I now know that my C7 ZR1 exists in our corporeal plane, and I am awaiting delivery. I already have extended rock guards in my garage awaiting the car. So it is time to consider paint protection.

I do my own detailing, and did not have PPF installed on any of my BMWs. I can see how in some cases it would have helped, and in other situations it would have been a waste of money. But given the fine sand that always seems to be on the I5, and the necessity of tracking the ZR1, I am strongly considering PPF. And of those I lean toward Xpel (unless anyone has a significant argument).

Questions:
1) As I am not going to wrap the entire car, I will still be detailing the exposed paint. Does a D/A present a problem to overlapping the edge of the Xpel?
2) What can be done to detail the Xpel so it and the exposed paint have the same surface gloss?
3) Is Xpel cut to the car, or is it a kit? If the latter, does a kit exist yet for the ZR1?
4) Who knows of a reliable quality installer in Southern CA? Preferably around north OC.
