    PPF problem

    If you’ve only hand washed it, it should definitely not be peeling like that. Assuming you took it to a reputable installer, you should be able to bring the car back to them and have those pieces replaced under warranty.

    To wrap or not to wrap?

    We've been installing paint protection film for a long time, and we've seen how far the industry has come in recent years. While this used to be a problem for older products, modern films are highly durable and resistant to yellowing. Most clear bras come with a 5 to 10 year warranty against...

    Suntek CIR or 3M Crystalline?

    We've tried a variety of window tinting films, and 3M Crystalline stands out as the leader for heat rejection. It also has a limited lifetime warranty (for as long as you own the vehicle) to give you peace of mind. We've worked on many Teslas before, and the Model X is especially tricky if you...

    Help! Windshield cracked

    Tommie, Sorry to hear about your experience, it's never fun having to replace a windshield. One thing I'd recommend to other owners who are concerned about windshield damage is a product from Madico called Clearplex. It's a transparent film that we install on customers' vehicles to protect...

    Hi there! We've tried out some of the new premium shield product. It's definitely going to be one of the top films in the industry, however, our initial testing with some of their early product was not quite up to our standards. We have been in contact with Colleen (Regional Rep) and Brett...

    Paint Protection Film Wrap Imperfections

    How many of those do you have on the car? Just the hood, right? If that was at my shop, the car would not leave until it was fixed or replaced. As close to the edge as they are, there is no reason they should not have been able to pull up the film and clear the debris then reapply it with no...

    Suntek vs Xpel?

    The Model X is a really cool vehicle and we’ve been lucky enough to work on quite a few of them now. With SunTek or Xpel, it really comes down to personal preference, but we tend to like Xpel more. Xpel really stands behind their product; so much so, they have a 10 year warranty which is double...

    Vendor Model X Wrapped in Xpel Stealth Paint Protection Film - Matte White

    This Tesla Model X P90D had a full custom Xpel stealth wrap. Here at Auto Armour we ensure perfection by wrapping the PPF (paint protection film) around the edges of the doors, hoods, E.T.C.

    Looking for chrome/silver/mirror spray paint

    I agree that Xpel is very helpful on paint ESPECIALLY in areas that get hit the most (rockers, full front end, rear impact, E.T.C.), but in our shop we normally don't put Xpel on the chrome rear diffusers. Having Xpel on that chrome piece wouldn't have prevented that damage, and I don't know...

    Dirty Tesla Pics

    We don't have any dirty pictures of a Tesla...and we don't have any Tesla pictures without any paint...but we do have this picture of a Model S in the process of getting some paint protection film. It is missing its headlights, so in a way...it is a partially "naked" Tesla. I am sure this helps...

    To wrap-0r not to wrap

    I am sure you already figured out what you wanted to do by now...but for the sake of people looking at this thread later on. If you go to Xpel's website you can easily search for installers in your area. Each installer has pictures of vehicles they've done, and has a rating. The rating isn't a...
