    Question -> XPEL Ceramic Coating vs XPEL PPF

    Read much but unclear what are the pros and cons for PPF vs Ceramic Coating. Appears both protect the paint from rocks, salt, bugs, world destruction. Can someone with experience explain the difference and is one "better" than other. Thanks!!

    Raptor Assault 4/2/23

    Well, waffled back and forth whether to go. Lost opportunity with Gen2 mainly due to COVID. Booked today for April 2-3, 2023. Driving up from NM and staying in town (Toole) not the recommended hotel. Getting excited as taking extra time to head over to the salt flats and explore the area.

    Gave the beast a bath and discovered both rooftop antenna covers are loose as hell, can lift up over 1/2 inch and they just wobble. Assuming one has to go through the interior liner to fix?
