Ppf suggestions from those picking up from Granger ford

[balzee]

If I end up ordering from Zach I'll likely pick up on my trailer but since it's a flatbed I'll use track armor on it. A couple of local shops I trust for PPF and one for paint correction and ceramic. Just over 2 hours away.

What is the shop you are referring too which is 2 hrs away from zach??

One stop for paint correction, PPF and ceramic coating.

I plan on having the car shipped here and fully detailed with ceramic and PPF. I'd rather not drive on Cup 2's for that many miles since I already plan on putting Michelin PS4S on all 4 and selling the Cup 2's. Now that the date keeps getting pushed back into October, who knows what the weather will be like.

I visited Granger Ford on Friday (yesterday) and saw a FJ Grey Mach 1 that had full PPF including rockers that had not been picked up yet. I've seen a lot of PPF on lots of different cars and the work on this car is about as nice as I've seen. The front bumper has a lot of compound curves and the coverage and detail was excellent. I had planned to have my PPF done locally after the trip back home but I'm thinking I'll probably have it done in Iowa prior to pick up.
Also, for those of you leaving the stickers on, the "bump" between the paint and the decal is really very modest and not noticeable unless you run your finger over that edge.
I thought overall the work was excellent and really worth considering.

I wonder if that was my mach 1

You probably already know the answer to that! Are you getting PS4 tires installed too (that's what they were planning)?

I ordered from Jay at Granger and the plan is once we have shipping and transit info, he'll schedule an appointment at S&C Automotive (nearby Urbandale, IA) for the PPF and ceramic coatings. He will personally drive the vehicle there to have it completed. I then I will have to wait one week prior to driving it home for it cure. It's a long drive from Iowa to Seattle, so I'm not taking chances. Hope I didn't miss someone else already mentioning this! Cheers

Where are you having PPF done?

I'd only be considering that option if they'd tow it there, have no intention to be picking my car up with that many miles on it already. I mean there are enough folks, I am kinda surprised they haven't looked at getting this done in house and on site as a dealer option.

Most likely because they do not have the room. And since they have a working relationship with S&C why bother. 28 miles is not a lot but if you wanted it flatbeded I’m sure that could be done.

S&C Automotive in Urbandale, IA...that is Grangers go to for PPF and Ceramic.

I’m sorry, I meant what parts of the car are you having done.

I need another cup of coffee.

I've only bought one new car/truck before. it had 4 miles on it when I signed the paperwork, and 3 of those were from my test drive.

No worries, having my first espresso as we speak! I’m doing the partial PPF (see pic) and the Gold Package ceramic (entire car 4 coats). Their website is quite good and detailed if you want more info https://scautomotive.com

OK, that's better. So some sage advice from my friend and detailer. Rocks and stones know exactly where your PPF ends. It will find that line and cross it. 100% guaranteed.

We were discussing my hood but it could pertain to anywhere on the front end of the car. To prevent the heartbreak of a stone chip please consider the following:

Full front clip, bumper, fenders, hood, & mirrors.
"A" pillars and leading edge of the roof. I have personal experience with both of these. Best $100 you will ever spend.

This is where I stopped. Others have done more but I reached my budget at this point. Good luck in whatever you decide.
