It all depends on the skill of the installer as far as ppf goes. Less skilled applications will usually result in some bubbles along some edges. As long at the shop backs up their work with a great warranty you should be good to go. I got my full front wrapped in xpel + ceramic coated the entire car because when I did my search, a lot of members on here mentioned that the oem paint is actually quite thin. Ceramic coating does make the color richer and give it a bit more pop and gloss, but you will also become OCD and notice every small swirls and micro scratches on your perfect shiny smooth surface.

There are some small changes in maintenance. Washing will be easier now due to the better beading, but you will have to be more selective of what you use for the car wash as you should avoid any wash/wax combos or applying waxes to a ceramic coat. And periodically you would have to give it an application of a maintenance coat layer which your detailer shop will likely either include a bottle of or sell you a first bottle at a discount when you pick it up.
