We had an issue with the wagon recently where a dump truck carrying peas gravel didn't have it's tailgate properly latched on the PA Turnpike. We needed a new windshield and a number of paint chips repaired on the bumper, hood, front quarter panels and roof. As soon as it got our of the body shop I took it to Oakes for a front end ppf. They did a really awesome job. I can't see the film unless i try extremely hard. They also prepped the paint perfectly. When I pulled into their shop, I was very disappointed by the swirls left by the body shop, especially under the detailing lights. When I picked the car up they were all gone. I think in the spring we will have them prep the Porsche and have the front end of that ppfed too.

I talked to the owner about maintenance and it's not a big deal. You can pressure wash, but keep the wand 2ft away, usual hand washing techniques, etc.
There are pros and cons to everything, but the only con to me of xpel is it cost $2500 to have the front end done.
