New truck won’t be able to fit in garage. Initially was only going to clear bra the front but since it’s going to be outside all the time, do you think full bra is worth it?

I am doing the full front and roof. My STEK PPF job is more of a sacrificial layer from the UV than it really is to protect from anything else. My truck is outside 24 - 7 so the VA sun just bakes that clearcoat no matter what I do. My only other option is a cover but I do not really like that. I will probably take the PPF off in about 6 years if I plan on keeping the truck and do it again.

I have an 2009 Tacoma and when you look at it from the side it is a creampuff but if you look at the hood and roof, it makes you sick.

Novice question, does this reduce the depth of the paint and the ability to polish it?

The PPF doesn't reduce it, just the paint correction. You polish before putting on the PPF. When you put the PPF on, you don't have to polish that area until you remove it.
