- 2022 "Mach-E Auto" GTPE, Cyber Orange
I never heard of PPF or ceramic coating until I started to research and make my choice of a MME GTPE. I keep my cars over a decade if not closer to two decades. My current car was always had washed by me and professionally waxed. However, the paint on the front end got chipped and it does not hold the luster longer than a few months. I wanted to have my new car look better as it aged. I did the research and elected for a partial PPF and ceramic coating. Both having a 10 year warranty. In my opinion, it is worth the cost since I will not have to spend $500 to $1000 a year for detailing. Also, at the cost of the car, the investment to keep it looking good is money well spent.
I think there will always be people think this is a waste of money, others that love it and everyone in between. Do your research and you need to decide based on your priorities. If you decide to move forward, ask around get a input on a good professional installer. Check their online reviews, ask the forum, talk with the installer, and most importantly get a comfortable feeling that they will do a quality job. If you gut tells you something is wrong, it probably is and walk away. If you do get recommendations from the forum, ensure that the work is a few months to a year old so you know that it was done right. A bad install will not last and over time, it will show the defects. All the above is what I did and I got a great installer. I did walk away from one installer since I did not feel they were going to do it right and I am glad I did.
