What would you say is the BEST way to go?

I would like to do grill and some interior bits. wrapping worries me about bubbling/pealing?

Carbon dipping looks good, but do they coat it to stop it just scratching/rubbing off? (silly I know but not 100% how the dipping works)

Avoid dipping for anything on the front of the car as the coating will tend to chip. Wrapping is more resilient.

Wrapping if done properly can last 5-7 years.

I'd vote for wrapping on both counts. :happy2:
