Over the past 5ish years I've done some combination of ceramic, ppf (partial/full), satin PPF (full only), vinyl wrap, and sealants...

Here's where I sort of end up....
It's always a personal preference and unless you have a truly limited edition, really high cost/value car, none of the items above are going to add any value to the car or even keep the value higher than an equivalent naked car that had been reasonably cared for.

Now for personal reasons, if you keep your car for 3+ years or are very OCD about your car (regardless of how long you keep it), then go for any of those options that fit your wallet. Just know that NONE of those options are care-free and in some cases, like a vinyl wrap, if you don't care for it then it will fail early and if it fails and you leave it on the car, you're in for a major world of hurt.

I'm doing a full ppf on my G87...should be done this week. I'll just use sealants and regular washes to keep it clean and hydrophobic.
