Hello ALL!! My name is Mario Culpepper. Owner of Ironclad Paint Protection & Coatings. I made a post for you all showing expectations and differences in materials etc. I have personally installed films such as Suntek, KAVACA, LLumar, XPEL, STEK, Premium Shield, Prestige film technologies, &...

Hello! Mario here with Ironclad Paint Protection & Coatings Not speaking from a business perspective but from someone that actually uses the products on his own vehicle. My shop uses a brand called GTECHNIQ with any interior coatings there are 3 materials that are involved. 1) Leathers 2)...

That is what the end result should look like with the installations. Everything will never fully be wrapped but its important to have the edges very close so you dont have ppf issues on the edges OP had

yup just saw it

Personally, some of those edges could have been done a little better. However, when it comes to things like the rear bumper you should not have the line tucked all the way in. Reason being is that if you squeeze the 2 films together it will create friction and the adhesive will pull...

Not quite stealth but its matte dark grey vinyl. We have a Zenith Red here at the shop if you'd like i can do a sample piece on it so you can see it Not quite stealth

Basically when it comes to window coatings a few things must be done. 1) When we apply a ceramic coating on the windows, we actually use a polish specifically designed for windows. Use that with a polisher and it helps remove any additional contaminants in addition to clay bar etc. 2)...

Hello!! that's great that you are giving it a shot. Something I will say is that what you are getting is window chatter. That is from the final application not going the proper direction and/or using a ceramic coating that's not for the windows. When we do ceramic coatings on our customer's...

If you have some pictures, I can give you some insight

To assist you as a business owner that does ppf ill chime in. just like @bobofat mentioned every shop is different To answer your first question about the mirrors So, when paint protection film is installed, there is a certain amount of risk assessment we take as installers. there is a point...

I got nothing for that hahahah!!! That’s crazy cool

We do very well with it. There is definitely a point where I say ok the 200 rock chips is not worth what I would charge a customer hourly so it would be best to to have it repainted

100% correct! Wouldn’t advise putting ppf over ceramic coating. Paint correction is truly the only way to remove the coatings

Excited to see you tomorrow pjdcorp!

We have a way to remove the top layer of ceramic coating safely without damaging the film. Otherwise it won’t stick. Applies for all films such as Suntek reaction, llumar valor, xpel fusion, stek dynoshield and more.

The official answer is that yes it’s totally fine. We do it often on our customers cars. It’s not without its risks. Chances are nothing will happen but there is a small chance that when the vinyl is installed that the adhesive can leave an impression of the vinyl in the ppf when it gets...

Let me see what I can do for you! After xmas emails and texting is mayhem in the morning Haha. I'll see if my system can do specifics like Accurate offsets etc. for wheels. There are other options too. for instance, many times we can call wheel manufacturers such as HRE wheels, Vossen etc. and...

Very True! some vehicle like the Panamera have special mounts etc. However fortunately the lucid has a folding clip mount that holds anything like a roof rack or something thats on the current AIR. Leads me to believe that its purely aesthetic for their decision to make that all black. What i...

If you mean the port of palm beach about 3-5 miles if that

Absolutely!! We all have what we like! If you want a render I can make something up
