@futurem3owner You could probably do several ceramic wraps every 5 years before you would break even on the cost of a full wrap. But if money is no object, why not? Also, you can get a lifetime warranty with ceramic, at least with ceramic pro, if you stick with the annual inspection and the other terms.
Just to be clear, there is no such thing as a ceramic wrap. Ceramic protection is a coating like wax and is mostly a cosmetic paint protection from dirt and stains, but generally won't offer much, if any protection, from rock chips or scrapes.
You're in my neck of the woods. Who did you have do it, would you recommend them, and who are you planning to have doing the ceramic?have to agree with everyone. paid 1500 for the xpel ultimate wrap (full hood bumper fenders etc) on my week old S only spot you can see the wrap is on the tops of the side mirrors. I plan on ceramic coating the rest of the car in the next two weeks. the xpel wrap is totally worth every penny
I had clear guard for cars in Hoffman estates do it. they were recommended to me by tesla WestmontYou're in my neck of the woods. Who did you have do it, would you recommend them, and who are you planning to have doing the ceramic?

My wife and fellow pre-purchase researcher wife was telling me last night that she had watched a video somewhere that said that one shouldn't put a film on their car in the first 60-90 days after it has been painted, due to the paint continue to dry, give off gases of some sort.
Anyone heard that, or have similar thoughts? Our plan is to buy a custom built, so it likely will have been painted quite recently before delivery.
I was told that too but after NOT having it done right away on my S85D and already having several hood chips before PPF installation, I opted to have my S100D done the day I received it. 21,400 miles and 6 1/2 months later I am GLAD I DID. No signs of anything weird or out of the ordinary. If you are using it as a daily driver on the expressway I would err on the side of getting it done right away AND as always if it is in your budget get the entire car wrapped. You will be happy you did...
I only got front coverage ppf on my 2 week old MS75 D. Found today a rock chip.on the rear passenger door. Ordered some touch up.paint. very frustratingThe point of paint protection film is foremost to protect the paint. If a rock hits the film hard enough to puncture then that is not self repairable. If the damage is enough for you to notice and you want to correct it then yes the whole bumper needs to be re-wrapped.
Something had dropped onto my passenger rear door and put two vertical gouges in the paint protection film, but the paint underneath was still perfect. Re-doing that one door cost $400 at the place I go to, but it's being re-reimbursed to me by who caused the damage. Glad I had opted to wrap more than just the full front as it saved me trying to get it repainted and color matched.
The thickness of the film tends to disperse the impact so what would have damaged the paint will not always damage the film.
This video from the engineering explained series has some good info with examples of what kind of damage will self correct.
