Why PPF is the highest-margin thing you can learn

A full-front PPF job bills more than a week of tint work. The reason so few shops offer it is not that customers don't want it. It is that almost nobody is trained to install it. In most markets, the shop that can do PPF properly is the only shop that can do PPF properly.

Hands-on paint protection film training -- plotter patterns, panel prep, stretch and tuck, edge wrapping and finishing.
