Fair enough. I do have the time to correctly look after my vehicles. PPF doesn't last for very long from what I've seen on a neighbours car. Three years and it was fogging and peeling in places. 3M stuff allegedly fitted by professionals.kmacuk wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 5:16 pmPPF is partial and ceramic is to make maintenance easier and reduce swirls (self heal Fenylab for me too) and having spent all that time and effort prepping the car for the PPF it's logical and cost effective to do at the same time.Cheshire Cat wrote: ↑Wed Feb 26, 2020 5:02 pmPPF AND Ceramic coating! Why?
As mentioned previously, preparation is key. Personally, if you maintain the paint correctly, you should be ok. Stone chips happen but if you are talking of factory fresh cars I can understand the urge to use PPF or Ceramic. How much is a respray these days compared to a full PPF?
I snow foam and hand wash, but to never add swirls during this process over months and years is not possible for me so I, like many go both. If you have the skills to never mark your paintwork then indeed both would seem superfluous.

As I am sure you know the prep is everything and if its too cheap this is where the corners have been cut. we have had PPF on our last 4 cars, longest kept for 4.5years and it looked the same as day 1. The 10 year warranty we were given looked like it would not have to be claimed on.Cheshire Cat wrote: ↑Fri Feb 28, 2020 12:32 pmFair enough. I do have the time to correctly look after my vehicles.
