Please shere your PPF quotes for front clip and whole car. Just want to see if the quotes I've received are similar. Thx.

[Dr Chill]

I was quoted $2000 and $2500 for the front bumper/hood/fenders/mirrors and $5500 and $6500 for the whole car. Is that similar to what others have been quoted? This is for standard PPF film, not the Matte finish. Installers used either Xpel Ultimate or STEK.

I received a quote last July in anticipation of getting my car in November. Front end only was $1200 as you described. $1850 ceramic entire car. Upon delivery of the car, there were some issues I needed Lucid to handle which they did 1st of year. The tech did a marvelous job on everything he could except trunk alignment with fender panels. He needed additional sets of hands which meant the car had to be taken to a body shop. Lucid trailered my car from northern Maryland to Richmond VA to perform repair last week (took 4 days start to finish, looks perfect now). I have an appointment with detailer shop next week to go over what I think I want done (PPF entire vehicle, ceramic coat, window tint) and will know exactly how much by Thursday noon. I can report back at that time. The shop is very good, recommended by local Porsche dealer who sends all their cars there.
2 friends with Taycans who have had theirs fully PPF and ceramic coated there at around $5100 a year ago

I'm not inquiring about ceramic coating as I do that myself. Only curious about the cost of the paint protection film. STEK films are hydrophobic and supposedly don't require ceramic coating.

 

[crareman]

They actually do a lot more than just apply PPF.
"
the Lucid will undergo a full prep/wash and inspection from the moment we receive the car. We will measure the paint to ensure there are no low spots or issues from the factory. Typically with a new vehicle everything is good but we always like to check and note.

After the full prep and bath, we will do a full clay treatment and paint correction. This will remove all the embedded contaminants and blemishes. The correcting steps will consist of correcting, polishing, jeweling and priming. All lead up to a flawless, deep and beautiful finish, with the car being white it will give it a more brilliant and glossy finish.

After the correction process, we will plot and install the PPF"

 

[Dr Chill]

And your cost for this process? That's all I'm asking. I have had this done to many of my cars in the past and now the price seems higher. Maybe it's just that it's a larger car vs higher labor costs vs higher film costs, or all 3.

$7.900 PPF whole car, with ceramic coating & tint all glass (including glass canopy). Installer used Lluminar with ceramic impregnated. Work was done by shop that was close by the Lucid center in Riviera Beach FL.

I had my Air GT PPF wrapped - (the front-end and A Pillars), the entire car Ceramic coated and windows tinted for $2,700.
Magna did a phenomenal job, so if you're in the AZ market and looking for PPF, Ceramic coating, or window tinting I highly recommend this shop. Ask Mo or JC.

Just a couple of things: 1) STEK or the Xpel Ultimate Fusion (also hydrophobic) do repel water but the hydrophobic feature is not really worth paying extra for because the ceramic coating does a much better job and will last longer if properly applied and cared for. 2) Having a qualified detailer apply your ceramic coating is a better option than doing it yourself in my opinion (maybe you are an expert and have the baking capability??) because if done properly it should be coated multiple times with baking in between each coat and then the ceramic will last much longer and do a much better job or repelling bugs, poop, etc.

$3,650 XPel Ultimate throughout the car minus the A pillar piece/roof and the rear bumper. It is up to you to detail your car or hire someone. I clayed it myself and polished it.

 

[chinesejpl]

I finally got something cheaper in Canada! Mine is xpel stealth, whole car including every trim on the car (also in stealth), no ceramic, for $6k cdn (about $4400 usd). Excellent job too!

 

[Dr Chill]

As far as doing ceramic coating, I don't think the professionals doing the coating justifies the cost. There are inexpensive coatings that hold up almost as well as the expensive pro-only coatings and I reapply every 6-9 months. Applying it is very easy and quick. The only thing I don't do is paint correction, but my cars usually don't need it due to ppf and ceramic from day 1.

Decided on Llumar Valor (identical to Suntek Ultra but with 12 yr warranty) on front of car and mirrors/A pillars for $2000 from Mario at Ironclad. They are Lucid certified and can pickup car at Lucid Riviera Beach, apply film/window tint/ceramic coat and do full body and interior inspection and return car to service center for correction of any paint/body issues or gap/alignment issues before you take delivery. Has done many Lucid Airs.

Here to tell you that "ceramic coated" films are only "ceramic infused". In-depth information here about "ceramic coated" PPF.

TLDR - Regardless of what marketing terms a manufacturer or shop is using - those hydrophobic properties and chemical resistance properties don't last. These films DO NOT replace a ceramic coating on top of paint protection film. Anyone telling you differently is just trying to sell you to get you into their shop because the cheaper price point is attractive.

LLumar Valor is not SunTek Ultra. Suntek Ultra is the non-ceramic enhanced PPF. LLumar Valor is comparable to SunTek Reaction, which is the better film.
