agreed, do not do this....you will end up with a pc/then a gg6, the something from rupes. Add $500 in polishes and you will be complete. I have duragloss enviroshield on mine and it won't stop chips either. PPF will, but man is it expensive.Don't do it. Once you go down this rabbit hole you're not coming back
Yes you probably can but then you get another round of chips and back to the paint shop. Cover it and be done.
I installed a DIY 3m pro kit and it came out reasonably well. The bumper is definitely the hardest part, and I did not have the best place to do it.
Vacuum and Nexzett Cockpit Premium for the interior. Don't see a reason to get more complicated than that.
I felt the same way. Ended up getting a partial nose done, the applying CQuartz to the rest of the car myself. I feel like I got the best of the protection/cost equation.Been trying to figure this out as well.
But you cannot really do a "protective film vs ceramic coat" the fact people suggest you could also do both means they protect your car in two completely different ways.
Protective film is for preventing damage indentical to how your phone screen protector works albeit much more advanced.
Ceramic coating is for putting a very nice looking glass coating ontop of the paint meaning it won't really react to anything chemically and since it has nearly zero imperfections on the surface makes it very easy to keep clean.
Ill have to do some research but on any nice car it sounds like a ceramic coating will always be worth it and price wise it's not that bad if you factor in the price of the car.
Looking at a protective film only front coverage seems logical to me, anything more seems overkill looking at the price. Small damage from every day use should be pretty cheap to fix compared to covering the whole car with film.
Diffcult to decide something like this
