It will be fine. If a leaf blower can lift an edge, the ppf isn't installed properly.

If you aren’t getting a PPF with a built-in hydrophobic top-coat you should also consider getting ceramic coating for your car. If you do, the water will roll off and your car should look amazing when using a leaf blower. 👍🏻

I use a blower on a ceramic coated/ppf vehicles...easy peasy, one less contact with the paint. No issue with ppf
