With so many brands out there, it might be hard to decide which PPF is right for you. So, here's a demonstration where we test the durability of XPEL Ultimate Plus, 3M Scotchgard Pro, STEK DYNOshield, and Avery Supreme Defense - just a few top competitors in the market - to try to help you out. Here, I tested these brands on my old Tesla rear bumper, so you shouldn't have any doubts about me going too easy on it!

Hey!!! I loved the video; it helped us understand what options are available. But I have one more question. How does a satin finish PPF affect the different performance specs of each brand? do all the brands have a satin/matte alternative to there PPF? does this change affect hydrophobic qualities and or scratch-resistant qualities? We really like the matte look but would not go for it if it comes at the cost of certain performance drawbacks. In other words, does 3M have a matte equivalent that works the same as its gloss PPF?

@tesbros Жыл бұрын

Matte and gloss PPF both have the same qualities! Not all brands have the matte option, but most do nowadays (or will soon). 3M does have a matte option. Here you can find 3M's specs for their matte pro series: www.3m.com/3M/en_US/p/d/b5005067101/

@tesbros 2 жыл бұрын

Most of them are right about the same range between 1200-1500 per roll and that's for a 5 x 50 feet. What will cost a lot is the labor if you pay a shop to do it. But regarding material costs, it's a bit tricky because a lot of the rolls you can't just buy off Amazon. It's a bit of a complicated mess regarding distributors and etc. Most easily accessible for consumers would probably be like Hexis Bodyfence or Avery or 3M at a reasonable cost. Hope this helps! Didn't mean to over explain things lol.

ppf is really hard if not impossible to find in bulk let alone as precut kits in the EU (outside of installers) for some reason, so I am pretty much limited to 3M and XPEL options for pre-cut kits (imported). I am suprised that 3M has a hydrophobic property since I cant find it anywhere in the specs on their site. I have heard Xpel is more forgiving but 3M Pro seems to be the better product overall. Is the film with hydrophobic properties even worth it or is it better to just apply a ceramic coat afterwards to get an even better result and does it interfer with the self healing property in any way?

What is the cost in terms of value to most expensive on these 4 for customers? Also have you all serviced the new Foaker Oceans yet?

@mrgold3591 4 ай бұрын

Pricing depends on installer if you don't plan to do it yourself. The cost comes from color correction, chip repair, and labor of installing the PPF. Notice prices are regional and depend on how many installers in the area. Some installers use custom cut sheets and others cut from large roll and form to almost any size that needs protection. Find an installer that "tucks the seams" in cracks and around corners to help hide the film for an invisible look. It can cost $300-$700 for front end bra (headlights, side mirrors, front bumper), $1000-$1500 for entire front end (hood, bumper, fenders, headlights, side mirrors), and $3500-$4500 to do an entire sedan. PPF like Suntek and XPEL have a 10 year warranty.

I have the Xpel, do you know how long the self-healing is supposed to last? for any of them?

@tesbros Жыл бұрын

PPF lasts between 5 and 7 years depending on how well it's taken care of. It'll most likely have self-healing properties for the life of it, however, it might lose some of its effectiveness as time goes on. It's hard to give an exact answer as it all depends on how much the car is driven, car washing habits, and general wear and tear.

So which one is best? There is no hydro coating on the XPEL. Do you or can you add something to it? Thanks!

@tesbros 3 ай бұрын

All of these are great. I typically use Avery or STEK, but you can't go wrong with any of these brands. Yes, you can add ceramic coating to all PPF to make it hydrophobic. I even recommend adding it to factory coated PPF as it will last years longer than the factory coating. You can DIY or have it pro installed. We like Gyeon Mohs Evo if you're going the DIY route. It's more forgiving than other coatings so it's easier to work with: tesbros.com/products/gyeon-q-mohs-evo-basic-bundle

Can you list them in order of easy installation 1 being easier to 4 difficult.

@tesbros 2 жыл бұрын

This is difficult because it really depends on the installer but a good installer will be able to problem solve and figure out a way to make it efficient. However, we installers have preferences. I personally prefer STEK and I like working with it but i've worked with many other brands.

STEK is what I like to use personally. 3M is great but can be difficult to use. Their previous gen PPF wasn't as forgiving, a lot of glue lines or lift lines. But, they just released their new film which is supposed to address all that. I should have a sample to test soon and will most likely do part two of this series.

@@tesbros didn't know there was no tacky or skip solution in the package for this job. Where do I get that? Guess rest for job I have, 2 of these plastic scrapers. Last question, do I not try to round the ppf into the round edges of say lights and stuff? Remember Ryan from Kilowatts had his done self and it accumulated so much dirt right at the edge of ppf or vinyl cause he didn't remove the door trim and tucked it under? Will this be a problem, dirt magnet right at the edge of film? Thanks.

@tesbros 6 ай бұрын

Since you only got the bumper, you have to buy the installation tools separately. Sorry for the confusion! The installation tool kit is 15% off right now with code ELECTRICJOY15: tesbros.com/products/installation-tool-kit-model-y-diy-kit Good question but no it won't be a problem as long as the PPF isn't hanging over the edges. Make sure you install right inside the edge and not over. That's where the dirt catches.

Next time use a black panel it will show up better. Avery has been around back in 2007. Suntek & 3-M are the same. The newest is X Pel they use to use 3M before they had someone make there new film. You want to do a real test get a front fender in a dark color cover 12" wide and pass a sandblaster over the PPF and the not covered. This will impress anyone looking to buy a C.B.
