Which company did you end up using in OC? How are the seams? I was hoping not to spend $8k+ that the other guys want to charge. Did you add the coating on top of the Xpel?I paid $4k for Xpel Ultimate full wrap in Orange County. It's already saved me twice in the 4 months that I've had the car.
Sending you a note via PM.Which company did you end up using in OC? How are the seams? I was hoping not to spend $8k+ that the other guys want to charge. Did you add the coating on top of the Xpel?
That looks really good. Did you just search Xpel ultimate appliers in ur area? If you don't want to post publicly could you PM me the cost?
My Xpel Ultimate doesn't show any peel at all.
Just a dissenting opinion. I got Opticoat-Pro professionally applied two years ago, and I was never happy with it. It's not a wrap and offers no protection against rock chips, etc (not that I expected it to do that, I'm just saying you can't compare it to Xpel or other wraps).
It was supposed to make the car easier to wash and resist dirt, but it didn't do that at all. I still had to wash my car just as often, the same ways as normal. In addition, OCP gave the entire car a slight "tacky" feeling, not a smooth gloss feeling the original paint finish had.
But next week I'm getting my car dipped with Autoflex, which is a spray-on, peelable paint like Plastidip, but better, which is a much less expensive alternative to Xpel or vinyl wraps and allows you to select from thousands of color combinations, too. Autoflex can be buffed, sanded, waxed, etc and costs less than $2k. And if you change your mind, you can just peel it off in 20 minutes and do something different. Xpel is much more labor intensive to remove.

I'm planning to get a new Tesla in three years. No need to spend several G's when a far superior Tesla will be available by then. Then again, I don't use the bulky phone covers or cases that I see around.
How have you liked your coating so far? Any feedback on the whole experience of having it installed?
I guess I'd have to see it in person or high resolution photos to form a proper opinion.Maybe not compared to factory paint, but if you have had the paint corrected then you can see a distinct difference, but only up close. From 10 feet away, one wouldn't notice. Protection from rock chips far outweighs the slight orange peel, in my opinion.
You are correct. I live in Florida where this is a big problem. If you leave a wrap on more then 2 years in the sun it's very hard to remove. I have the front end of my Nsx done which is black and up close you see orange peel. It works great for rock chips but I would remove it after a few years to be safeView some of the unwrapping videos on YouTube after the car is several years old. They were enough to scare me away from wrapping my MS. It looks like the plastic fuses to your paint after awhile, and is nearly impossible to remove without destroying the paint. I'll live with carefully filling in the occasional paint chip that I may get.
New owner of a beautiful Obsidan Black 70D. Color aside, knowing the issues with a black car, I wonder at the decision to wrap our apply protective applicants to car. I've read the various threads on this and even got a quote myself. How many of you are doing this?
