Paint Protection Film (PPF): An Investment In Your Car's Future
Paint protection film is a thin layer of flexible material placed over a vehicle's body panels to protect them from flying rocks or road debris. This type of protective film can even save your car's paint from light hail damage or low-speed scrapes that would normally scratch and scar the finish.

True, but thermodynamics and Florida sun...
ON ANOTHER NOTE,
I've decided to go with PPF on the car. I will not drop 8500k on it. I'd rather paint it in 4 years if need be. Does anybody have a good shop in Central Florida that costs less than an entire paint job?

IMO PPF is the biggest scam in the auto industry going today. Spending thousands of dollars for a thin layer of film that will
at best protect from small, light stone chips and other debris is not a sound investment. YMMV.

I won't go that far, but that's just my opinion.
So...latest monkey tales:
Booked a rental car from 10/11-11/1 as we will be down to 1 vehicle on 10/8. Wondering what my odds are of getting the Plaid before 11/1. Part of me wants to push out for 2022 VIN/new lights. Part of me says, "idiot, get it now".
- For Plaid: EDD 10/7-10/27. For me to replace '17 S75. Gone last Saturday.
- For MY P: EDD 10/31-11/20. For wife to replace '17 X75D. Will be gone 10/8. New buyer was kind enough to let us hold it for 2 extra weeks.

Yeah I'd be all about PPF if it was ~$2k to do the whole car, but considering it's +3x that, I just can't justify it. I've had all my past cars (including Teslas) not need it, so it's tough to reason with parting with that much cash.
Of course, I also got a big chip on my hood the day after I took delivery, so I see the draw lol.

Then most likely, you'd have had (at minimum) damaged PPF (which may, or may not have prevented chip in your paint as well) which cant be touched up. You would have the option of living with the nicked/damaged PPF (unless it self healed, which doesnt occur with deep chips in the PPF) and looking at that, or gettin g the entire sheet of PPF removed, paint chip fixed, PPF replaced.
Or since you currently dont have PPF, you have the option of getting the nick in the paint professionally touched up (edges of the chip sanded down evenly and paint carefully dabbed on in several small layers to the side of the chip, then smoothed over into the chipped area.
You can imagine the costs of the options I laid out....

My recent quotes in Tennessee are $6k, $7k, $7k, $9k. I got a quote for $5k in Georgia so you know where Im going
Would never get ppf. I’m too cheap for ceramic coating too (though almost considering it) lol.
Shouldn't be anywhere close to that price. Maybe $8500 for a wrap and PPF.
Why is this the minimum? PPF could have also absorbed the rock and not have been damaged at all.

What about the 5-year Xpel? Do you really need the 10-year warranty on that?
