Definitely considering a nice ceramic coat. I somewhat regretted not getting it done when we picked up my wife's new Audi S5 Sportback a few years ago. Though, admittedly, that one is in Mythos Black (which is notoriously high maintenance), and had been in the dealer lot a couple months already (which now makes me try to go the custom order route going forward).

I'm a bit less convinced about PPF as I'm not a fan of partial applications and I find it hard to justify the cost of a full application (which I'm estimating at $5-6K for this car at a reputable shop here in the Bay Area). I can just get touchups as needed for the foreseeable future instead; anything that a PPF would reasonably protect against can be touched up.

Any recommendations on which ceramic compounds work well with the PBM paint are more than welcome!
