PPF in Sydney

[moadel82]

Hi fellas, I live in Sydney Australia and made my first Model Y order yesterday and expecting delivery between Feb-May. The first thing I want to do is to PPF the car (interior/exterior) and I wanted to ask for recommendations for PPF providers in Sydney.

 

[moadel82]

G'day fellas, I ordered Model Y and ETA is Feb-May. From what I am hearing it seems that PPF for interior (mine will be white) and exterior (either half or full) is recommended for peach of mind (happy to be corrected if my conclusion is incorrect). Can someone recommend PPF vendors in Sydney? Appreciate the help.

Not heard of PPF on interior surfaces before. Where exactly are you planning?

 

[moadel82]

i probably got this wrong. I heard about some sort of protection/coating for the white interior to help with the cleaning. Could that be a ceramic coating?

When I did the tint at Tint a Car Alexandria, they said they don’t do PPF themselves but had contacts to get it done. Asked for three quotes, front bumper only, front high impact zones and full PPF. They mentioned they can include interior PPF if I went with the full option.

However, since they don’t it themselves, I would have to leave the car with them overnight, and an additional day for full option. Decided not to, and only did the tint. It was my first day accepting the car after all.

I used ProtektAuto in Clyde for the new car detailing, front PPF protection and ceramic coating. I have returned on a regular basis for PPF repairs and ceramic coating top ups but haven’t been there during Covid. I intend to get some PPF repairs done this year. Their shop is walking distance from the station which makes it easy to drop the car off and collect it later.

Good PPF is a must if you’re going this route. Here’s mine. Satin white Y and pink blush 3P.

We go to Protekt as well. Just wondering what kind of regular PPF repairs are you going back for?

How much did you pay for the tint?

Had a wing mirror re done when a rock hit it and damaged the PPF but mercifully not the paint. This time I will get the front bumper done when I rubbed past a flower pot in a car park and the bonnet PPF replaced from accumulation of stone chips Over 8 years.

Is that PPF or a wrap? My understanding is that they are different products.

PPF. comes in colours now. Brand is flexishield, lots of USA teslas wear them.

 

[PC__LoadLetter]

From a damage perspective, I'd only suggest putting PPF around the bottom of the front bumper.

From a cleaning perspective, my rear bumper & boot never stay clean for long.

But the car works perfectly and my uber riders don't care much. I run it through a $10 car wash once or twice a week. Meh.

How much did you pay for the tint?

$850 for ceramic tint to all windows except the roof (clear to front windscreen and privacy glass).

 

[Maximillan]

$495 for ceramic tint to all the side and rear windows except the roof (clear to privacy glass) at Tint Haus in Thornleigh.

So the rear window is up to where on the glass? Can you take a picture at some point and post it?I'm tossing up whether to get the rear glass done

 

[pongie]

Rear window is the smaller view when looking back. It is separate panel to the glass roof

Can’t remember if the roof was an extra $400 or $600. I didn’t get it done since I was going to get the full shade anyway.
