Recommendations
5 Owner Scenarios & What to Choose
High-performance / Porsche / Ferrari / Tesla Model S Plaid
Recommendation: Full PPF
High-speed driving multiplies stone-chip exposure. Thin OEM paint plus expensive touch-ups make full coverage the smart economic choice.
Tesla Model 3 / Y / everyday family car
Recommendation: Front half PPF + rear wheel arches
Tesla's soft paint plus Hong Kong's coarse road surfaces make front-half coverage the sweet spot — solves ~80% of stone-chip risk at the best value.
Budget-conscious / older vehicle (3+ years)
Recommendation: High-wear zone package
Front bumper + front third of hood + A-pillars from HK$4,800 covers the three highest-risk chip zones.
Planning to swap cars within 1–2 years
Recommendation: Partial or high-wear zone package
Short holds don't justify full coverage — protect the front, which most affects trade-in valuation.
4 Signs to Choose Full PPF
- • New car (0–6 months) with 3+ year hold plan
- • Regular highway or cross-border driving
- • Resale value matters — plan to sell eventually
When Partial / Zone Package is Enough
- • Budget between HK$15,000–$20,000
- • Vehicle 2+ years old with some existing touch-ups
- • Planning to swap cars within 1–2 years
- • Mostly short urban driving
