I'm having my CT wrapped - what is the suggestion on protection for the Vinyl, PPF or Ceramic coating. If ceramic coating, any suggestion on what to put on? My main concern is rocks and cleaning without causing damage to the vinyl. I'm having tech wraps True blood and Avery satin black put on.

Suggestions would be great, thanks.

You should use colored PPF rather than 2 layers vinyl and PPF. I think that’s what most of us do. Then ceramic on the PPF. Ceramic won’t protect you from chips etc. just makes it easier to clean.

Too late to change to PPF - but it sounds like PPF is best option on top of vinyl

suggestion: forget the wrap and keep it oem.

I've already gotten it wrapped, but will have to keep that in mind for future. I'm going to PPF it my self probably.

Ceramic and PPF are different things. Ceramic is mostly about the cleaning aspect. PPF will stop small rock chips. Depends on what you want, but probably both IMO. I have colored PPF and put ceramic on that. To PPF a whole thing on top of vinyl is basically double the cost. Cheaper to just remove the vinyl and put colored PPF on.
