The PCP bubble will burst soon, PCPs haved damaged the sales (and therefore the RVs) of used cars and there will be hundreds of thousands of buyers in negative equity when they come to change their car, what are they going to do, cough up a few £000's and start again? I think that PCPs will soon be viewed as the "endowment mortgage" of the car industry, and the FCA will get involved, again. Talking of mis-selling, who needs paint protection with modern cars? It might make a car marginally easier to clean but is it worth upwards of £300? This type of upsell shows that customers' interests are not paramount, it's about maximising profit, whatever the PR speak.
