Default What do you wrap? And swirls on paint! Advice needed

I'm curious what people have wrapped with ppf / Suntek / 3m on their cars?

Full front hood / fenders? More? Or less?

I have the full front hood fenders and bumper wrapped without Suntek. I'm debating if I should do the hood and doors as well. I've started to notice some swirls on my paint on the unprotected hood, despite using microfiber towels. Not sure if it is permanent or it would go away with some special treatment. Any advice on avoiding or getting rid of swirls?

I did the entire front end, full fenders, pillars, headlights, and rockers (suntek). I'm also wrapping my entire roof in carbon fiber wrap, as well as the mirror caps and spoiler. At the same time I'm going to get the doors wrapped in suntek. Wasn't going to wrap the doors but changed my mind. I have a nardo gray ttrs so the paint is high maintenance. I can't see myself living with the car without wrapping all of the above.

You need to make sure to wash correctly and get it coated in ceramic to solve this problem. Invest in a blower to dry the car-that really reduces the abrasion on the car's paint.

You're based in Calgary right? Where did you get yours done?
