PPF on Carbon Roof

Does anyone know if there are (or had any) issues with PPF on Carbon?

In particular I’m considering PPFing the roof to provide some additional sun deterioration protection (Western Australia) but unsure if it will be difficult to remove / replace in future (as I understand heat is required to remove).

Cheers

I did a 16-18" strip on the front- I found PPF on entire top was a bit over the top. I 5 layer ceramic coated though, so that helps me a bit with the sun!

Ok thanks! 5 layers of ceramic coating certainly sounds good!

Roundie Not that my way is the right way, just thought I'd share as I was pondering the same and actually had specified for the full top to be done, changed mind day of appt - go figure!

I've used PPF on tons of exterior carbon parts for years for extra UV protection and have never had issues. Definitely worth it if the car sees a ton of sunlight.
