Paint Protection Film can be installed on top of a vinyl wrap, but not the other way around.
Most high-end PPF films are hydrophobic so if you tried to wrap vinyl on top of it; it will not stick.
Although doing this is not very common as the cost is astronomical to get a vehicle vinyl wrapped and additionally covered in PPF, usually, you choose one or the other.
If it is something you wish to do; perhaps, rather than wrapping the whole car in PPF, select spots that are more prone to damage like the front bar and bonnet. You must also keep in mind that having PPF installed over the top of a vinyl wrap would void the vinyl warranty.
But the PPF certainly will protect the original paintwork and vinyl wrap from surface scratches, UV exposure, hard water deposits and acid rain, which are all elements that will kill a wrap if overexposed to them.
