They can't go through the PPF (unless they were there before) but PPF does water spot same or worse than paint

@@iglcoatingsauthat is great news- you’re saving me from a panic attack lol. I just got PPF about a month ago, and my car was left in front of a house for three days (I was on vacay), with sprinklers on and off for three days in very very hot weather with high UVs. The hood got a massive amount of water spots. I was super worried it got through the PPF. So safe to say it did not right? Worst comes to worst, I can have them replace my PPF and all will be well? P.S. so far I tried 3d cutting compound finish, can’t tell if it worked or not. Pretty sure that eliminated my ceramic coating as well?

Also is it worth trying the IGL now before I replace PPF?

@Mamba310 The paint is certainly safe underneath!

@@Mamba310 you can certainly try, much cheaper than replacing

Hi mate You raise a valid point. The only cons to a matte conversion is some areas like door jambs and door handles may not be able to be wrapped. Other than that the only other con is the additional cost. All other matters are no different to any glossy ppf such as stretch marks, debris and dust etc... which is primarily relating to the skill of the installer rather than the film itself

@@iglcoatingsau oh ok gotcha. thanks for the reply. so in actuality you DID mention the cons in your video haha, my bad. thanks again!

@SickSickCix My pleasure mate

Thank you for the kind words and feedback

Thank you

Peroxide + vinegar + salt

My personal opinion is that once the microfiber has been used to clean ceramic coatings I don't recommend using it again as it will not have the same absorption and may lead to scratching on soft paint. I know that some people soak the microfibers immediately in hot water and multi-purpose cleaner before putting them in the washing machine. The glass plus pad Can be washed with water

@@iglcoatingsau got it thank you!

Hi, there is already an IGL local distributor in the UK! Please feel free to visit www.iglcoatingsuk.com/

Hi mate, it is a completely different chemical and type of product compared to petroleum based products in every way shape and form, a quick google search will net you all the answers be it on youtube video or published material. This is a 2 pack clear coat (like a paint) but if you really want the full answers link onto this link and join the training course, it will cover every detail and have all the documentation for you to download and read including the astm test results, how to apply and validations edu.iglcoatings.com/courses/igl-coatings-online-coatings-course/lectures/51003269 In terms of prep work you coat the surface that is free from corrosion or contamination so really depends on the car itself so my new 79 needed some surface rust brushed off and cleaned up. As the product is designed for adhesion directly to metal it is also advisable to lightly scuff up any painted surfaces for better mechanical adhesion but my car was just sprayed straight on. Older cars might need some dry ice blasting or sand blasting etc..

Hi mate they are 33s

@@iglcoatingsau thks, what tyres are they

@markh6676 falken wildpeak

Very true

Video for that incoming!

Its a factory Nismo race car. Its not a body kit!

@@iglcoatingsau ok thank you

I think it might be the way to go

Great news is they aren't giving them away for free so you don't have to own one if you don't like it

That's the plan!

Oh, nevermind, doesn't come in small enough quantities.

Have a look at IGL eclipse. It is not publicly available but it does offer similar benefits just Not as much for corrosion resistance (500 salt spray hours vs 6000)

It can do both. This was applied to the brand new underbody of the 79 LandCruiser but can be mixed with pigment and applied as stand alone paint coating

Thanks, it's a kranzle pressure washer

Great 4x4 instructor and driver!

Big time

Hi mate welcome to the channel! I honestly would think there should be a class action lawsuit against Toyota because the vehicle is most certainly not fit for what it's being advertised to do. I was underneath it last night installing diff breathers and the amount of rust from brand new is crazy. Even though it is all coated now It looks like it's been rusting for a few years only driven 500km and 1 week old

very keen to know what it is in microns if you have ever checked or visited a detailer with a good quality paint thickness gauge

I wouldn't be surprised hitting it with a shovel in the 90s was part of Toyota's quality control protocols!

@@iglcoatingsau I think it actually damaged the chinese made shovel more than the lux 😂

I wont be surprised if all manufacturers have lost their pride and just purely look at doing the bare minimum now to make maximum profit. in saying this, the car is sold at a huge premium that warrants "average" not "well below average" paint thickness

the standard industry practice for respray is to look at the out of ordinary thickness. Because most cars are now sprayed by robots the paint thickness is fairly consistent (within lets say 20-30 microns) but if there is a panel with a very high variance (more or less) you can assume something has been done to that panel. We do the same thing before carrying out paint correction on a car to try and identify possible different paint but the ultimate way to investigate will be to use a posimeter gauge that uses ultrasound to actually see the various layers not just overall thickness

Sadly I have to agree. For the premium they charge for this car taking everything away that it doesn't have any luxuries or modern items that we can attribute to reliability and simplicity they should at least put some paint on it.

That would be amazing if you can get it in writing. It is nowhere near that

I think you’ll find that’s a maximum, Toyota won’t warrant thicker paint because it’s indicative of a respray

Good point, I have noticed that

That is very interesting mate glad to hear they're doing it on the warranty

Hi Mark no problem at all mate if I can get access to another colour I'll be more than happy to check All it takes a few seconds

Thank you, you can mask up but not really going to make much difference as any overspray is fine and not visible

probably stone chips due to it being a used vehicle

no idea what you mean

goes in cycles, manufacturers go gloss colour coded then back to rough plastic textured plastic. I think prevention is better than cure. always mask up when polishing or waxing

sounds like the story of my life

hes a great guy thats for sure!

Thanks boys hope you are well!

Hi mate, you need to peel off the matte ppf and reapply glossy ppf
