Three cars now have had PPF....the newest (X5) has a front+ (which to my shop means full front/mirrors/rear bumper/6" of roof). I park outside (I know....), I drive 60 miles a day on I95 (sometimes I may drive close to the car in front of me if they are not cruising as they should in the left lane)...and btwn rock chips/bird and tree crap, etc...PPF WORKS. Last car was black (which sucks 10 min after my twice a week wash) and PPF helped especially with bird issues. PPF on that car lasted 9 years. I also have experience with a $1500k ceramic job - that's a waste of $$ IMHO, and on this matter, GrussGott is spot on - get a decent product, do it yourself twice/thrice a year if you're into it. Plenty of 'nano' things out there (look at Detailers Domain)....
You own the car/>3 yr lease...get it. Go to a recommended detailer (that has $$ cars in his shop), and you'll be fine. My detailer (Strek) has me coming back once a year to inspect and any minor repairs.
