Paint protection film
I am thinking to apply paint protection film on the front and sides of my mercedes 2010 s500.
It is kinda expensive ranging from usd 700 to usd 2000. Is it worth it? I am a car freak so want to prevent small scratches aswell..but not sure if paint protection films are good. Some people say just use car wax once a month which is good enough and dont use so much money on paint protection film..help!

I remember hearing that Plastidip (and the competing brands of liquid wrap) have come out with a new clearcoat basically that acts to protect paint. I'll take a look and see if I can find some more information.

Keep in mind these are what we typically see across the country and it can vary with these factors:
- Where you live
- Demand for paint protection film
- Size of your vehicle
For a partial front end: This includes 18-24” up the hood and fenders, front bumper, mirrors and sometimes headlights. This ranges from $895 - $1,195.
For full front coverage: This includes the entire hood and front fenders, front bumper, mirrors and sometimes headlights. This ranges from $1,895 - $2,195.
For full car coverage: This includes every painted surface on the car possible. This ranges from $4,500 - $8,000.
