Clear Bra vs Ceramic Coat

Bulk roll, custom wrapping only. Got it, thanks.

you're going to find that the person wrapping cannot do some of the points on the front bodywork, custom wrap or not.

There is a severe point on the very front of the quarter panel next to the headlight. no matter what you do, it is impossible to get that covered. the minute that ANY heat is applied, the film is trying to self heal and shrinks, thus exposing some piece of the point,

also the very edges of the corner of the hood dont wrap well either. My hood was done off the roll instead of with the two piece template.

Overall, xpel's template for the quarters and the bumper is pretty shitty.

Curious to hear Derands point of view, since he wrapped his own car, and I didn't recall him mentioning his front bumper being a total PITA

Check the dirty Lightning Blue pictures at the beginning of the thread. Based on what I saw here, I'm also going to have the bottoms of the doors covered.

Yeah, the guy who did mine said it was medium difficulty. Not the easiest, not the hardest. But then again I wasn't asking him for perfection.

I had the front of my roof done, but the wrap won't adhere all the way around the sharp bend right next to the windshield. So, I noticed the first rock chip there yesterday. The worst part is I know it's my own fault for getting impatient and following too closely in traffic. :(

yeah, if the installer tries to get the next to impossible details wrapped, it is pretty difficult.

Hack, I'd check that headlight " pocket" that I was describing earlier to make sure that it is covered.

like i said, I'm having the whole roof done in flat black vinyl for some form of protection. I dont like filling chips and trying to get them leveled.
