PPF Or Nanotechnology treatment?

[Buzzi77]

Good morning everyone. Tomorrow morning my Aston Martin vantage v8 manual arrived

Here is a photo of her traveling from Spain to Italy

I am convinced that as soon as it arrives it will have to be treated with nanotechnology
.
However, a friend of mine who owns a Ferrari did a PPF treatment. The cost of ppf seems to be higher.
He says PPF is better because it resists scratches on stones, but I'm not convinced yet
I saw his car and the film under the reflection of the light you can see
The reflection is not as deep as in nanotechnology.
I will do nanotechnology but I ask you if anyone has experience?
Thank you

How many stone chips on the front end or road rash on the sills/rear quarter panel does the car have? If the answer is it does have some then don't bother with PPF, just get it detailed and ceramic coated to make it look sharp and make washing super easy.

If the front end is stone chip free I'd possibly consider getting the front bumper and leading edge of the bonnet PPF'd.
If the sills and leading edge of the rear quarter panels are blemish free again I'd get these PPF'd.

Also it depends on youe usage of the car...

Cheers,

I’m a big fan of ppf, it gives peace of mind overtaking, on country roads etc. As above it really does depend on the standard of the paintwork though. This is my 08

So much depends on the quality of any PPF installation.

I have partial PPF in front of the rear wheel arches and think the edges of the film look too obvious.

That’s looking great for 16 years old!

It has two small markings on the bonnet, the rest is perfect. It was repainted in the same colour. It only has 36039 Miles
I use it only in the city at home and office, not long trips, maximum once or twice a month 37 Miles.
As you say nanotechnology is better, on the hood I will put ppf
I don't like the matte color. It must be protected from atmospheric agents and resin or bird poop

paint is lovely on the bonnet. I never like those ppl lines though, like here around the badge.

I was actually given the choice whether to have an outline or remove the badge and have no cut out…which carries some risk to the paint below, so I chose the outline which isn’t noticeable at all to me, the pic had to be from a certain angle to show it

Congratulations on your lovely purchase.
If you only have a few stone chips these can be repaired prior to ppf being added. My recommendation is get ppf on bonnet, front, headlights, roof, wheel arches where stones can flick up and lastly the rear duck tail as stones travel over the car and find a way of hitting the leading edge of the spoiler.
I have always had my cars PPF'D it has saved my car from many chips and atmospheric damage.
PPF is now hydrophobic and to a certain extent self healing. It also has UV protective qualities.

i go with the complete PPF & CC from XPel for my new 2025 again.

As i bought our used 2020 and when my XPel specialist and friend showed the Vantage from below, there were already signs of wear on the pianoblack coated side skirts and the rear diffuser that looked like sand blasted during drive usage. (18 000km only)

Also is the self healing effect a big improvement for minimal rock chips.
