You took the effort to post two very lame jokes on separate posts about people who PPF their cars. Sounds like you need to find some friends? Probably not though with your know it all pretentious attitude.

Ha ha ha. Both my cars are completely wrapped. To me, it's one of the best things you can do to your vehicles. Costly, but so worth it. To each their own

What's the cost of repairing rock chips? I have to imagine it would take a lot of rock chips to add up to the cost of full ppf.

As I've read more about it and what my options are locally, I kind of feel ceramic alone is a better value. Something that simplifies cleaning the car has a more tangible benefit in my mind.

If your car is white, just know that no wrap will guarantee the color stays true, and if you have regular paint, the PPF film will literally eat all the brake dust in the front fenders. While you can prevent some of that with ceramic coating, it will always be a risk that your fender at some point will look darker than the door on white cars.

I had this on my F80 M3, and I felt like every other week I was using a PPF cleaner which needed a lot of elbow grease to make it back to new. Again, this is only a white car issue.

The car is Brooklyn Grey. After your comment regarding the brake dust sticking to the PPF, I might just save myself some $$ and do the front clip and hood only (no front fenders/quarter panels). I had no idea it behaved that way. I know you said Alpine White is the worst….but I guess BG can't be far behind.

BG is a bit darker and more blue. I'm getting my whole car done with BG.

I also didn't have ceramic on my film so don't know if that made a difference.

I wish I had a picture to show you. Will see if I can find one.

Moderator, if you find this offensive, ban me.

Yeah I got what was supposed to be a 10 point deduction for commenting thanks Byron on a post where everyone was complaining about the current state of things. Mod said it would be 10 points but took off 100…

First time i ever did PPF+Ceramic and I feel the investment is worth it considering how thin modern metallic paints are and the fact that I intend to track the car. Now I don't need to cover the front end in painters tape before going out on track. If you don't feel its value for you, don't do it. No need to be hating...

Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I do enjoy driving my car 11000 miles in a year, and 8- 12 track days a year. It definitely saves on bugs and debris damaging the paint, and I believe up-keep - wax and washing, is easier. I have 10mm on the car and it is amazing. But people that will put 1000 miles a year, driven peacefully might not get the full benefit of PPF.

Just curious of the available warranties for PPF? If there is a stone that damages the PPF is there any kind of warranty that will cover this damage? Or is the owner responsible for removing the film and having a new film applied? I've heard that the film has some self healing properties but inevitably it will become damaged is any of this damage covered? Just curious because I can't imagine that the film cost that much and I would assume most of the cost is in the labor of installing it.
