Default Double up on PPF

For you guys that have had a GT4 RS for a while, where would you recommend doubling up the PPF? I'm sure behind the front and rear wheels ,but is there anywhere else that takes a beating?

I wouldn’t double up. Just go with the Xpel 10mil, or similar, on high impact areas.

Most definitely. Most of my miles are in the mountains, following other GT cars resulting in constant sand blasting.

I'm now a firm believer w/ 10 mil PPF full car and double up in high impact areas.
Annually, I try to revisit my PPF shop for any touch up/inspection....which makes easy work to peal up a double layer and apply new.

I doubled up with STEK ceramic infused. Behind fronts and in front and behind in rear. I have seen rash show up with single PPF. I don't think 10 mil was available from STEK. So I doubled. I would either 10 mil or double standard thickness of your choice of PPF.

I'm surprised they can peel a top layer of PPF off a base layer. I may look to do this as well in front of rear wheel wells.
