The most meaningful long term test of Paint Protection Films is right here on Scott’s. Channel. You have exposed the self -healing properties as being short lived on ALL these films. Another exaggerated marketing claim that is now debunked!
When you decide to end this test it would be interesting to expose the films to a barrage of pebbles and rock chips to see how each film protects the paint from the impact. For consumers protection from pebbles and small rocks is a top priority when choosing which film to apply to a vehicle.
Awesome video. Just what I was looking for...no real clarity because none really stood out above the rest but great video!!
Nice
Great test Scott I love all of your product reviews. The only thing I wonder about is the chemical resistance test affecting the self-healing properties. I don't really care about how they bead up because we can just put a coating on them. But the self-healing property to me is a huge selling point and I wonder if the egg test or anything else affected it.
Again, another great video Scott, thank you. My Porsche 718 Spyder will arrive in three weeks and I am already booked for my PPF using Solar Gard Clearshield Pro Hydro. Have you heard of Solar Gard PPF Scott?
I wonder how Suntek's new Reaction PPF would hold up.
Love the videos, I keep my car in a garage. I wonder if that would make a big difference in the performance of the film you are testing.
Is there a way you could do a similar test on edges being wrapped and how well all the films hold up from an adhesive standpoint? Also would be curious to see a test surrounding how they hold up to actual rock penetration? Maybe at the end of all tests, taking this hood down a gravel road being dragged behind - and then seeing which ones have more holes? Just an idea
Great suggestion! I can probably make that happen. All of these films except hexis have the edges wrapped, so when we get to the end we will pull them up.
Super test. Thanks a lot. For sure on a daily driver normally looked after, the films would last longer and yellow less quick. Especially if coated with some UV protecting wax / hybrid ceramic spray or quick detailer.
They all seem to do quite well in fact, although I have a preference for STEK and XPEL Ultimate +
Same, which one did you finally decide to go with?
@@MultiSuryansh Finally I went for Hexis Bodyfence, very happy with it. Hydrophobic properties are great. Easy to dry the car after washing it. Clarity is great, can't see it on the car unless you look at it closely. Yellowing to be monitored with time. 5 year guarantee, so we will see.
It's been on the car for a few months now, but not having received anything near to the abuse in Scott's tests ofcourse.
Xpel ultimate with it's orange peel aspect put me off. STEK could have been a choice if it hadn't been an availability issue in my place.
@@micsub STEK and XPEL is available in my country, the installer suggests STEK as well. Thank you for the detailed answer. Cheers!
Mr Scott, thanks for your video. It has been very useful. For your professional opinion which would be the best exterior car protector? PPF, ceramic coating, wax or another? Thank you
PPF will always provide the best protection.
Which film have the best performance will now?
So which one is doing the best overall in your professional opinion? IE which one would you put on your vehicle at this point?
may be none of them? Films are too costly for just a short period and limited protection
What type of Llumar ppf was used in this test?
Can you recommend any chemical on PPF? such as is wax OK on PPF maintainment wise?
A spray sealant/coating or a ceramic coating should be ok to use. Some waxes may cause cloudiness. You would have to do a test spot like on a lower bumper or so to see how it would react.
Too bad you didn't try Stek DynoCarbon, Black, etc. That PPF is so different, maybe a new test? I don't know who else does tinted/colored PPF besides STEK.
Would a light polish help on my PPF if I see light scratches?
Absolutely. You can lightly polish PPF to get some scratches out. It doesn't always work perfectly in our experience, but some will polish out better than others
@@ScottHD some companies make ppf polish. Possibly a test to see which ones come back to life
@@ScottHD which ppf polish better?
Would you recommend a ceramic coating at the time of ppf install?
Is ppf worth it on a white car?
My best,
Ray
@@raymondbracamontesd.c.3776 @Scott HD, Which one would recommend for a White tesla M3 and why?
Hey Scott again here you never responded back to me about a carpet protectorate for the carpet in my Hyundai's
We don't do a lot of carpet "protection" type of details, so I may not be the right person to answer that. Cleaning? There's probably something I can recommend.
@@ScottHD
Ok I get that Scott thanks!
I hate the fact that you don't always give out your own verdict. Like at the end of this video no verdict, no ranking from you on the films and their performance. Video can never replace direct eyesight/vision... So your own verdict/ranking means a lot to us.
Wow, they all performed pretty poorly at 1 year, I thought most had a 10year guarantee. Both self healing and hydrophobic properties are all but gone and the clarity on some are just awful.
So, takeaway: Don't buy Kavaca.
It had amazing hydrophobic properties and instantly self healing at the beginning, but it was definitely short lived.
So, in your opinion... the "best option" is xpel and lummar?
@@ScottHD I have Xpel on my hood and bumper and honestly, if I saw this test beforehand, I would have tried to scope out a Flexishield installer to save some money. Seems like the best value out of the bunch, and there really isn't that huge a difference between the two.
@@peteyification I like the shine in the beginning of flexishield... in therms of price... xpel is more expensive than flexi... but here in Brazil we dont have flexi to buy...
We have kavaca, steck, bodyfence, xpel, 3m.
Flexishield, from an installer standpoint, it has a less agressive adhesive. (Doesn't affect you as a retail customer, but it may have issues later down the road from edges lifting, etc...that would be the big weak spot if I had to point one out)
