There's definitely a lot of misinformation out there that can make it out like it's far more than it is. It's not a perfect product but then again, the perfect product doesn't exist. Nothing can protect against rocks and scratches and grime without fail. But ceramic coating definitely provides...

@Daktari pretty much nailed it. PPF cannot be applied on top of ceramic coating because: PPF will not adhere to ceramic coated panels and can severely hamper performance and longevity. Ceramic coating serves no purpose if it is covered by a layer of film. Think wallpaper on Mona Lisa's face...

I know it's your new Bronco and I hate that it was scratched but if you managed that much correction with compound, I would hit it one more time, hard, with cutting compound, then polish the whole area out. That'll probably get it 90% and to a point where you won't notice it without trying to...

I don't think we got a before picture unfortunately. However, if you look at the right half of the second image, you can see the original, uncovered grill, and the left half has XPEL Stealth applied. You'll notice there was next to zero change in the colour and sheen.

You might be able to get away with that, unfortunately white scratches like that are often deeper than you think. Provided it isn't transfer. However if you try a decent compound, then a finishing polish it should at least even it out a little. Hopefully to where you don't notice it as much...

Yes sir, it absolutely is. Very nice colour.

That is a great colour! Is that the Anti-matter blue? I've been waiting to see one of those in person. Looks great so far. The Badlands Bronco we have in the shop right now is getting full body PPF including the grill. But it has that satin finish grey grill? So we opted to used XPEL Stealth...

If you're getting quotes for a full respray at that price then that's a no brainer. If its quality work they do then certainly, that makes it a valid option. We don't see good paint work being performed at that price here. If you're not looking to preserve the resale value of a vehicle then...

100% yes. The two products do two different things. Customer dissatisfaction occurs when they've been misled or fed misinformation. It depends on what you are looking for. Ceramic coating provides unmatched hydrophobics, chemical and grime resistance. PPF provides unmatched impact resistance...

Yeah, getting up top sure is a bit of a trick. We use those collapsible platforms. They are very useful for getting roofs...

Excellent! CSL is a fantastic product too, we thoroughly enjoy installing it and it continues to perform really well for all of our customers. Are you having PPF installed as well or just coating?

Gtechniq I1 Smart Fabric. Have this properly installed on your soft top, either by a local detailer or you can do it yourself if you're not a silly goose, sop that soft top in this and your Bronco will be beading like a freshly waxed duck that just fell in a tub of molten butter on a hot summers...

Try getting a plastic safe all purpose cleaner. Gtechniq W5 is pretty intense and cleans very well. Spray it on the fender and take a stiff bristle brush and give it a good scrubby scrub. If it doesn't come all the way out, just repeat a couple of times, working in small sections. Wash, rinse...

Good wash maintenance, regular washing. Not letting it go for weeks in between washes, especially if it is dirty from trail use. Here in GA, we have pretty intense red/orange clay that turns to cement if it isn't washed off soon after, it also stains unprotected plastics and porous surfaces. Bug...

Yeah, it's definitely better than nothing but it is unfortunate that they don't offer more. Manufacturers almost never install more than partial coverage if they offer PPF. Partials are fine for those who don't care too much but they require a bit more careful maintenance. Visible edges can...
