Default US owners, who does not have ANY PPF on their car?

I've read through the various threads regarding PPF and there are some instances where it seems to have saved the paint on some of your cars. I've also read post after post about how your cars got delivered and it seems standard that they all go to PPF jail immediately. I'm just wondering how many of you were willing to raw-dog it after your car was delivered?

I live in Florida so I don't deal with the bad weather in some parts, I think PPF totally ruins the way paint looks, but that's just me

IMO, depends on color. My JBM has full wrap. Swirls and chips drive me crazy on black cars. Light color cars at least partial ppf.

I raw dogged it for three months and 2500 miles in the worst weather this area has ever seen until my PPF appointment came in at the best shop in town. I got a noticeable rock chip on the bumper and made the PPF shop's job much harder during the paint correction. Completely worth it.

No PPF for me, never will do it. Swirls mean you have to change the way your car is washed. I don't have the first swirl on my 2021.

Firmly in the camp of properly installed partial PPF.

None here and don’t plan on it either.

Not to mention the way that it feels.

I went to check out a local PPF shop for my incoming car last week and there was a brand new GT3 RS getting full PPF done, the owner requested the shop to PPF the rims... probably one of the dumbest things I've ever seen.

GT Silver and no ppf for me. It’s one of the easiest colors to live with and not a daily driver. A big part of my ownership experience is detailing the car and I just prefer the feel and look of the true paintwork. If it were a daily and a darker color perhaps I would have gone for it.

It’s a car, not a priceless work of art.
I don’t need PPF.
Wash weekly, high quality wax every quarter, and a good polish job about once per year.
If you don’t want rock chips, perhaps consider trailering it to your destination?
