I use a windshield film (similar to PPF) on my windshield on my garaged "fun" car, but that film needs to be replaced every other year on a car driven just 5K miles a year - so it would probably require a nearly-annual replacement for a daily driver seeing 10-12K miles a year. Still, it's nice when they peel off the film to replace it - only the biggest stones have pierced the windshield film enough to leave any windshield pitting behind. I've used ClearPlex and ExoShield windshield films so far, and will probably try the new Xpel film next.
Too late for me I suppose . Already have some pits - not a distraction but wanted to see if ceramic will help since I have some Adams Graphene left over and I did not apply to my front windshield.

Edit - thanks for the info on the films. Just looked at Clearplex website and it states that it blocks 99% UV rays. Wondering if it will be good for on top of sunroof to block heat?
