In that regard you can consider it a subjective claim in regards to the value it adds.
I'd also like to include that for even my own clients who are frequently buying and selling cars (lets say less than or around 24-30 months of ownership) depending on their budget and expectations I wont even suggest PPF as I don't think they're getting the value out of it. For those types of owners / clients I just tell them to rock with a good ceramic coating, frequently wash it and just take care of it.
HOWEVER, in private both on the buying end and from selling cars I'd put film on (my last three vehicle transactions including my M2 were private) film does 100% add value to the car. Like any other "modification" we'll call it you're never going to get the money you put in back out of it.
I believe the saying is there is an ass for every seat. I bought my M2 with almost full body PPF on it in good shape and paid a premium for it (among other small things the car had) compared to other examples out there.
I would not have wanted to get one of these cars with a bunch of rock damage up front and repainted panels. Some people don't care and that's perfectly okay too

Dont disagere. Most of my cars get PPF and I certainly like it if used car has but bumpers can and often get painted at port, or from a dealer, or painted and re-PPF'd and youd never know even with a paint meter due to them being plastic.
