She's finally here!!! 6-8 weeks that turned into 4 months 😩

I'm considering a full PPF wrap and ceramic coating to keep her this beautiful.

Thoughts, feedback, experiences?

If you're going full ppf, just have them polish the paint before they apply the film. No reason to ceramic the ppf as rocks will ding up the film no matter if it's ceramic'd or not. Kind of a waste of money

Full PPF wrap is great.

Skip the $$$ ceramic though -- just a waste on top of PPF.

You'll still want to apply a sealant once or twice a year to the PPF though. It will still collect contaminants just like bare paint and the sealant will help reduce that.

Do one or the other. It makes no sense to me to do both. It all depends on what you want. If you don't plan on going off road much, get the ceramic coating. If you want pinstripe protection get the PPF.

Bear in mind that both are temporary and need to be reapplied after a while. You have to remove the PPF to reapply, you can put ceramic over old ceramic.

I go off road, but I got the ceramic coating. It was cheaper than PPF. IMHO it looks better than PPF and sheds dirt. The shop gave me a six year warranty.

I did have PPF put over my headlights. It helps keep them from turning yellow.

I just keep an eye out for branches.
