    PPF over BF AIO, a good idea or not?

    If the paint is in pretty good shape but has some scratches and marring that are gone using the aio, would it stay that way under PPF or should I go through paint correction?

    If the scratches are removed why do you think the scratches would come back under the PPF ?
    (If I interrupted your question correct.....)

    If you're getting at a product having slight fillers, the scratches that were filled would show before the PPF is applied because like a ceramic coating, PPF needs to be applied to bare clear and everything needs to be stripped off.

    I realize now that aio is not appropriate to use because the ppf will not adhere to the paint because of the wax.

    To apply PPF panel must be nano-ceramic coating free and must be degreased first.

    Also, there is no need to make paint perfect under a PPF, defects will not show. I did not believe that until I saw Scott H. do a video on it. The PPF was able to completely hide heavy sandpaper scratches.... here is the video:

    I was shocked when I saw it. I was told the complete opposite, that PPF acted as a magnifying glass and made all imperfections stand out...

    Unfortunately there are some reputable shops that sell complete vehicle PPF wrap along with full correction and coating and a polisher never touches the paint. We’re talking $8k-$10k jobs here.

    Coating over the PPF makes sense. The full correction looks like it doesn't.
