I have a Mercedes factory Magno night black finish on my car. Would you recommend I PPF it?

Karl, take a look at this thread below. It may or may not help you decide.

I've heard good things about CQuartz ceramic coating but haven't personally used it.

Have been quoted £5500 for a full car Xpel Stealth PPF to maintain the Magno black finish. Does this sound reasonable and is it worth it?

I was quoted £5000 for my E63s, but I also had a cheaper quote at ~£3500.
In the end I settled for front end PPF for £1000, then a ceramic coating all over.

I believe it's worth it, just think about the first stone chip you get.
No touching up, only full panel respray and I was told they can't even guarantee a colour match anyway.

I had 2 small stone chips prior to applying the PPF and it covered them, now they aren't visible. Plus the dealership left me a nice scratch on my wing, this is now covered and not visible.

Can you tell any difference in the look of the paintwork with the PPF panel next to the non?
