PPF and Ceramic Protection in Melbourne

[YMML]

Hi everyone,

Patiently waiting for my X to arrive and I am looking into quotes for paint protection film +/- ceramic coating in the Melbourne area.

I was wondering if anyone had good (or bad) experiences they could share. I have asked at the Tesla Service Centre in Melbourne but drew a blank.

Thanks in advance for any insights you can provide.

Cheers,

Chris

Can't really comment on PPF other than you see the joins if not done properly, and if doing ceramic coating it goes on after the PPF.
If you want a good job at a great price with ceramic coating (and paint correction) get a quote from VIP Car Care in Moorabbin.

Just to clarify, you can do ceramic coating without PPF. Your post implies you need PPF first.

Certainly. Must be my ambiguous thought processes.

I had my p85d by affinese, they did (not sure if any more) TOCA club discounts. I did a half wrap and full ceramic

Thinking of getting S-TEK PPF. Seems to be better than xpel. But who knows. Interesting video here. Anyone got any comments on whether this is an intelligent thing to do?

I did Ceramic Coating (they do paint correction) + side windows tint + 3M protector on door edges (for when kids open the doors into objects) + carpet protection at VIP Car Care Moorabbin, and very happy with them.

They told me what would/wouldn't work well ahead of time (eg. door edge protector on the top part of the rear doors is tricky due to the sharp curve - I decided to cover that portion anyway)

About a year ago Affinesse did Opticoat on my 75D and a pre-sale detail on my ICE car before I put it up on CarSales, resulting in a successful above market average sale.

Hi Hyena,

Im based in Melbourne also taking deliver of a Performance 3 for my wife in a few weeks - I am keen to protect the paint - are you still happy with the Mr Detail ceramic coat since your post above in Oct last year?

Thank you

More details in this thread... for my M3 I went with PPF for the front half and doors.

It's a lot more expensive but if it fits the budget I highly recommend PPF for proper paint protection.

Otherwise yes go with ceramic coating. Offers some paint protection and makes the paintwork a lot easier to clean and maintain.

How much did that all come out to, and how long did they take?
