I'm contemplating having this done but not sure yet. I will not spend too much time at the track. Couple times a year maybe.
I've done this on about five cars of mine. I would never own a nice car again without PPF.

The film has gotten much better over the past few years too. Like Xpel now offers a 10 year warranty on it's Ultimate PPF (this is what I am getting installed on my car next week).

They used to sometimes turn a little yellow (especially the older 3M PPF), but the past two cars that I had done (Xpel) did not. If you maintain them, the new PPF should last at least a decade before they need replacement.

I know the Xpel Ultimate is self healing. So if you get a dimple from a rock, not only will it protect the paint, but it will over a few days flatten back out again.
