Xpel / Ceramic?
Is it common practice putting a ceramic coat over an Xpel PPF?
Just want to PPF the front bumper and headlights. Then ceramic coat over the whole car including the PPF.
Thanks

This is my plan
Yes, this is my plan, also. In fact, I’m holding off on any major driving until my appt on June 13. I’m getting the Xpel track package (front end complete, pillars, mirrors, rocker panels, behind rear tire area) then Modesta ceramic over entire car. Also doing the STEK Dyna for the windshield. Not everyone agrees, but it will at least give me some protection and peace of mind.

I have seen posts here on the forum about putting ceramic coating over PPF. Nothing wrong with doing so from what I understand.

I did on mine. Partial coverage with STEK PPF and coated entire car with CarPros ceramic coating.
