Xpel PPF with TracWrap?
Hey Xpel,
Can we mix your PPF with TracWrap? I'm wondering whether I can overlap the temporary solution with your permanent one. Might even double up on thickness with key vulnerable spots if so.

Yes! Thats absolutely fine, plenty of our customers that have ULTIMATE installed still put TRACWRAP on top of it. Mainly this is done at the racetrack for added protection, since you'll have nearly 16 mils thick protection on the front end.
Since TRACWRAP has an air-release liner its simple to apply and easy to remove without leaving adhesive behind

Well, I can't vouch for TracWrap, but in my case I had 3M color-change vinyl wrap installed on top of Xpel front-end PPF. Nearly two years, and when I removed the vinyl wrap I found that there was absolutely ZERO issue with the Xpel underneath! No pulls or anything else. Looked just like the day it was installed. I chose to wrap over the PPF as an additional protective barrier.... So I would say that you shouldn't have any problems at all with applying some temp wrap over it. Maybe should say that this is my own experience, and I installed both... can't vouch for how well others have done or whether there might be issues dealing with PPF that wasn't installed properly, yadayadayada.....
Oh, and just for kicks -- I also PlastiDip'd over Xpel PPF on my side mirrors, and the dip peeled-off without any discoloration or other effects to the PPF after about the same time as the front-end wrap! It was amazing....

If anything, you can double layer TracWrap in certain spots. Overall, one layer should do its job.
Make sure you choose your final PPF installer wisely. More bad hacks out there than good ones.
Seeing you're in Philly, I'd send your car here:

Might be some other good options in the geographic area too.

If you install TracWrap FIRST, putting Xpel on top of that won't go over well if I'm understanding your question correctly.

Going to be doing 2.5 weeks in Europe with my new wife and newborn 3-month old son. Should be quite the adventure.
