Nice touch!!

What is your washing and care plan going to be? That will play a big part in your decision and happiness of the appearance for years to come, PPF and coated or not. Light colors always seem to age the best.

That looks awesome! Does it handle or ride any differently?

Works very well on the interior as well. Yvan was not kidding about the versatility of this product!

This is where a product like MDR will chemically loosen and remove a water spot. They sit on top of a coating and do not go through to etch the paint.

Definitely do your homework. Read reviews and what a warranty covers and the terms. This is a sealant. There are more advanced Ceramic Coating options on the market. I suggest due diligence with these Ceramic products as well. Review all products exact warranty term to see if yearly...
