I had mine done there too. God guys and fun to watch. Lots of great cars there too.

You guys are on point.. I took my turbo out just one day in the snow to test it out, came home washed it off, to find sand pits and chips everywhere, i then parked it for like 2 months until now

But detailing dynamics will also be doing my clear bra and detailing, they're work is amazing.

I always liked the idea of PPF, but only if you plan on keeping the car long term and it's all about how you look at car ownership. If I was to invest in a car like this, I'd 100% want to keep it until the end of it's 'natural life'. That could be 20 years and for some people that's simply too much. However, you would be able to enjoy that paint for years to come. If you sold it, however, as posters have stated above, you're just preserving that lovely paint job for some future owner.

I do the PPF on my cars because it keeps them looking nice (w/o chips) during my ownership. As an additional benefit, the cars always look very nice when I sell them. I have had my 997.2 C4S for almost 7 years and just listed it for sale. It looks new. I have seen what the fronts of these cars look like after 7 years w/o PPF and it is not pretty.
