PPF Ceramic and Tint

I have a June Build date for my 580. I'm planning to get the combination of PPF and Ceramic as well as tint on the windows. I'd love to hear your experience withe these.

I’ve done both ceramic tint and PPF on mine. Apart from the 12V battery dying (for which there is a software update which you hopefully have from factory), no issues at all. I also dechromed mine at the same time.

I did the same, with Expel products. Opening the hood for PPF resulted in critically low 12V battery and error codes, and subsequently messing up the TPMS.
Didn't go for coating, which I may end up doing myself.

I have a satin finish so PPF was mandatory IMO. I also had the issue with the 12v battery running down during the installation.. XPEL has a satin film and a satin ceramic coating. The end result is excellent.
