I was being serious. I’m not offended. I am extremely aesthetically oriented, but this level is above my pay grade. Again, I mean it, power to you!
I obviously prefer to avoid it being damaged, but I also want to have it to slip into “don’t worry” mode as quickly as possible.
If you baby it too much you don’t own it, it owns you.
P.S. Yes, this is by a large margin my first serious car. Most dumb normal people have never heard of paint correction either, fyi.

Each to their own re PPF.
I know people that happily live in dirty messy houses and it doesn’t bother them. I also know people that drive filthy paint chipped cars and it doesn’t bother them. Each to their own.
I want my kitchen to look like it did 5 years ago when new. I don’t want chipped wall and floor tiles and patchy paint in my kitchen.
If my car doesn’t look like it did a few years back when new it bugs me.
Its not that I want to mollycoddle it and drive like an old woman (man), on the contrary having PPF means I’m more confident taking it on poor road surfaces without wondering what could happen to it.
If your spending well over 100k incl 4-6k on leather, another 4k on paint etc etc then surely another 4K is worthwhile??

I highly recommend PPF, especially the hood and the hips. If you look in the first pic, you can see all the nicks in the PPF, and the scratches in the paint where the PPF is not. This is a 2020 with 14k miles. Some may complain that the line of the film is more unsightly than scratches would be, but as seen in the second pic, you really can’t see the PPF line from any distance other than close up.

Yep you’ve (literally) illustrated the point beautifully.
If that doesn’t convince the PPF naysayers nothing will.

BTW, I'm not trying to convince you of PPF. Do as you will. I too didn't have PPF on my cars until recently and now I'm a convert. I hate swirl marks on black cars and I hate feeling the need to be careful when I'm driving them even more. PPF helps me be worry free. I don't know how you drive or care for your cars. There was a very brief time in my history with cars when I was into babying pedigreed garage queens and I'm not going back. I like to drive them hard and tight and keep them looking good without fuss. PPF is the perfect solution for me.

I don't mean to question the money and time spent on paint correction and protective films, but I've never done this and have always enjoyed my cars anyway. In fact, the only paint "issues" I've had were on the two cars I bought used with protective films and the film started peeling at the edges. I mean this with all sincerity, but what's motivating folks to do this? It seems like everyone with a new T is doing it. I was just going to pick mine up and drive it. Am I missing something?
