Thanks for the review, our C8 came in Monday. We are going to pick it up today! I’ll definitely do Xpel PPF and Ceramic Pro. Hoping I can find a dealer/installer locally 🙏
You can go on Xpel's site and find local installers. A lot of places that do XPEL do coatings. Not all coating places to ppf. Then just pick who ever posts pictures of supercars on their social media. They usually do the best with the C8. Congrats on getting your C8!
Look up ExoSield. I have a video on cost of replacing a C8 windshield and its pricy. I haven't done ExoShield myself but a buddy of mine had his car done and it was 600 or so for the windshield.
The car was a few weeks dirty and we had a rain storm the night prior so I was trying to show it off on a dirty car for people to really see it work. Thanks for watching!
I don't think the prices change too much if at all. The Ceramic would be identical costs. Same with Front and PPF. Maybe a little more for the full body PPF since the nacelles take a little more time but I can't imagine youd be paying any more then what the coupe costs.
Hey. I am out in MA so not familiar with the LA area but I would go to XPEL's website and find the nearest 5 shops and then search around their social media to see which one does high end cars like ferrari's, lambos, etc. They will be used to doing the job right with the C8. Most of those places also do ceramic coating if you want to do that as well.
Ceramic Pro is Crap... What they don't tell you is that for them to honor the warranty you have to pay $150 per year for a maintenance inspection. The sales agents don't tell you that when you buy your package. All they tell you is that you have to come in for a maintenance inspection once a year but don't tell you that you have to pay for it.

Thanks for your honesty; however, I was actually looking for the dishonest review. Will check back in when you fix, thx
😂😂
I do like the Xpel product and have some done on a couple vehicles. Great video to !
Did you do the TRX? I went back and forth but ended up passing on it.
if you paid like 4K for that package they should replace your rocker panel covering.
They would have but I ended up trading in for a 2022 C8.R
Rock magnet is right for Corvettes. I wish I could find something that'll last and not scratch the windshield.

Great info 👍 I will def save! Also out of curiosity what made you go with the yellow interior and red exterior?
I have always had a thing for yellow calipers. A lot of super cars do it. I think it just pops the most.
Looks like it works good on the calipers but that doesnt look very ceramic coaty on the car itself.

Great review ! How does the price change with the convertible ?

Did you have any trim backs due to dirt under film?
Our 2022 C8 is about 8 weeks away. Looking for PPF in Los Angeles or SFV. Any suggestions? Great videos and much appreciated.

Polished Protection in Signal Hill, CA. Very good, very professional. Had two cars done there. Very pleased.
i just got the full package for my rs3
no beading at all on the paint
Do they remove the logos for ppf install and reapply over ppf?
Nope. XPEL machine scans these cars into their system so the installer gets pre cut pieces around the logo/badge on the hood.
👍
I'm sorry but that ceramic coating is not holding up well after 1 year.
im not gunna lie, when you sprayed the car it looks exactly like a non ceramic 9h car lol
