PPF for me. I don't have the time I once did to get out the pressure washer, foam cannons and spend a long time detailing my car. I like with PPF I can just take it to a car wash and not worry about it. I can go get a car wash club for $20/mo of unlimited premium washes and keep it cleaning without worrying about the swirl marks in the paint.
On the Y, the front took some big hits that didn't even phase the PPF. My wife also likes to tailgate cars/trucks more than I'd like. So definitely a greater risk of hits/chips. Looking at her car, the bumper was repainted from someone backing into less than a year ago. Already it is pockmarked substantially with the white primer showing through like a teenager with acne. It had PPF for 6 years and had to be removed to repaint and never put it back on. If the car was newer I would have really regretted not going with PPF again.
