Yes, I have the whole car wrapped in it and ceramic coating over that.
It was done at Elite Car Care in Bourne End Bucks and I can unreservedly recommend them!
Their attention to detail and the care they took over the car is obvious.
Martin, I had my whole car done here in Canada with Xpel, and they couldn’t get it right at the rear corners of the car, the curves were too extreme and there was some wrinkling of the film etc.It was done at Elite Car Care in Bourne End Bucks and I can unreservedly recommend them!

Did your installation go better than this?
In general, I’m of the opinion that any valuable car should have 100% PPF, especially one as low and susceptible to chipping as the Cerbera.
One of the best features is the self-healing that many of these films have now. It means you need to have your paint corrected (free of swirls etc), just once before installation of the film. Thereafter, any light scratches will disappear with hot water or half an hour in the sun.

Thanks for the information it looks like the only decision you have to make is the cost compared to a respray,also is the latest protection self healing ,people have saiwill just get a front end spray if I get stone chips the problem there is 2things my paint is pearlescent and it’s hard to match
John, when my car was painted I had 'Paintshield' protection film applied to the front of my car.
It covered the front 1/3rd of the bonnet and the whole front of the car around the grille area and the front wings.
It was also applied to the body on the front of the rear arches on the rear wings just behind the doors.
This was done by Central TVR who had the templates done for the Cerbera.
For me it worked well, 5 years after application there were only a couple of areas where stones had penetrated the coating.
It also seems that ceramic coating/polishing is the way to go putting a smooth /hard coating on the paint, I'm having the Jag detailed and ceramic coated in a couple of weeks, I will let you know how it goes
