I have a slightly different variant of this question...
Most of the well-recommended shops in the Bay Area that do professional paint correction, detailing, and a full custom wrap are booked well into next year.
Does anyone have a recommendation for a shop that can do a quick front-wrap on a 911 for basic stone chip protection?
Even pre-cut, half-bra coverage for the nose would be fine. Cosmetics aren't a big deal as long as they don't damage the paint with a knife while putting it on... Then replace in a few months.
I know I could use TracWrap or buy a pre-cut kit. But if there's an installer that can do the same on a relatively quick turnaround that would be good to know.

Def +1 for Myko Designs. They did my Aston Martin Vantage S 2 years ago and did an outstanding job. They also seem to do 991s non-stop on their Instagram feed, so they are very familiar with all the geometry involved on the car.

I am also looking to get my car PPF'd at the end of the year. Planning on full front PPF and coating the rest. The two shops that I am considering use Clear guard nano and Xpel ultimate, which are used by Premier and Elite respectively. They also use different paint protection products for the non PPF sections, Modesta B04 Titanium (or nanolex) vs Ceramic Pro (1-4 layers). Overall the pricing is not a whole lot different, 20% more for Premier when I sum up everything (select similar tier products). Also is no surpise that both of these highly regarded shops are booked out for the next couple of months, so it looks like I need to get my slot soon so I can take my car straight for PPF from the dealer.
My car is (2019 GTS) Carrera white metallic, so its not going to have the same issues as a dark color but its also going to lack the deep luster. I have no experience of PPF but I do have experience in thin film transparent coatings. So what I wonder is if both these films will provide the similar transparency? will one provide more or less sheen than the other? Essentially which one better represents the true color (no tinting) and has less haze (smoother surface), more luster. Same question for the liquid coatings. I would appreciate any feed back from those in the know as a quick search did not yield any quantitative numbers comparing these products. Some state that there product is the clearest... but it would be nice to have this backed up with data.
Both shops come highly recommended, so I am thinking that this is more a question of the products. I don't expect an issue with the quality of the work, but please advise if I am wrong.
Thanks
