For those of you in the Cincinnati area, I highly recommend Clear Bra Ohio for your PPF and Ceramic Coating. Just got my Model Y back and was very impressed with the quality of install. Keith (Owner) has been doing PPF for over 20 years and is a pro. I got a full frontal PPF (Kit C - Full Hood, Full Fenders, Mirrors, and Bumper) with Suntek Ultra and full car and also got the entire car coated with GTechNiq Crystal Serum Ultra (9 year) ceramic. Just picked it up today and it looks fantastic! Reach out to Keith and he will take care of you!View attachment 534932
I did full front PPF with ceramic coating for the entire car.The highest number of votes went to PPF plus Ceramic Coating. I'm wondering if most were doing full body PPF or partial with ceramic and what extra value ceramic gives if if is used to cover PPF?
Im looking to get just my partial front with PPF and then ceramic coat the whole body.
Im curious what people with quoted for ceramic coating + Paint correction
It's not just highway and construction. Paint damage can and will happen anywhere anytime while driving. PPF is must for anyone who cares about their paint - especially with subpar Tesla paint quality.I’ve been back and forth with doing the whole car or just full front. I commute to work so a lot of highway and construction in the highway. Other thing is door dings with the weak paint and the amount of videos I’ve seen with folks car getting keyed
User PagodaY has scouted out Paint Protection Film — Always Clean Detailing Services in Fairlawn, NJ. They charge about $5k for a full wrap with Suntek ($6k for hand-cut), but it looks like they also offer Xpel. I'm looking into an Xpel shop in Darien, CT, Expert Paint Protection Film Installation — Darien Detail.
I'll get some better pics later when the weather is nice but thought I'd share mine today, just had Suntek Ultra installed (Defense was used up front) on the whole car. Have to say I'm very impressed with this film, super clear and tons of shine, no orange peel, plus it has a hydrophobic top layer. Because of the hydrophobic properties already in the film I opted not to have a ceramic coat applied. Already spent enough also had the windows tinted, 30 up front 70 in the back.

Hi Steve, have you looked into the Darien shop further? I'm picking up my Model Y next week and will have to see about getting the PPF wrap.
I actually just spoke with the owner of Darien Detail yesterday to figure out what to do with my MY I am picking up next Friday. Very knowleadgable, pleasant gentleman with no feeling of pressure at all. I looked through his shop's reviews/IG page and saw some very nice work done (including before/after and videos... even of a $7million+ Ferrari GTO ). He sent me an online estimate in ala carte form so I can pick and choose services and see what my cost will be. He has done many Teslas and a few MY's already.
I plan on getting a full Xpel PPF done (about $6k) - currently deciding whether to go with a ceramic coat using CQuartz Finest (includes meticulate paint repair/polish) for and extra $2k or just regular CQuartz professional (includes enhancing polish) for $1k. Difference being the extra labor put into the paint before application. If anyone can chime in on the benefits of one vs the other, please do.
As a bonus, they will pick up my car in a covered trailer at my house, transport it to the shop (about 45 min), and return it at no extra cost.
That's a good deal I think, Tesla paint has imperfections, if your looking for the best application of the PPF should probably get the best paint repair/polish. But really depends on if you get lucky or not in the Tesla paint lottery. I would check it out first once you get the car then device. My paint was actually really good for a Tesla said my installer, only a few spots that really would have required some fixing, super minor though, talking a little nib here or there.
Looks great. Who did the work for you?View attachment 546452 Here is my Y.... Just had xpel PPF on the front end and Xpel fusion plus ceramic on the entire car.. did not do the glass..
Very pleased....
