As part of my "best and final" offer, I want to specify exactly what I want for a PPF and ceramic treatment. What do I want? I think I want a full front PPF with graphene ceramic everywhere else, but how do I specify that so there is no confusion? I am going to pay for the car and after it's done fly out to where the car is and drive it home (from Denver to Portland). That's why I want the PPF before I drive a new car home.
Thank you in advance for any help you can offer. I'm out of my league on these coatings, never having done either before. But I like the idea. And whose PPF should I specify?

$3500 sounds low for full front (name brand) PPF and ceramic coating so I would be highly suspicious of what this dealer is offering to you.
IMHO, the majority of us would not let the dealer handle the PPF and ceramic coating and would take their car to a shop that specializes in doing this type of work. Because you are doing an out of town purchase with a long drive back home from Denver to Portland you are in a Catch 22 situation.
Perhaps you can have the dealer deliver the car to a local shop that has good reviews for the PPF and ceramic before you arrive?
