DYI Rear Fender PPF - Scotchguard

[my8888]

I was thinking of buying the 3M Scotchguard and doing the back fender myself rather than getting the overly priced tesla one. Similar to what is being done in this video.

Has anyone tried scotchguard ppf or DYI fender paint protection?

Any insights or experience would be appreciated.

Pretty easy to do. Soapy water spray and squeegee. Amazon has 6" wide ppf film rolls including xpel. I bough some to install behind the rear wheels but I'm not sure if it makes that much difference there. I installed pre-cut ppf at the 4 doors but they didn't have anything for the rear bumper at the time. I think they have pre-cuts of every panel available now.

I also put a piece here and it came in handy a few times already.

I’ll try it a try. Seems pretty simple. I also have mud flaps which I plan to install.

I am doing the entire front with a highly rated 3M Scotchguard Pro precut kit for $340.
Xxxx custom installer, wanted $3000. I debadge and then rebabdge with nice matte black one off
Etsy.

I chickened out and ordered the 3M gel, this way using a pump sprayer (Hozelock Polyspray 2) and
a 24/8oz H2O/70%ETOH mixture for tacking I will do better than with J&J soap and water when I
did my headlights earlier.

I just finished a full front on my model y this morning. I just used baby soap and water, and the tack solution was 91% rubbing alcohol and water (30% alcohol and 70% water). Turned out good, couple of places with small hairs. One spot near the repeater came out meh but I can clean it up. Lots of small bubbles but a needle took care of most and the sun will take care of the rest.
