I’d like PPF on my new (secondhand) car, likely front end, sills, mirrors and rear arches, in the South East.

I’ve got one quote from a firm that comes well-recommended, but wouldn’t mind checking someone else for comparison; is anyone able to give a recommendation?

What car is it? Some brands do their own reasonably priced PPF kits for the high impact areas which are DIYable. BMW do them for instance.

Nah, you'll be fine with those, PPF can get them frothing, by all accounts!

I’ve just bought a lightly used car that’s been fully wrapped in Xpel film, I’ve googled how to take care of it and all I can find is the usual bks about using Xpel cleaning products. I suspect a good quality shampoo will be fine, but do people add wax or some other protection?
