- Bushwrapz Advance - paint protection Film PPF
It’s no secret that our y62 patrol is the most expensive 4wd we have ever owned. With this in mind I wanted to look after it and keep it new for as long as possible. This is why we decided that we were going to clear wrap the outside to protect the paint.
I came across Bushwrapz towards the later years of the old Fortuner, but already being too far gone I decided not to bother with attempting to save the paint. With the brand spanking new Patrol however, something needed to be done to prolong the inevitable damage from 4wding.
What is Bushwrapz? It is paint protection film or PPF. It also has self-healing properties that get rid of scratches in the sun or with added heat.
There are a few different levels of Bushwrapz, we went with the mid-range Advance kit. This is a Pre-cut DIY kit. The Bushwrapz Advance comes with a 5 year warranty, and offers good tear resistance and self-healing.
Wrapping a vehicle is something that I wouldn’t have thought I could do myself at home. But it was surprisingly easy. Check out the video to see how simple it is.
If you are looking for the best in paint protection for your 4wd definitely check out bushwrapz.com.au and see how they can protect your 4wd.
just a tip if you do this again, when pulling the PPF off of the backing sheet spray your slip solution on the PPF as you peel it off, because the PPF has got a lot of static and it love sucking crap onto it, especially with a white car, the crap shows up alot
Nice one.
If it's anything like window tint it is best to wet the outside of the film as you squeegee it to help the squeegee slide. 👍
The squeegee has a soft felt on it. It did end up wet. It seemed to slide easy either way though
definatly makes it easier to squeegee the PPF onto the car and with the bushwraps material if it creases while you squeegeeing it will leave a line
Great review and advice. Your ‘daughter’ was an expert at this.
Hahahha make me feel old 😂😂😂
Great work, I bought magnetic protection but it won't stay on my car and kept losing panels so I will go down this path also. Thanks for the video. 👌
Thanks mate ✌️I do commonly hear of guys losing panels.
Another good video mate, well worth thinking about for protection 👍
Thanks mate ✌️
👍 Well done Kell.
Hahahaha lucky I had her there 🤣
Great job on the application though I would have had the dents fixed first. Also the missus lighting up a smoke at the end 😂😂😂
Hahahaha yeah smoking seems to be another lockdown mod
Here 2 years later, checking how it's holding up. Have the parts of the panels not covered faded/worn different to the parts covered with the film?
Came up good guys!
Cheers mate ✌️
Great work, really good idea, try not to get in the way so much kell said, LOL 😆
Hahahaha she said some other choice words I couldn’t put in the video as well 🤣🤣
GoPro setting to PAL 50Htz to stop the light strobe mate.
Awesome
Its such a good idea this stuff
Did you ever used throttle controller device such as Idrive or sprint booster? I want to know your opinion on it is worth or not and i think it’s going to be a great idea for a video.
Hey mate, I did run a I drive in the old rig. It is obviously no extra power. I use to run it on auto mode and found it really good from a throttle sensitivity point of view. I will eventually install some form of throttle controller in this it just hasn’t been high on my list as this has a heap more power and torque. But in saying that definitely keen to see how it performs in something that already has heaps of get up and go.
Hey mate was looking at installing some of these. How are they going and any issues with it?
Hey mate they are definitely worth it. I’ve had no issues. Every new car I get from here on will have them. If you look at my greens break road vid I absolutely punished them and they have no scratches on them now. I force healed one with some heat. I can’t recommend them enough ✌️
Just wondering how the film is holding up, does it help when someone accidently or carelessly opens a door and hits the door with film on it will it somehow protect from chips or minor dents
It’s awesome, I hit it with heat and dissolved a big scratch after my watagans trip. Very impressed. It’ll definitely protect from scratches and chips. Dents not so much
Hey mate, what fuel consumption on open rd you getting, and what around town? Ive heard some people getting 13 litres per 100km on highway. Just curious,
2021 Ti, 17 in town, 13 on mountain roads, 10~11 on highway. Loaded or not loaded, not much difference…
Hi mate how’s the pot holding up after this time
Hey mate it’s still awesome, I definitely recommend it. There is no way my car would be as scratch free as it is without it.
@@HappyGoTravel cheers matey looking at getting some now was tossing up between a professional install which was around the 4K mark or this. $4k is lot to fork out in one hit so I’ll be getting the bushwrapz 👍
@@adamsurf76 I would have liked to do the bonnet and roof but was in the same boat it’s a lot of cash. This is definitely an affordable way to protect the majority of it ✌️
We just doing this shit again today.
Did you heat seal the edges??
I didn’t, I do highly recommend doing it though
What do you heat it with?
@@Krambo19 you can use a hair dryer if you dont have a heat gun :)
Is this the paint protection they sell you when you buy a new car?
No. the stuff from the dealer is normally a form of ceramic coating. This is a film stuck on
Happy Go Travel oh ok , is the stuff from the dealer worth it? Or a bit of a scam, I got a y62 coming in jan/feb they are still trying to sell that stuff to me, appreciate your reply 👍
@@Mrbeast0099 depends on what you intend on doing with your patrol. If your going to take it off road this stuff is better
