Ppf then coat the film. That would by far be the best option. Don't just think about oxidation... think about pitting over time from stones as that is equally as bad imo.
Find an installer that Uses a film like clearguard nano sr which has a nano coating built into the top layer. It's amazing...

Unfortunately the weather wasn't playing nice and we weren't able to get any sun shots on the day of pickup. As disappointed as I was for putting in so much work and not being able to see the true results in bright sunlight, that disappointment was...
