Ceramic coat, wrap or both?

Just picked up my new 2022 1LE and was wondering what you guys did for paint protection for the track. Is ceramic coat enough or do you do clear bra/wrap also?

Thanks!

Ceramic coating will not protect you from rock chips... If you want reasonable protection, do a full frontal PPF...

This is what I did on my 2SS (I don't track it), 5,353 miles and no rock chips...

I did front bumper, headlights, fenders but no hood. Did it at 900 miles but won't drive again till February. Track day in March. Nothing to report yet. But those areas 2ss capt posted above seem ideal. But yes ceramic coating won't do a single thing for rocks.

Both

I did PPF on the front bumper, hood, A-pillars, mirrors, front fenders and in front of the rear wheels. I think ceramic coated the entire car. Does not hep with chips but does protect from rubber pieces leaving marks and the ones that do are easy to wash off.

I did PPF as shown in the first post (plus the wing, ZLE), and then ceramic coated the whole car incl the PPF.
