Car drives the same with or without PPF, with or without wax/ceramic coating.

Ceramic as a longer-lasting wax coating - worth it. Fair disclosure - both wax and ceramic coatings are way too thin (~1 mil) to provide any real impact protection. But they do provide an appreciable appearance improvement and mak future car washes easier. To my eyes.

PPF - no worth it on a <$250K car. Then again, I don't mind an ocassional ding or a paint chip, and have used touch-up paint in the past without drama. Way cheaper than PPF.

People selling PPF will disagree, as do some of those who paid for it.
