Excellent car, and excellent work!
(super small minor note: try to keep the audio level consistent throughout the video... either the music was way too loud, or the speech was way too soft... had to keep adjusting my volume)

Re: BMW M4 GTS | Xpel Ultimate Paint Protection Film | Chicago Auto Pros
Great job. Not on you or the installers but I still have no idea why anyone wraps their whole car. I've had PPF on my vehicles for 20yrs+ and never had a need nor issue that would call for a need to wrap the entire thing. Way over kill; but it's their money.
Beautiful car though and again, great job!

Honestly no. My cars have all been in fantastic shape. Door dings here and there yes, but nothing that damaged paint beyond a light buff after PDR.
Wife, yes, but no clear bra would have prevented damage she did. She's always nailed things like concrete posts and her side swipe of the garage wasn't an issue in terms of scratches or paint transfer, it was the corresponding dent above the wheel well that was the issue. Thankfully I pulled that and 8/12 door dings out myself.
^^ Great example but why the front of my car is wrapped. However, I've never seen a side panel or a rear qtr panel that hasn't creased or done more damage than just paint transfer. In the end though I keep $100 collision and $0 comprehensive deductibles so I don't don't need to worry about costs.
Again, in the end, to each their own. My bra is among the clearest out there and even with Xpel there's a difference in the appearance of where it's covered vs not. I wouldn't want to give up that edge in terms of appearance. That said, I'm not sure BMW has the best paint finish out there. Hopefully this one does, but I've seen many newer ones where orange peel is an issue thus perhaps it's not as notifiable. On my car, I wouldn't want to give up the edge as it has spectacular finish. I deal with the bikini line as it is but it's more of a talking point for me.

Ah, nice. Seems like I find new scratches and scuffs every time I was my wife's car. I rarely take mine anywhere besides work so mine isn't quite as relevant, but I'd still love to be able to peel away years of bumps, scratches, and scuffs. Definite full front wrap on nicer cars... I certainly agree with you there.

That is why
EDIT: Found these online, not my pictures.
That's awesome!
