I decided to not do PPF at all on this car (other than leaving in-place the factory clear panels in front of the rear wheels). That decision has actually made the whole "drive it, love it, and not worry/obsess about each little nick" a lot easier. Definitely getting small chips, windshield strikes, and some rash along the rockers. But it is giving her character and I don't mind doing my own paint correction, etc. Had I done a limited color, different call probably, but White makes it an easier fix as well.

Same here. At the end of the day it's a used car. I don't want to stress over blemishes that will inevitably happen if I drive the car. Even with PPF, marks in non protected paint areas, glass, wheels, door dings (or god forbid a collision) etc will happen. And a big enough rock will damage PPF areas too. I'm only at 4k miles so far and have been lucky no noticeable chips or marks yet but know that something will happen sometime. Only way to avoid it is to not drive the car, and I won't do that!
No PPF or any coating. I don't think I pay as much attention to the paint. Do wash it regularly and have some rocks chips already. I am sure there will be more. 11K miles on 2018 T so far. I have 2012 Cayenne (6MT) with 109K miles and I hope to get the 911 to that 100K mark as well with tons of rock and bugs!

I'm with you bro, skipped both as well and actually even the car washing on my 50th for now. Just going to let her patina like back in the day
