 30 days (more doesn't hurt) to off-gas before applying PPF. Same goes for ceramic coat and many other toppers.
