Hey NorCal friends, I’m looking for a reputable vendor for PPF and ceramic coat installation for my incoming Taycan GTS, preferably in the San Mateo area. Anyone have recommendations?

Also, is installing PPF on the windshield a good idea?

Thanks to chronic construction work and an insufferable amount of dump trucks, my BMW M340i consistently gets pummeled by tiny rock chips on the 101 freeway and now I have 6 nicks in my hood and bumper, plus a bunch of tiny windshield stars. Good times. I know PPF and a ceramic coat will not prevent this but at least it’s easier to restore when it does happen. At this rate, I feel like I’m never gonna drive the Taycan on a busy highway ?. Can anyone else empathize or am I just being nuts?

PM me - I have a guy - and people have gone back to him for other cars after having it done.

Windshield protection film is a very different material from PPF used on the car body. I have STEK DYNOflex on my windshield and it's taken a lot of rock hits over several thousand miles with no damage. There may be worthy competitor products out there but I went with the one my shop recommends. Film + install costs close to $1,000, but compare to the wait for a new windshield plus sensor alignments, and the annoyance of driving around with a growing windshield crack while waiting.

Hi from San Carlos

It's just something we have to deal with around here. My cars get hammered by small rocks. My incoming GTS will be a significant jump in daily driver price so I will be installing PPF and probably windshield protection. I'm not going to adjust my driving habits though.
