What about swirls....if I have only part of the car with ppf, won't the ppf areas not have any swirls but the non-ppf areas develop swirls? I'm telling you, I'm crazy with my ocd.
But I get the fact that a full ppf for the car is crazy $$$$
And I get the fact that these "lines" on the edges is better than rock chips all over.

Swirls only develop due to user error when washing/drying. PPF will eliminate this issue, yes. Proper wash/dry technique can prevent swirls on stock car, no protection/coatings. Drying is biggest culprit with swirl. Lubrication is key
Dealerships by me are terrible with prep and 1st wash. Either a touch car wash is used and dirty chamois to dry. Or hand wash rags and similar dry technique. Don't let them wash you car upon arrival
IMO, get the impact areas done with PPF then get ceramic coating on car, windows, wheels, and calipers. Pressure wash to maintain when it's dusty and leaf blow dry. Only contact is when it's really dirty. But you still pressure wash to the point of being clean and then wash with rinseless wash product, no pressure on mit or sponge, use coating reload as lubricant to dry.
Replace brake pads with ceramic pads for street use too.
