Why do you even need line #1 if you’re getting line #12
PPF is impact protection. Ceramic is just a detail product. Two different things.

PPF on a front end with ceramic on the whole car after is very common. Keeps the whole car looking nice and the front protected from chips.

PPF is applied first, then the ceramic is applied over the whole car including the PPF after.

11,000.00 dollars and it will not run any better or faster. I would spend that money on a DOD delete with new cam and lifters along with a good tune.
Then get a decent ceramic coating and power coat them wheels. It will look better and run better. But it’s your money so enjoy it & make that dealership richer. Good luck

The wheels you can take off and send to detroitwheelandtire.com and they will refinish them for you for less than that. I had a set of 20" x 10" Dodge Durango SRT wheels done for around $700 total.. I dropped them off, so that helped with price for sure.

Did Will Farrell give you that quote in his Weatherman plaid blazer?

One problem here. The dealership is double dipping on you. They’re getting a cut rate, low ball deal with their external vendors to do that work.

Those vendors work for cheap to get fed all the jobs at the dealership. The dealer is charging you full retail price that the vendor couldn’t charge the dealership without being laughed off the lot.

Watch the expression on the dealers face if you ask to speak to the person doing the work. You’ll see the BUSTED expression.

Take that quote to an auto sound, tint or body shop for a 2nd quote. You’ll save enough to get a GM big brake package for free.

This isn't a dealership, it's a local shop.

Personal opinion. It’s a Yukon and not an exotic or collector car (if it was an aventador I’d say the film is well worth it). Keeping it perfect won’t help resale value any. If I was me I’d just put PPF on the front bumper to stop 90% of the chips.

It’s a depreciating asset and the 11k will just be thrown away with it.

Yeah I was really just looking to protect the front from chips. It was his idea to protect the whole front. Thank you for the good advice.

Well yeah he wants to make money. I will tell you that my old 2015 Tahoe is destroyed with rock chips but the hood and front fenders really don’t have any damage. It’s just the front bumper. The trucks are so high off the ground anything that gets high enough to hit the hood is pretty rare.

If I ever get a new suv I’d just PPF the front bumper and call it a day for sure. That’s the best bang for your buck.
