PPF or Coating and no tailgating?
Discussion
Apologies if this has been done to death already.
Whose gone PPF and who's done coatings?
Considering a detail and full self healing Feynlab coating.
Ive seen three V12V recently with what I hope we're cheaper PPF kits as they fitted 98% correctly - not great around the grilles / edges (better than cutting with a scalpel)
Full vents / lights out PPF even to the front and rear arches must be £2k??
PPF albeit self healing will be susceptible to damage in time.
Do the "Ceramic" coatings help - reduce swirls but not so much track day gravel rash (so will avoid track days). Seen a car 18 months post treatment and still looked great.
Anyone tried the newest self healing coating?
I'm thinking coating and bi annual retreatmets and even a bumper respray may look better and be less costly than the cheaper < £1500 PPF?
Not had any of my cars coated or PPFd to date and none have suffered badly - just ended up with honest patina not messy (lucky perhaps)
Look forward to some hands on experience / thoughts on the subject.
Suspect it comes down to a bit of luck?

Ceramic coatings like gtechniq are great, I have had that on 2 cars and it lasts for ages and really makes the car easy to clean, always looks great. However it does not protect against chips.
On a newish car I would have both if you want to keep the paint in best condition over many years.
