Not sure why leasing or buying figures in to a decision to PPF or not ... you correct the paint once and PPF and forget about it. I can assure you that if you care about how your car looks you'll spend as much during the course of the lease as you would have on scratches, correction, wax, dents etc. Maintaining a PPF is a joke and the car always looks good; try maintaining a dark colored car.

My car has Xpel PPF and I paid nowhere near $6k.

Not sure how people treat their cars in 30-36 months lease, but the paint and finish will hold up if washed and treated appropriately, and yes people are paying north if $5k for the complete car. I just don't see the point, maybe front end to prevent rock chips, but whole car seems like a waste especially if leasing for 30-36 months. It's just a car and as you said it depreciates nearly 50% in 3 years, I can see spending the money if it were a $250k car.
This is my 5th dark M5 and the first I've PPF'd and I can tell you it's night and day .... I use to share your opinion until I tried it. Either way, to each his own.
