Agree and agree with all your tips. For the cost factor, PPF is a bit expensive as some say they can repaint for less. Problem with that logic is matching paint colors over time is a larger headache. And for those nonbelievers PPF is great as I run it on both my vehicles.

I am on the fence with clear (gloss) vs steatlh (satin). I love how great gloss looks but it reflects a lot of light and the edges are not as noticeable. I am going to add a body kit, and I feel the stealth will reveal the lines better and show up better.

Hey Jason, saw that you put on CSU over the PPF. Will this affect the self-healing properties of the PPF?

@thegarebear4878 5 ай бұрын

Just saw this comment now, but yes it 100% will. CSU is for paint only, it isn’t a flexible coating at all once applied. When applied onto ppf it hardens and makes it so the ppf isn’t nearly as flexible making it so that once you get scratches it can’t self heal anymore, I would recommend using Halo since it’s specifically marketed for vinyl and ppf, was watching this video and noticed he put CSU on the ppf and I immediately went to the comments to see if anyone else noticed

@gabrolaz 3 жыл бұрын

Factory paint is baked and will have cured and gassed out by the time it has left the assembly line. That is particularly true for supercars that are hand-built and spend even more time on the assembly line compared to mass produced cars. So it should 100% safe to PPF a car as soon as it is delivered.

Can a PPF wrapped car handle an auto car wash? I know PPF isn’t a force field, but curious to know if it gets scratched up by brushes or if those scratches will “self heal”. I’m thinking that if it can’t handle a car wash then I worry that it can’t hold up to regular environmental conditions and road debris that are encountered during normal driving.
