Hello mate. That's a lovely video. In it you mentioned that the adhesive is pretty strong! What I wanted to know is if you were to remove the tape, will it also damage the paint work? I'm sceptic of buying these products because after a while due to wear and tear and I want to re apply anew strip I get worried it will damage the paintwork underneath. Would be helpful to know the answer and extremely grateful too! Thank you good Sir!
@AmplifyDIY3 жыл бұрын
The adhesive is really strong, but you can safely remove the film and re-apply a new piece as needed. You'll need a heat gun and some adhesive remover. Here's a great video that shows the process: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a9uqoJeF3dTHg3k.html Good luck!

Thanks for your most excellent vid! I also have a new truck and want protection for the sills. Your thorough explanations and patient demo should make this an easy install. Also considering this as a clear bra for the hood. Any thoughts, or do you also have a vid for that? :)
@AmplifyDIY3 жыл бұрын
For the hood, I actually prefer a bug deflector. I did a video about installing one on this truck here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aryBhpt835Ozf5s.html However, if you prefer to keep the front of your truck looking stock, then PPF on all the forward facing edges is a good idea. I'm working on finishing up a video that's the complete beginner's guide to caring for your car's exterior, where (among other things) I cover how to install PPF on everything that faces rock chips and bugs - so stay tuned for that. I will say that installing your own PPF on the front of a vehicle is more challenging than the door sills. If you do decide to DIY it, I recommend getting a pre-cut kit for your specific vehicle. I ordered mine from Install Proz, and have been very happy with the fit and quality: www.installproz.com/paint-protection-kits/

Hi Anthony - unfortunately, PPF does not adhere well to that plastic piece you mention. There are some products out there that can help restore the look of the original factory plastic - I'd bang around on ranger5g.com/ and see what people recommend.

nicely done .. do you know by any chance if the 3M film exists in gloss black also? if not, which ones would you recomend? tx
@AmplifyDIY3 жыл бұрын
Hi Gabriel - I don't think 3M makes any in a gloss black. Their films are typically all clear so that the body color of the car shows through. If you really want a black one, Xpel makes a great PPF in black, but it's not glossy - it has a slight texture (similar to the look of a bedliner). Here's an affiliate link to that, if you want to check it out: amzn.to/3ao5Bve - the nice thing about the texture is that it will hide any blemishes that develop in the film over time really well. If you are putting film on a black car though, I'd recommend just using the clear 3M film - it will *appear* gloss black once installed, as the film is completely transparent. Good luck!

Great question! It's pretty straightforward to remove: use hair dryer or heat gun to gently heat the film, then use a plastic scraper to get under one edge and start peeling up. It should peel right off once warmed, and any adhesive residue is easily cleaned off with goo-gone or rubbing alcohol. Thanks for watching!

@AmplifyDIY4 жыл бұрын
Theoretically, yes. But: You'll have to stretch the PPF a bunch to fit it around the curved surface of the helmet, and that's tricky to get right. Good luck!

I'm not sure ppf is really the best approach for helmets - as I mentioned, you'll have to stretch the ppf *a lot* in order to get it to conform to the shape of the helmet. Have you considered other solutions such as several layers of spray-on clear coat? They may still get scratched, but you can buff them out and re-clear as needed to keep them looking good. If you *really* want to try to apply ppf to a helmet, I'd suggest you check out some forums where others have tried: www.tintdude.com/forums/topic/58323-helmet-and-ppf/ Good luck!

Hi Suzuki - you don't need much soap in the water, and any dish soap should work well. The goal is just to make things slippery. I'd suggest maybe 1 drop of soap per 2 ounces of water - but honestly, it does not need to be all that precise. Good luck!

If after some time and wear and tear you would like to replace it how do you remove the old film?
@AmplifyDIY2 жыл бұрын
Hi Jerry - you can use a heat gun (or blow dryer on its highest setting) to warm up the old film. This will make it easier to remove. Don't get the film too hot - warm to the touch about like a hot bath is where you want it. Once you peel off the film, if there is any adhesive left over it comes off easily with Goo Gone. Then just wash the area off with soapy water, rinse, dry, and it's ready for new film to be installed. Good luck!

@AmplifyDIY3 жыл бұрын
Hi Veronica - yes, you can install protection film like this over chrome, but that won't clean up the existing scratches. If your existing sills are already scratched up, there is not a lot you can do short of polishing and possibly re-chroming them. Probably more cost-effective to replace them with new chrome sill protectors, and install protection film over the new ones before they get scratched up. Good luck!
