Can you use any wax ontop of PPF, do they need to be specific for PPF?



Thanks for the heads up, The main reason im interested in correction is my dad's car, though new, is full of swirls from the dealer, so would like the non covered parts to look just as good as the protected parts swirl wise. The areas that aren't fully covered (a-pillar, above windshield), is it very noticeable where it stops?
Any wax is fine on top of PPF. Keep in mind, you get what you pay for though.

If the car is full of swirls then you likely only need a polish. Paint correction is for paint that is essentially destroyed from years of abuse, or flattening the paint getting rid of orange peel. PPF will almost certainly make the swirls disappear on the areas they cover.

You can tell where the PPF stops on an area like the roof, but it doesn’t stick out at all and doesn’t look the least bit bad. From 10 feet away it’s hard/impossible to tell there’s a line.

I actually worked at Sticker City for a couple of years wrapping vehicles. We did everything from gt350's to LaFerrari's.

While pricey, you get what you pay for. The PPF installers are the best of the best and they only use the best material (XPEL). They have an excellent reputation and a substantial body of work to prove it.

Yes, they do like to look at vehicles in person, but it's for your benefit just as much as theirs. Swing by the shop, take a look at what they might be working on and you should be convinced.

Mine is in the shop getting the same areas covered with Xpel. I also added the ceramic coating.

Unless it’s a serious paint imperfection, you won’t see it under the film.

On a side note, I would take all advice that someone gives you about services or products with a grain of salt and definitely do you own research into what each product does.

Detail shops are trying to sell you ceramic coatings, paint correction, and full car PPF (the first two being really profitable for detail shops as it’s mostly labor.) Of course they’re going to tell you that you NEED it... they’re selling it :)

Some guys who have paid for any of these expensive services are trying to justify their own decision by making you think you need to do the same. Or, they bought into the sales pitch and hype and are trying to convince you of the same.

I’m pretty much in the same boat as @lightrules and many others on this forum as far as PPF coverage, especially if you plan to track the car, or tailgate, or drive on the interstate. For me, I did front bumper, headlights, fog lights, full hood, front fenders, mirrors, a-pillars, above windshield, rocker panels, behind rear tires in the impact zone. I paid $2200. Other than that, on all painted surfaces I alternate between a synthetic sealant (synthetic version of wax) and a silicon spray like reload (some call it ceramic spray.)

They seem to use a film I've never heard of (Hexis). Anyone have experience with that film compared to Xpel

I've got XPEL on one of my cars and a buddy has Suntek on his and they both look great to me (We both have the same car, but different colors). I've heard a few people say that Suntek is actually slightly more glossier. I've got Ceramic over my PFF, so that takes care of the gloss. My Mustang is in the shop all this week getting XPEL and then Ceramic Coating.

For the cost and hassle I would go with what is known to be tried and works.

Could be why they're the cheapest quote I've gotten so far

Any difference between Suntek and Xpel?

I think he can get any film you would like. He did mine in suntek ultra as thats what I asked for due to being the clearest.

I heard Hexis is very good and this video is testing all of them now.

I know they can get other films. I had them do mine in Suntek Ultra. They roll all the edges and do under the door handles and the full works :like:

Any of the LA guys have someone they recommend for PPF instal? I’m waiting on a quote from Bemaro Films but wanted to see what else was out there. Do you recommend a coating on top/below the film too? Thanks!
Sticker City is the a great PPF installer.
