PPF Interior?

[ebeller08]

My 992 is getting delivered in 3 weeks and I am getting full PPF and coating on the exterior. I have seen some posts about also doing the interior. I am open to the idea, but would like to get feedback if the seats or any part of the interior looks different after as well am I going overboard putting PPF on the interior? Thanks

The parts of the interior, that are primarily subject to wear, are the floor mats and seats. Floor mats can be inexpensively replaced when worn out. I don’t know how you would apply PPF to your seats?

Probably the hard parts on the hard seat backs....

It never occurred to have any of the interior done. If you had painted parts inside to match the exterior, they'd probably look fine and virtually the same as stock. What parts would you put the film on? Other than painted parts, I'd think most interior parts are too small/detailed for film to work well, and the film would add a gloss to parts that weren't glossy before...

The exterior paint is vulnerable to rock chips, birds, sap, and other blemishes every time you take it out of the garage -- there is virtually nothing you can do (realistically) to eliminate that risk. Paint protection film (PPF) --or an old school bra -- is about the only way to protect your paint from that. On the other hand, the inside of the car is not at risk for any of that. The only thing that might chip or scratch the hard surfaced inside the car is you and/or your passengers. But, if that's a real risk for someone, then the carpet and upholstery are probably at even more risk, and they affect the overall visual of the interior even more. So, I dunno, I'm not sure I 'see it' for putting film inside, other than "maybe" trim painted to match the exterior....

The center console and the touch screen can be PPF. Xpel makes a pre-cut kit for the 992 modes. The kit is easy enough to install. It takes about 15 minutes.

If you have Alcantara, it is good to spray a water and wear repellent. It will help, not totally avoid the wear, but it will help with the Alcantara. I am having that done, since my whole interior is in Alcantara.

I did my interior trim pieces that are gloss black in xpel ppf. Helps with micro scratches, swirls, fingerprints, etc. They are lots easier to wipe off the ppf than the trim. I also did my rear seatbacks as I had them painted gloss black to match. Paid for itself already as the kids love to kick the back seat when riding in the car.

I considered doing PPF on the piano black console, but decided to buy the matt CF from DB Carbon out of Germany instead.
