PPF on a leased car: worth it, and does the lease allow it

Film is removable, so most lessors treat it as an accessory rather than a modification — but check the contract and the wear-and-tear guide first.

What the lease says

Most contracts prohibit modifications that alter the vehicle's condition. Film that is removed cleanly at turn-in usually passes, but get written confirmation from the lessor.

Economics

On a 36-month lease, full front PPF at $2,000 adds roughly $55/month. If it prevents a $600–$1,200 excess wear charge at turn-in, it pays for itself.

Turn-in

Remove film 30–60 days before turn-in so any adhesive residue can be dealt with. Do not leave old film on for the inspection.
