I’m intending to have the front of my car from the windscreen forward and the mirrors covered with paint protection film (PPF).
I’m familiar with most of the pros of doing this. What are the cons? I would particularly like to hear from those of you who’ve had PPF installed — both good and bad experiences. Can any of you recommend an installer in Melbourne? (I have one in mind although I haven’t committed to them yet.)

Thanks Bolt60 , bought some Vuplex and it's a great product. Used it on the headlights of my other 2 cars and it works brilliantly, i will get around to using it on my PPF eventually.

A con would be that if u have an accident you would have to replace it.
