Well, I'd like to see you try to make a claim on that!
I have kept my cars for 13 to 14 years and never needed PPF. regular washing and polishing only. The cars have maintained their shine albeit a few scratches and chips.Wouldn't a new repaint of the car be cheaper than PPF, should the need arise?
I bought a Snow cannon which attaches to the Kacher for a contactless wash. Easy Peezy.... Dry the car using a battery powered leaf blower. Too easy....
For the MYP I also bought a bottle of Turtle Wax Ceramic Coating spray and will be doing my own Ceramic coating. Total cost about $150 which includes ceramic coating, Auto Glym snow foam, wash mitts, microfibre towels and foam cannon. I already had the karcher and the leaf blower.

I never had PPF and I thought PPF would decrease the frequent of washing...or unlikely becoming too dirty? I don't know but I hope someone with experience could gimme a solid answer for this. $7000 is kind of too much
Not really with the PPF. Ceramic coated - yes. Huge difference. It’s a lot smoother and pressure washing will remove 99% of the dirt.
I’m an engineer who also used to work in the motor industry and I can assure you that there is no greater example of snake oil in the modern world than ceramic paint protection, it’s absolutely pointless.Given the real estate the front of a MY covers I am considering PPF for front only ( just like putting on a). I think some providers offer front end only. I feel ceramic coating is worthy given grizzlybears
comments and industry knowledge. Also need to consider the harsh Aussie
compared to MY’s in UK for example. Having lived in UK I am prepared to pay a bit extra for ‘sun screen’ to protect our investments in Oz. Ceramic coating seems to be a relatively inexpensive and reasonable starting point.
PPF sounds great but you’d want to get a hell of a lot of stone chips to cover your 7 grand.

hey melbourne peeps, just got a quote from allianz for $190/mth for MYP, with windscreen+loan car+choice of repairer, I'm in Doncaster, does it seem fair for melbourne folks?
Wow.... I could pull this statement to shreds but in the spirit of this forum you are welcome to post your opinion!
Try Westpac, they were cheapest for me. Underwritten by Allianz
Allianz quoted me $4600 a year so it’s better than that
ended up with Shannon’s for $2070 p/aIm Surrey hills melb and that good deal. That was the best deal i got for my myp

From WuWa:
Apparently the Shanghai Gigafactory pumped out 51,800 Model Ys.
Total of 74,402 vehicles including Model 3s and 40,479 of those were exported
Those are some mind-bending numbers.
Now we just need more ships and better efficiency in our ports to receive those cars and we’re good. Am I asking for too much?

More than welcome to, I’d be happy to be corrected but I’m yet to see any evidence to the contrary. From a material’s perspective the premise of it doesn’t even make sense.
It would be interesting to hear both sides of a story when making a decision on a product or service - especially when people on this forum are making significant investments in their Teslas. Appreciate arguments for and against - any science based evidence would be helpful for a lot of members.
There’s a really good video on YouTube by John Cadogan that covers the topic.
Does this mean the backlog MYP orders are being cleared a fair bit faster than RWD? I ordered my RWD on 6 Oct and no VIN as yet

thanks mate! yeah I did, it was roughly the same for my sitro,s I went ahead with Allianz, same same
I think there has been a lot of cancellations in the MYP space so later orders are getting a vehicle much sooner.
