Thank god for PPF!
Found out today someone probably scratched me a couple days ago in a parking lot. Thank god I got PPF 2 weeks ago!
Now my question is that is it possible to remove this and heal up the PPF? Or should I just replace that section? Or should I just ignore it and be thankful? |

Clean it off and see what's left. If there's no cuts in it, and minimal marks left after you get the transfer off, I would leave it. It'll just get rock chips eventually. Then replace the ppf. Won't be worth the money to replace it yet.

I recommend that you go to the shop that installed your PPF and get their opinion.
Keep your fingers crossed as it might be a simple fix that they can do with a small patch while you wait. Before going you should pickup some BMW touch up paint as you never know how it will look once they peel away the PPF in that section. |

A few weeks ago this happened to me where I had a case of front bumper rash, and I thought that it was a simple replacement of a small section of PPF. It turned out that my shop had to use my Misano Blue touchup paint and then wait for it to dry before adding PPF. Once done it looked brand new! 👍🏻

Thank you, I'll go back to the shop and ask their opinion and decide then what I want to do!

You should invest in a package of BMW touch-up paint and have it on hand for future use as most dealers only stock the basic colors. |
