Considering full car wrap vs PPF for paint protection. What are the real pros and cons of each?

Wrap and PPF serve different purposes. PPF is transparent, protects original paint from chips and scratches, maintains resale value, and typically lasts 5-10 years. Wrap changes color, protects paint, but may affect resale, and lasts 3-5 years. PPF is more expensive - full car 15-25k AED vs wrap 8-15k AED. If you love your car's original color and want protection, PPF makes sense. If you want color change plus protection, wrap works. I went PPF route to preserve factory paint. Read wrap vs PPF debate at https://www.reddit.com/r/DubaiPetrolHeads/comments/1qdfygs/looking_for_a_trusted_car_detailing_shop_in_dubai/ with various opinions. PPF self-heals minor scratches with heat, wraps don't. Removing PPF doesn't damage paint if done properly. Wrap removal can sometimes damage if paint is weak. For lease cars or frequently traded vehicles, PPF is safer choice. Both require professional installation - DIY rarely ends well.
