    How long had old PPF been on it? Any issues with clear coat during it's removal?

    No issues with the clear coat because they were carefully removing with steam. The PPF was on since 2016 and was very yellow. I did notice that they were concerned about the headlight PPF and did not remove that.

    His comment regarding the 458 exhaust note could be in context to the F430/430 Scuderia. The concensus being the 430 has the edge on exhaust note over 458.

    He was also noted as saying the Scud as his favorite over the CS, Speciale and Pista.

    Interesting timing as mine is in right now to remove both the 3M wrap and clear PPF on the nose. Had been on about 4.5 years. Going to switch to Pure PPF brand colored PPF. Should be done next weekend, I’ll get pictures upon pickup.

    No one with a valid business will remove PPF off of headlight lenses. The final filtering and focus is done with a coating on the outside of the plastic which will be removed with the PPF so you're stuck with it.

    Steam doesn't always protect from lifting especially with tight corners on plastic bumpers. Also, as it was explained to me by a well known detailer here, many new cars are sprayed upon in areas rubbed from delivery and before arrival at the dealership. New owners take delivery and immediately apply PPF especially to the front end. PPF on fresh paint has a higher degree of lifting. Pick your poison.
