Ceramic Pro made it much easier to clean the rest of the car and just gave it a "pop" that was noticed by people quote often.
My buddy just had his C7 fully wrapped in STEK film and it looks amazing. Being able to do a waterless wash or even take it through a touchless tunnel wash with zero concern is tempting. I had to wait over a month last year for the exact soap I was supposed to use on Ceramic Pro on my M2 last summer and it kind of drove me nuts. Film is much more forgiving. Seeing his car in person makes the decision harder.
For the incoming G80 the cost delta is significant; full PPF is quoting in around 5-6K, vs the 2500 I paid on the partial. I also was super anal about parking the M2 car away from other cars in lots so I've dodged door dings and bumper rubs but I will not have that luxury with the G80 (dad mobile).
The other consideration is a full PPF is going to take my installer around a week, which means I'll lose a week of break in time/summer driving.
This is a lot of words to say I'm undecided, but who knows I could completely change my mind come late June when it finally arrives and I decide that spending 5-6K is worth protecting something I just dropped 80K on...

Do the whole car!! Like your buddy did. Your paint will always be perfect. Super easy to wash and dry. Both my cars are fully done and if you can swing the cash, it's a must do.
