    Glass Canopy: To Tint or Not to Tint

    Maybe 10 years ago 3M had the best window tint but right now, its the opposite. There are many many different window film manufacturers that offer a better product.

    RESOLVED Tinting door glass warranty? Yes!

    That's absolutely NOT caused by window tinting. Any professional shop doesn't go anywhere near that. After conversing with several colleges, my own staff and several multi-decade tinters - none of them agree this is caused by anything a tinter did. Using the case of "water damage" isn't at all...

    Dirt Accumulation on Rear Bumper Lip

    The problem is that there is no weather gasketing closer to the lip combined with the gap for the trunk being so big. Not much you can really do about it. Also remember that air swirls down the back side of your vehicle while driving (just the nature of aero and physics), so it will accumulate...

    Confused - PPF + Ceramic or Ceramic Only

    As a shop owner - this gives me the warm fuzzy feeling on the inside.

    Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Touring

    Stek hasn't made dynoFlex for over a year. I would question as to wether or not they are actually installing that or something from ClearShield, GeoShield or Madico. Windshield Protection Film does work but its not for cars that see a ton of daily driver usage. They have some orange peel and can...

    Ordering and Delivery: Lucid Air Touring

    Thanks for the tag! Hopefully this helps. I think that you vastly underestimate the level of difficulty installing PPF. Installing paint protection film, even in kit form, is extremely difficult. The use of a plotter is also standard practice, as doing bulk installs often requires disassembly...

    To ppf, or not to ppf. This is the question.

    Yeah, PPF doesn't suck. That shop that did that install sucks that's for certain. The shop you choose directly affects the outcome of your PPF and how it looks over time. In addition, you also need to be willing to accept that no PPF installation will ever be 100% perfect. EVER. If you can't...

    Stealth

    Matte paint is extremely expensive to do correctly. It's also impossible to just repaint one panel. Its an extremely cost-heavy task for a new auto manufacturer.

    Hydrophobic coating for windshield?

    Not necessarily the direction as much as it is ceramic coating the blades too. You also need to use a specific Glass coating. (We use Ceramic Pro Glass)

    Lucid Air Touring Full Body MATTE PPF - BLACK @ Ceramic Pro Pottstown Philadelphia, Collegeville, Pottstown, West Chester, Chester Springs, NJ, PA, NY

    Not a big deal if the metal roof isn't in the software, it will be later on and even then if it isn't, doing it bulk isn't a big deal. I would probably prefer it anyway to hide seams and edges. send me a DM and we can work out details. we are starting to book into March now.

    Preparing for PPF, ceramics, etc...

    Paint Protection Film, even ones that are "ceramic coated" do not replace traditional coatings. The top coat is infused with ceramic particles to add rigidity and boost gloss. They do not add any slickness. Film manufacturers use that as a marketing gimmick. They all do it. Simply put - if...

    Preparing for PPF, ceramics, etc...

    Most "spray" coatings are simply low-quality products and do not hold up. If you wanted a "spray coating" you could do Gyeon CanCoat or Gtechniq C2V3 but these only have a lifespan of about 6 months. You could get a 2-3 coating for $800-$1000 somewhere from a professional shop.

    Lucid Air Touring Full Body MATTE PPF - BLACK @ Ceramic Pro Pottstown Philadelphia, Collegeville, Pottstown, West Chester, Chester Springs, NJ, PA, NY

    I would imagine roughly 3 days. 2 days of work and 1 day for the car to dry out and set up. Feel free to send me a DM and I can send you a quote.

    PPF Advice Please

    We install PPF in a single piece on these hoods constantly. It can be done with no problem, but the shop needs to be willing to do it and be comfortable with stretching the film. Its possible. Very possible. Find another shop.
