You don't need full paint correction or ceramic coating on a new car. They will sell you on the fact that nothing is perfect from the factory, and they are right, but PPF covers so many issues, it's like magic. Also, a lot of the PPF out there these days is hydrophobic.

If you're not keeping the car and didn't have an issue with your previous cars, I'd say skip it. For me, I'd sell the car when I was done with it and make money on the back end, so having the front/rockers/flares perfect would be beneficial to me. PFF is like tires; usage is everything.
