Best film in the industry!

FYI costco has 70.00 off set of 4 Mich + 60.00 off if you use your costco card.

I love coatings.. IF i had to chose due to budget i would do ppf over coatings. IF i had a budget for both go for it! you will love it! ceramic pro interior i love. i have it on both my tesla. it wont stop scrapes and knicks but it helps wiping spills or wiping things down in general.

go with a coating... do the paint correction yourself and hire a shop to install ceramic pro Sport. Ceramic pro sport is 100x better then wax in my opinion

I dont think xpel will sell to the general public. one roll of 60 inch will do a whole model 3

I work on alot of expensive car. Maybe ill show you guys my shop on instagram. Bulk is FINE if they can guarantee they wont cut on your car. ask them that...

1. bulk the hood, big square sheet of film and tuck it all in. no release lines at the corners 2. remove the T replace with new only. 25.00 3. fenders cameras need to be removed. film tucked in under. take a picture of how flush your camera is before dropping off the car. Clips are easy broken...

Thats a tough one... on all my PPF the sensors are cut out. All the kits are made to cut. when I bulk i cut them out also due to liability reasons. ive also wrapped many tesla and customers have signed waivers to leave the sensors covered. So far we havent seen any issues. the tow hook on pre...

just dont be so picky. its an amazing car for sure!

Yes and no... I think tesla owners are reading to much into ppf and what’s best. Some shops... some installers are good enough to do a bulk install without cutting on your car. Any installer on this forums will admit it’s definitely possible to cut on a customers car doing bulk. You know...

Lol... sorry didn’t try to laugh. You will not be owning a Tesla model 3 anytime soon then. The imperfections on some areas are hard to find unless you’re at different angles. Different lighting etc... You know how many Tesla owners think they got the perfect tesla until they come into my shop.

I’ve done 100 model 3 Rear window. A light pad wouldn’t scratch or remove. Wonder if they used a blade to remove the tape from temp plates?

It’s to thick. That’s why a modified Pre-cut kit is best. Sometimes you shouldn’t force Film to do what it’s not suppose to do

All tesla have the fish eyes and paint dimple defects. Some are just worse then others. You’re right you can’t sand them down since it will be white underneath. You will just have to wrap over it. Sometimes it makes it more noticeable

3M has knifeless tape. Works fine for vinyl shitty for ppf

Yes most Suntek 3m and Xpel installers will have pre cut. Ask them to bulk the hood, modify the fenders so the camera comes out. And tuck in fenders. Make sure the camera goes back in flush. Take before and after of the camera flush or not

Modified pre-cut isn’t bad. Honesty for most consumers if I told you it was custom whiling using Pre-cut most wont know. Remember bulk cuts have risk of cutting on the Cars paint.

Imagine if you didn’t have the ppf.

I would go with the front ppf and ceramic pro sport for now. Sport should be in the 200-250 range and last through winter

Not sure how the defrost lines got damaged. Tint’s don’t need to scrape a window that’s been never tinted. The outside blade were but with an old blade :(

If they can’t touch it up ask them to redo it. It’s not easy to making all windows perfect. Most stuff will cure over time or a quick touch up helps also

10 year warranty is vague.. I havnt had to do any warranty work yet. If I have issue I’ll just redo a panel myself and make the customer happy. I’ve done many stealth model 3. Xpel stealth definitely stains. I’ve done some test with 3M they will introduce their stealth in a few weeks. Much...

Prevent yes. With a good coating you have to touch your car much less. less abbrasion = less scratches. CeramicPro also has a 9H application that will help prevent scratches!

CeramicPro has a product for an interior. I've used it for years and love it. At times I wonder if its worth it until i get into my wifes car with the kids it reminds me how great it is.

I have 15 teslas in my shop now. 1 guy took his to Colorado the first week and has about 3 very noticeable rock chips and 10-15 areas from rock pits. These Tesla chip up quick! protect them if its within budget. these front bumpers with the square face can take a beating! rocks don't rickashay...

you're 100% correct. there are a few guys out there that can cut "score" on a car and not cut the car. VERY FEW installers. you have to remember that if they bulk your whole front end or whole car they can easily slip and cut to deep. I think Tesla owners are researching whats best and...

If they used a pre-cut kit there's no reason to remove the front bumper. I want people to know that pre-cut kits are not a bad thing. Depending on where you live stress cuts might be needed. Winter, cold states, driving through 6 inches of snow. stress release cuts are there so film isn't...

if you do it in 2 pieces you will see the seam. you won't see the seam from the outside but you will definitely see it from your rear view mirror. if they are doing it 2 pieces I not sure If i would want them to touch my car, you have to be experienced installer to do it 1 piece. Shaving the...

Ive tested all the brands listed. Xpel does have the better cut program Xpel, suntek, 3m certified. I've even tested the film with 3M engineering team. They all performed similar but not sure about Stek. Stek looks good just not sure with their program just yet. I'm not even sure where they...

bulk and precut Bulk the hood Fenders Xpel hybrid where I extend the film and remove the camera (cut the camera out and tuck in) bumper Bulk when I do stealth, Precut when I do clear. (remember when an installer is doing a bulk they have a chance of cutting on your car)

I always tell my customers we can wrap anything.... but I'm not a fan of forcing or stretching film where it wants to lift and peel back to its original state. acceptable is where it butts up to the edges of the wrapped panel. most edges that are straight can be tucked in. example: top of the...

Ceramic over Film does work amazing. Ceramic Pro developed a coating specific for ppf and vinyl. The problem with coatings are the people selling it wrong. It won't stop rock chips, it wont stop scratches but it will prevent it and help. It will also make your car look amazing and hydrophobic.

Are you doing the full front end? Xpel has a plotter program thats pretty good. (maybe the best plotter software on the market today) - Have them bulk your hood (1 large square piece and have them tuck in the remaining film under) - Replace your T with a new one. (Old one loses its adhesive...

Honestly, I read this happening before.. Its never happened to me. not sure if the glass is breaking after the install or during? During the install, you have to be careful with the heat gun. The rear glass has a layer of UV protectant where it could have weird circles if the installer heats it...

This is the biggest issue I read online. Most installers have egos and will tell everyone they tuck all the film in. or they will bulk a whole car. It's simple... I like my installs to be "stressfree" for the consumers. Tuck in areas where it should be tucked in. line up the film to the edge as...

What brand film whats getting covered? bulking? or do they have a cut program? replacing your Tesla emblem or using the old one? any paint/clear correction are they removing side camera if you are doing full fenders.

Other shops around me are tinting model 3 for 250.00 and advertising its Ceramic. How can you tell its ceramic? as a consumer pretty much you cant. Ask them to see the box. watch them pull the film out of the box.

Paint correction can do the paint wonders! every tesla that comes into the shop has some kind of paint defects. A good detailer will make that car look better then the day it came off the tesla assembly line. Paint nibbles, fish eyes, or dirt in the paint will be the hardest to fix. almost...

Chrome delete on the model 3 is easier than the X or S. Side cameras are tricky... They are hard to remove without sheering off the top plastic clips. It's doable but not easy. The Side cameras will still go into place but not as tight. Chrome delete around the mirror is also doable without...

I've done many front windshields on all Tesla. My X and model 3 are done. Yes, it's very dangerous due to electronics. with the proper tools, you can do it perfectly fine. Make sure your installer is using a rope type fabric to tuck deep down so the water doesn't go into the dashboard.

Full stealth wraps have the biggest price range. prices depend on - Is the shop using the xpel dap program? - Did they spend the time on the dap program to extend the cuts? - are they removing the headlights, front bumper and rear bumper to tuck in all the film? Prices for stealth should be...

My Shop here in the Midwest works on 10-20 Tesla a week. We specialize in Full body PPF, Window tinting, Chrome delete, and coatings. What questions do you have for me? Window tinting - Rear windows should be done 1 piece. - Side windows ask if they can shave it. - Ceramic film? how can you...

you have bigger issues then the film. The film will come off easy with a steamers since its still fresh. the issue you will have is all the CUT marks on your car! I HATE!! let me say this again I HATE! when tesla owners say they want a bulk install and everything tucked in. bulk install =...

Xpel but they are doing bulk cut or are they using the DAP cutting program?

So let me get this straight... the install is a bulk kit? not a pre cut? what brand ppf is this shop using?

Mirror area can be tricky and pieced together if the mirrors are not removed.

Whos ever getting ppf should have the emblems removed. Having the T cut out will look like crap in the future with dirt showing the seams

when will you know the trade in value of the MX?

I have 50% on my Tesla Model X and i love it!

Finally picked up the X. Driving in low.
