SSG has been good, just have a ceramic coating on it, and holding up well after nearly 30k kms.

Not good - if I did it again, I’d PPF the entire sides of the car. I hand wash carefully, so there’s no problems derived from that. It’s a soft and very reflective paint, so any issues get magnified. Where I have PPF - entire front, lower side doors, rockers, partial rear impact panels, lower rear fenders - flawless. Where I don’t, I have some issues that I’ll have to deal with.

Alright, thanks for the insight. I guess full ppf is a must with TB.

Just full sides and front (incl hood and a pillars). The roof and trunklid and back is overkill. Ceramic is a must too, of course.

After her first wash. Still need to have all of the carbon installed and PPF finished and ceramic coated.
