paint protection film

Does anyone have good experience with a particular paint protection film on a pearl white vehicle? I like the idea of the film for protection but I’m concerned about any yellowing due to UV exposure. I’ve searched for information on this and other forums but most results are from a couple...

I bought a PPF pre-cut kit for the Model 3, but changed my mind on doing the work myself and now I'm stuck with this kit I won't use and can't return. I'd rather not have to ship it so I'm asking here to see if anyone in Dallas, TX would be interested in buying it off me. I'll be able to bring...

Hello NoVA peers, I'm interested in getting a PPF (maybe with ceramic) on my model 3 when I take delivery, if the price is right. The cost is a big factor, both for myself, and to convince my spouse. Does anyone in the NoVa area know of a reliable place which has good rates? Alternatively...

Hello All, I am a new owner of a Tesla model X. I have seen quite a few videos on youtube about ceramic coatings and clear bra's for the front of the car. I guess my question is, is this worth the cost? Is the Tesla paint susceptible to damage more so than other car paints? I live in the...

We put together this instructional video for all Tesla X owners thinking of transforming their paint job. In this video we did a black paint job and an obsidian black. I think the dark colored cars take on a unique look, and certainly different rims and a black out treatment of the chrome adds...

I’m really on the fence on getting paint protection for my Model 3. On the one hand I want the car to stay nice and look good. I’m worried about that front no-grill area being a rock magnet. On the other hand, it’s a depreciating asset that I don’t want to sink any more money into than I have...

We had a ton of fun with this visit over the summer and finally got around to making a video that shows off some of the process of our full-monty service. I hope you all find it as enjoyable to watch as it was for us to do! Join us on our journey to take a new Tesla Model X 100D from being...

My history with "clear bras" goes back 20 years to when I acquired a Cosmos Black BMW that was notorious for getting rock chips. At the time I purchased a pre-cut kit from Invinca-shield that consisted of 3M material. I had to teach myself to install the kit and thankfully I had a lot of...

I have had my Model S 75 exactly one year now. It is pearl white and I had an Xpel bra applied to the front end and mirrors. The corporate Xpel shop at 220 Barron Springs Rd, Houston, TX 77090 did the work for under $1000.00 I must admit that their price was not cheap but neither was my Tesla...

Our customer purchased a Tesla Model X and wanted to protect his investment. Usually when we hear this, we recommend a New Car Prep and full front end XPEL Ultimate coverage. This particular customer wanted to go above and beyond that! The first thing we did when the vehicle arrived at our...

3 years ago we got a call from a potential client inquiring about some protective services on a P85 that was scheduled to arrive in the following month. What followed was a few weeks of communication ironing out what exact services were going to be the best fit for these new Tesla Model S P85...

Just got quoted $10k for a well known detail shop here in Seattle/Bellevue for a full body STek wrap. They say you get what you pay for but this is the highest I've yet seen on these forums by quite a bit. Is Stek really going for that much? Fair price for a reputable installer? I think that's...

I'm trying to get an idea if I should get PPF installed or not.

Hello DFW TMC folks, I am a new Tesla Model S owner. Looking for suggestions, whether to go for a Opticoat or XPEL on my car ? Any recommended places around to get either Opticoat or XPEL ? How much did it cost ? Thanks

My S90D should arrive in July and I was looking for recommendations in the Houston area for paint protection film and ceramic coating. Had a previous new vehicle coated with Modesta at Vive and was happy with the results. For the Tesla, I was thinking about Expel or Clear Guard Nano, but have...

At OCDetail we have already worked on 30 Model X's! Were known for "bringing the shine" when it comes to paint corrections, protective coating applications, and installing paint protection film. I know we've personally wrapped 6 Model X's front to back with Xpel ultimate. This one though was...

It seems like several receivers of X's have opted to wrap their cars in numerous aftermarket paint/finish protectors while others say it is totally unnecessary. A couple of us future owners wonder how many current owners have wrapped their MX or MS cars. Why, or why not? I have also read stuff...

I saw a white S85 this morning in a parking lot and their "clear bra" was turning yellow. I ordered a black MS, called a couple of installers yesterday asked one guy what he thought was better and he said he would NOT put Xpel on the super high end cars he does (Bugatti etc). So I'd like to...

What does it mean when clear bra can 'self-heal'? In the years since self-healing paint protection film was released there has been some level of confusion as to what self-healing technology really is. Some think self-healing means that any defects that could occur to the film will be repaired...

I will be receiving my new 70D in late August. I would like recommendations for detailers in Central Ohio that can apply a paint protection film on the front bumper, hood, fenders, and mirrors (basically the front of the car) as well as the rear bumper. I would then like to have paint coating...

Here are some pics of a Model S P85D new car protection job we just did and couldn't help but share. This customer reached out to us about a month before taking delivery of the vehicle straight from the factory. He wanted to get his paint as perfect as possible, with the maximum gloss and...

Let me begin by apologizing that there are no outside or sunlight shots. The schedule to have the car ready and when it was picked up created a poor opportunity to photograph our work. At any rate, it looks great even when shot at night in the shop! This Tesla Model S got a full body clear bra...
