FYI, I'm in WA and took my M3 for a scratch fix today and saw two MY's. Surprised how much bigger they seem than the M3. What I did notice was both of them looked pretty rough. Saw lots of scratches and stuff being fixed (assuming before going to custmer?). I'd keep an eye out during delivery!

Paint Protection Film (PPF) & Ceramic Coating
- Thread starter bchan911
- Start date
Hey, where in GA do you live? I'm in Marietta. Can you state the name of that local business and location? Sounds like a great deal.
Applying a ceramic coating underneath PPF would not provide much benefit if any. Ceramic coatings have a high surface tension and therefore make things want to stick on their surface less. A ceramic should be applied on top of PPF if you're looking for the UV protection, hydro-phobics, and stain resistance. Ceramic underneath PPF would just make a PPF install harder and more likely to lift on complex areas.
I will get just the ppf. My installer sent me this video link to show comparison between clearguard alpha, suntek, and xpel. I am expecting the Y in a month or so, so this is the first thing I am going to do:

just got my MY performance back today!!
- paint correction (owner said my paint job was better than other Teslas, but not sure if that's a GREAT thing lol)
- XPEL ultimate on bumpers, headlights, mirrors, etc.
- XPEL tint on windshield, windows, top pano glass
- ceramic coating on any other exposed parts
If I'm going to do tinting I'll get a high quality (for infrared rejection) 70 or 80% just on the front windows. Might do the windshield as well if it is not crazily expensive.

I would recommend the front paint protection (clear bra) on the M3. My wife has had her M3 for about 18 months and after 26K miles of freeway driving, there are some pitting and chips on that flat front nose. I just got my M3 in December and put on a partial paint protection (bumper and partial fenders) and it looks seamless. Unless you inspected it very closely, you would never know it was there.

I'm doing front Llumar PPL (3M) on front and Ceramic Pro all over next week. Debating on caliper paint. I've read all the posts and also went and got a consultation. I think it's pretty person dependent if it's needed and you have the money. It's not cheap. I plan to decide on tint when it gets hot (albeit that's the cheapest part)
Its been awhile since I have done tint but the quotes I am getting these days are insane as well. 200 dollars for 2 windows! I used to do the whole car with ceramic tint for just a little more then that...

Model Y - Stealth Performance w/ Inductions
- Feynlab Heal Lite Ceramic Coating
- XPEL Ultimate Plus (Bumper, Mirrors, Headlights)
- XPEL Prime XR 30 (Front Windows)
Just got mine wrapped up this week 
Anyways, Xpel Ultimate on the full front, a-pillars, mirrors and on rear bumper. Ceramic coated the rims and calipers. They also did the interior piano black trim, including the window controls and door handle areas.
It then went over to the window tint guy and they did 70 Suntek windshield and then 15 front/50 rear of Llumar IRX. I did not do the roof yet as I wanted to see how they hold up with tint. If it's not an issue after the summer then it will get some type of tint.
