Vancouverites looking into Ceramic or Xpel

[rainforest]

My model 3 won't be ready until 2-4 months later. But I am very interested in doing the XPEL wrap + ceramic coating. If you guys have some pictures to show, please post them! Love to see how the work looks.

It's invisible. You won't see it in a picture.

I know. But you should be able to see the shininess

Does anyone know if the PPF installers offers paint correction before installing the film?

PH Solar doesn't, but to be honest, I don't think it is really necessary unless there is a bad defect. As well, PPF hides most scratches anyway.

I'm guessing a proper paint correction will also add $500-$1000 to the cost of the already expensive PPF. Correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm plan on getting Xpel installed and do the ceramic coat myself so I'm looking at what my options are. It would be easier if the shop did the paint correction and did the Xpel install first and I can take over with the ceramic coat.

Yes....Glossworks in Coquitlam does paint correction as well as the XPEL and ceramic coating...

Hooked On Detailing did for my X.

Had my red 3 done by Terence at Glossworks in Coquitlam. Full Xpel wrap. A bit more than PH solar but Terence did a GREAT job.
Would highly recommend. Didn't get ceramic on top as I opted to do a full wrap and that pushed past my budget already!

How do you get them to respond? I've left two messages and an email and they won't answer me. Are they still in business?

Give PH Solar a call. They are very good.

Just realized this is a west coast thread. I’m talking to their east coast namesake. Sorry.

Yeah I was a little confused when you were citing some place on the other side of the country lol

How much more was the full vs just the front(al). I was considering this....Also how long did it take him to complete?

Thanks!

Took 2 and a half days. About $3000 more for total car versus full front wrap

Just dropped off my car to Ronnie at PH Solar to get a full frontal wrapped. Will also get the rear done once Tesla repaints my bumper. Ronnie has wrapped 4 of my family's car and I can say he does a fantastic job! Would highly recommend him to anyone looking to have any of their vehicles done.

Totally agree about Ronnie. Great guy!

I ordered white too. Did you have bumper colour mismatch? The colour seems fine in the photo.

What does paint correction do actually?
