Ok, so what can you put on the edges of the PPF to keep it from accumulating dirt? Can you cover with Ceramic coating, spray wax, paste wax or ??? mine has a dark edge where the dirt sticks to it.
Ya then how many years you have to replace whole film. Plus yellowing of film over time if not maintained. Had them both and film on hood and bumper with ceramic on rest if vehicle is the the best combination I found.
Hey! Thanks for watching our videos! Keep in mind on yellowing film alot of that depends on the brand of film used or the age. In our experience we use XPEL Ultimate Plus paint protection film which carries a 10 year warranty against yellowing. Also not only should you ceramic coat your painted surfaces not protected with paint protection film, but putting ceramic coating over the paint protection film to protect it from the UV rays is highly recommended because UV is one of the main causes of film deterioration.
Looks like you guys work in a clean environment and care about the workmanship just from watching this video..I live in Florida and im waiting to my model X in white, just wondering if I can ship it there to have the PPF and a ceramic coating on top the whole vehicle., what would something like that cost. or just the whole front with mirrors and headlights and then ceramic the whole thing...Thanx for the video and your time
Thanks so much for your comment! Can you please give us a call at 918-806-2780 ask for Jay he’s our store manager and we will be happy to get you prices and setup auto transport.
For ultimate protection, are you advocating for a first layer of ceramic coasting, then a layer of PPF, and then another layer of ceramic coating? Wow! That's so expensive. Is there a simpler way?
Absolutely not, we recommend that you do PPF on the crucial areas such as the front end and rocker panels, and then apply the ceramic coating over the ppf and the paint. Also keep in mind that you can not ceramic coat first and then apply ppf, the job of ceramic coating is to make your paint slick so that things do not want to stick to it. Which means ppf also would not like to stick to it.
Thank you for sharing that information very helpful to understand side x side between two different coating, I spoke to you the other day anyway cant wait for my car.
thank you for sharing. ****** If I get partial PPF, what can I use to clean dirt build-up at the demarcation line in the middle of the hood and side of the fenders? What is the spray called and is it really effective and reliable to actually remove the dirt line, so it's not an eyesore ? ******
The best way to clean the edge of ppf is with a ppf cleaner such as what we sell. Then you put some of that cleaner on a Q-Tip and rub along the edges and wipe clean with a microfiber, then ta-da! The edges are clean. That was a great question! Thank you for watching!
Great video guys If I was to wrap my roof on my car ( gloss black ) in your opinion would PPF on top of the gloss black wrap give it a better shine and more protection ?? Hope you reply Totally awesome video
Great question! Doing PPF over the gloss wrap would definitely add gloss and depth and protect the vinyl from getting chipped. We have a lot of clients that like to protect their vinyl with PPF. Thanks for watching!
Great question! It doesnt “repel” pollen per say, but just makes it easier to clean off. It also takes long for it to build up allowing your car to stay cleaner a little longer between washes than without it.
To a degree yes black is more susceptible because it attracts much more heat. If UV protection is what you are mainly concerned with, we would suggest protecting your paint with a high quality ceramic coating such as XPEL Fusion Plus.
Ceramic coatings dont protect your clear against heavier scratches, only light scratches and it has great chemical resistance, whereas ppf has all that plus the heavier scratches protection. Also a ceramic coating, or whats left of it after lets say 2-3-5-9 years can be removed by polish, the ppf can simply be removed with heat gun and eventually reaplied, with no polish required, only maybe a proper wash and decon. Ceramic coating is like a weaker clearcoat, ppf is like a soft elastic blanket, but also hard to pierce and self healing in some cases (for the more expensive ones).
You cannot add ppf over ceramic coating. You have to do ceramic coating over ppf. Ceramic coating will protect your paint fading from UV. PPF does not have UV protection. This is because most consumers only cover the front of their vehicle in PPF so if it blocked UV then after 10 years the rest of the vehicle would have faded but not where the film was. This is why PPF does not block UV.

The gloss on XPEL Ultimate PPF is still very shiny, and often times you can’t tell a difference before the PPF was installed versus after. The main time you will see a difference in the glossiness of the paint is if you go with the XPEL Stealth option, which will give the whole car a satin/matte looking finish. When it comes to ceramic coating a car however, there will definitely be a higher gloss finish afterwards where the coating really makes the paint shine and glow.
My 2014 Mustang GT convertible is currently at the paint shop being painted Fighter Jet Gray. I'm considering PPF for the entire hood, the front bumper and both front side panels and then a ceramic coat on the whole car. What is an average cost to do the PPF on what I mentioned? Film and labor.
If we were to guess it would be about 1600 to 2200 for the PPF and 1600$ for ceramic coating 🏁👏 this all depends on the quality of work quality of material as well as location
Hey! Thanks so much for watching! A full paint protection film wrap in general is a great idea, but can also be a costly investment. A few questions to ask yourself. 1. Are you going to take it off roading? 2. Will it be subject to harsh enviornments (construction zones, rail yards, oil fields, etc.) 3. how long are you going to keep the vehicle? if you answered yes to either question 1 or 2 then we recommend ppf on the full body. If you said no to question 1 or 2 but for question 3 you answered 5 or more years, then we would also recommend doing the full body. Other wise we would recommend doing the full front end, with a ceramic coating over the entire vehicle including the paint protection film.
Great question! This is something our sales team can get for you. If you call us at 918-806-2780 they can get you a quote for your exact vehicle. Also yes all of our products carry warranty and our workmanship guarantee.
That’s correct, that’s why we always educate customers that ceramic coating does not protect from rock chips and will always suggest PPF to protect from rock chips!
Fun fact, the clear coat that come with your car has built in UV protection. The PPF is way too expensive. That's what you call milking the rich. I just wax twice a year, my paint looks great.
10 mil is equal to 1/64th of an inch. Not mm, mil.... yeah 10 milimeters would be a centimeter, but a "mil" is not a mm....even though it seems like it should be, maybe we should call a "mil" a "lil" instead to resolve confusion haha😅

@@WGAutoWraps I agree and I did that as well.
I had a Porsche with PFF for several years and never had any yellowing, Agree the quality matters…
@@2Greenlid How did the PPF hold up to rock chips? Seems they're still visible, but unlike paint cannot be corrected.
How much is it for model y for full body ppf?

How is the gloss, thinking of getting ppf but people say gloss is meh compared to ceramic.
Gloss on ceramic is way much shiny then ppf. Ppf is bland. It's like matte paint vs gloss.

Have you used Crystal serum ultra?
All this time and you haven’t educated yourself!
10mm thick?
10 mils = 10 millionths = 0.00001"= 0.000254 mm
Ceramic coating at the front to protect chips? Thats a con.

Self healing is the biggest con !! Everything is self healing with high heat even clear coat !!
