So I originally got the Feynlabs Basic ceramic self healing coating on the car except for the front end where I had STek PPF installed. This was my first dive into coatings and PPF so I was skeptical to spend more then a few grand. The STek PPF really worked great at preventing chips and scratches, it really sold me on its performance. Now the ceramic also was amazing even with the basic version, and scuffs or light scratches either would vanish in the heat or the day or during winter after a was or sand storm simply applying hot water would make them clean up. I owned that car for about 3-4 years, the day the M8 arrived I washed it myself for the last time and I was amazed that after this time the paint was in almost as good of shape as when I got it, with dark colors micro scratches are the worst but the car had almost zero of them. So after that the next three cars got either Full PPF or PPF and Ceramic.
The M8 received STek PPF on the front end and roof, and Feynlabs Ceramic Plus on the rest of the car.
The Merc E63s got Full STek PPF
The M5 got Full XPEL PPF
All the cars have had the top tier ceramic XPEL tint on all glass and that's worth every penny also.
The reason I changed to XPEL on the last car is the installer for the STEk his work just had some imperfections that would drive me crazy, it wasnt the product it was just how he installed it. I did find a very well known installer in Houston but didn't want the hassle to ship the car and then drive it back so I opted to try having Xpel do their PPF.. I am happy with it, looks great, slightly more orange peel in XPEL.. Other then that I like it.
