The benefit of having a hydrophobic film is that it makes the vehicle easier to clean and mud or grime has a more difficult time bonding with the vehicle’s surface. Now with other films you can (and probably should) apply a Ceramic Coating on top of the film, and that will give the surface hydrophobic properties. But with the LLumar and SunTek films you already have that built into the film itself.
My OEM chrome badging was removed (by ppf dealer) before Xpel installation and re-installed (by me) on top of my film. Second P-car I've done and they last similarly. I made a template using blue painters tape and marked reference points, as well as took considerable pictures beforehand.
I think the reason to wrap the back of the car is after you have screwed up the rest of the car with film its annoying having one area left that shows just how much better paint alone always looks.
You Sir are an A$$, but you speaketh the truth. I had the template around the letters on a white car. It drove me nuts. I removed all the PPF from the entire rear of the car, and the doors.
At least half of my car now looks perfect. The PPF is must on the front, and the side hips, (That makes them one piece, and no ugly stone flector) But just the ceramic coat is way nicer. Time over again, I would just do the front.
I like the stripes. Where did you get them? Any chance of a front view?

My PORSCHE logo was manually applied and had a slightly crooked “R” too...
