PPF problems on the Headlights

Hey!
Has anyone else had problems with PPF on the headlights?
My workshop says that the PPF film refuses to stick to them?

I have mines done in PPF no issues at all - even with ceramic coating on it you still can apply PPF so I wonder why they didnt want to do it . Not that difficult ?

Had XPel on mine too. Perhaps he didn’t want to put them on since taking ppf off head lights can be an issue.
