Both PPF and vinyl wraps offer protection, but they serve different purposes:

Paint Protection Film PPF
Nearly invisible and provides strong resistance against scratches, chips, and UV damage.
Self-healing properties minor scratches disappear with heat.
More expensive $500–$2,500 depending on coverage.

Vinyl Wrap
Protects against scratches but is thinner than PPF.
Allows customization with different colors and finishes.
More affordable than repainting $1,500–$5,000 for a full wrap.

PPF is the best choice for long-term scratch prevention, while wraps are ideal for style changes and moderate protection.
