I used Reep they have depots across the UK. They installed Llumar PPF but another popular one is Xpel.

I do nothing different when washing the car because of the PPF, the only thing i don;t use on the PPF is tar and glue remover or any other harsh chemicals.

We have a Up Gti on order and have had a quote to PPF that but costs are making it a hard decision. Maybe just a good paint correction and ceramic coating instead, it wont help with stone chips but will keep the paint looking good.

Anyone know what the life expectancy is of PPF?
Ive heard rumours its 5 years, anyone know that has it what the truth is, its something ive wanted to ask retailers of it for a while now as I normally keep my cars for a long time. The other thing ive wondered about is micro blistering. This can happen to paint if a car cover is fitted over long periods so i wonder about PPF?
