Although I’m not a central Florida
resident, I will still recommend you
get XPel’s Ultimate Paint Protection
Film (PPF).

I had mine done by Sunstoppers in Melbourne. Ken does GREAT work for a reasonable price. He does a lot of high end cars, often complete wraps. I would not go anywhere else in the Melbourne area. One place I called said they wouldn't touch my car and recommended I go to Ken. When I went to see Ken, he was working on a clients car for the other shop because their installer did a shoddy job. I'm sure you can find some high end installers in Orlando too. Best advice I can give you is you get what you pay for. Going with a cheap installer is a waster of money, IMHO. Also, don't end you any PPF mid-panel. Pay the extra $$$ and get the entire panel done, it looks much better. I went with Llumar Ultimate film (10 year warranty). It's the same as Sun-Tek. I hear it's a bit 'clearer' than XPEL and easier to install. Also this article I read said it has better hydrophobic properties than XPEL (Best Paint Protection Film for Cars? XPEL vs 3M vs LLumar vs SunTek (http://exclusivedetail.com/best-paint-protection-film/))

Llumar Ultimate applied to the hood, bumper, front fender, and the area of the rear fenders just above the brake cooling inlets:

I’ve personally run Xpel Ultimate on all of my vehicles though I have heard from a few others that SunTek has a new PPF which is supposedly “better”.

I am in the Ocala / Crystal River area so the drive to Melbourne is kind of out- but I think that I will call Ken to get a recomendation from him on a installer and maybe see if I can pick his brain on what to look for / tips

Premium Shield's Elite product. Excellent 7 layer system with a lifetime warranty. Ran it on my S4 for years. Super Clear too. Here is a showing of the clarity as I even did my head lights.

Yea that looks real clear on the headlights for sure. Read somewhere on line that they come in thickness ranges from 6 to 10 mills. I would imagine that the thinner ones are more noticeably translucent, but not as durable.

I've got Suntek ppf on my car. I'm a fan of it and so far it's done quite well. Oddly enough I like the look of the film ending on the half of the panel.
