I appreciate your determination to remain unbiased, you can tell that you have your feelings about certain wraps but you have tried to be unbiased for the purpose of this video. respect. good video, i like.
definitely agree with challenging yourself with harder films. everyone dogs on vvivid because their use to only wrapping with 3m or avery but my first wraps were with vvivid and its made working with other films so much easier.
CK you're the best! Thankyou for educating us novices this invaluable info - there's way more to Vinyl than i could imagine - Im attempting to Wrap my ZX12r Sportsbike in either Black Chrome or Gloss Black - Cheers Mate! 👍🇦🇺
Fixin to do my first wrap. Ive almost given up on spraying. Prep work with welding, filling, bangin out metal im comfortable but spraying... not so much. This guy makes me feel like ill have success on my F150. Wish me luck!
I would love to see a comparison video between 3M, Avery, Teckwrap, Vvivid, Inozetek and Oracal. Use the best Gloss Black from each brand, and if the material does NOT have a cap, then show us what is the best way to install it to limit the scratches.
Vivid is by far the nicest. Awesome video. Because of your video's i am wrapping some of the stuff on my jet ski just to see what i can do. I have been working on cars for over 20 years as a mechanic metal fabricator body man painter custom electrical custom ground up builds. Always nice to learn new things on cars. Im doing the lower hood on my jetski with vivids carbon fiber. Let me know how to send pics of it to you so i can get your opinion on how it turns out.
Having watched this video I have to ask myself: why would anyone use anything other than Vvivid these days, and why haven't the others caught-up in terms of no orange peel, a stretchable protection film, small air release pattern and decent guidelines on the back? I mean, I'm a layman but it seems to me that's what properties the ultimate material needs to have (although even Vvivid doesn't have all of them).
Best black: KPMF perfect black Best carbon: sott elemento 6 Best tint: llumar Best budget-quality films : KPMF Best gold/black :Inzotek midnight gold Best wood effect vinyl for furniture vinyl : 3m Di-noc
My opinion Best black: Hexis gloss black.. it’s more durable Best matte black: Hexis Best carbon: they all suck for one reason or another Best tint: solar guard but suntek is fine Budget film: cheetah wrap Gold black : inozetek Wood grain for furniture: Dinoc Best print/lam combo ij180/8518 Best squeegee: geek wraps silver streak Best knife: Olfa xa-1 Fun fact: Lumar is actually suntek Best heat source: Solary IR1 Infrared Dryer 110V Baking Infrared Paint Curing Lamp Short Wave Infrared Heater Car Bodywork Repair Paint lamp Dryer (Amazon) Love to see what all the installers think it’s good to see perspective 😉
Thanks for this demo. I might try Vvivid next time for my car - i now see a stark difference from Avery. Avery is though pliable for beginner who does not own a heat gun.
@@sammymontego2217 great lol I’m surprised I got a reply on here after a year if you have an email or something I can send pics but it honestly still looks like the day I wrapped it not even scratches and no the car isn’t garaged kept I drive it everyday and it stays outside
First, thanks for all the videos. Second, I ordered Vvivid in carbon fiber, Rapid TAC Application and also I ordered Zanch Vinyl Wrap Tool Kit Window Tint Tools Heat Gun. QUESTION???? WHAT TEMPERATURE °F DO YOU KEEP THE HEAT GUN WHEN DOING VINYL WRAP??????? Thanks
Vinyl wrap got started back in the late 80s early 90s when all the Honda owners put so many autozone graphics on their cars it completely covered the paint.
now in days they make solution to do a wet install to not scratch the film like teckwrap which has the highest gloss.. the reason why teckwrap has the highest gloss is because of the thick protective cap
im gonna try to wrap my car for the first time soon and wanna go with the ViVViD high gloss. Is the one CK is using piano black or just regular gloss? I want it glossy but im not sure if piano is gonna be TOO glossy
I am getting an Avery wrap on my white 2020 Kia Optima on the pillars next to my panoramic sunroof and the sides next to my windshield, in a week or so. Now I am second guessing having it done after seeing the orange peel. It’s a reputable place doing it, but not sure I could live with that peel/potential scratches from the squeegee. Hmmm...
with this new vivvid material what is your opinion on wrapping a whole car in this new gloss black? ive always never wanted to because of swirls and scratches to come over time.
Man you're awesome, i learn so much from your vids. I had a little doubt tho, to wrap, do i really need a heat gun or i can just use a hair dryer? And when am i supposed to apply heat on the film? Keep up the good work!
Hey, soooo can you buff and wax color wrap?????? Lol I imagine it'll just rip off or melt. . But how do you go about restoration or protection for the wraps????
I tried vvivid and Avery before. You get a real nice gloss black with vvivid, meanwhile Avery looks very cheap. Almost like having a trash bag on top of your car.
Was this the same stuff that he used in the video? Looking to order asap but don't want a bu ch of orange peel. He didn't leave much of a hint at what series it is. Just that its new. Does that mean this is reading gloss black or part of the vvivvid+ line?
@@brandonl1052 It's not bad. I just used it for smaller sections so I can't say for a large flat panel. The last hood I did in it looked pretty good, better than some painters around here seem to be able to do. Best thing I can recommend is order a sample and check it out in person
@CKWraps mate, any tips on installing the vvivid piano gloss black? I'm having a HELL of ao time trying to do my hood with it, thinking i might just can it and go find a carbon that will work better. I've been using KPMF red black on my panels and its SO EASY and beautiful, this gloss black is absolute hell.
Do you now use the Vvivid with the stretchable cap as your only go to black gloss? Trying to see if they sell in the UK. Thanks in advance dude and awesome videos. Learned so much
You might have whatever opinion about 3M but in this test should be their 2080 with the protection layer, also Inozetek and Cheetah would be interesting to compare... However good job as usualy and nice looking shop. Good luck!
Higherworlds, are you talking about the actual film itself or the protective liner not being stretchable? Also, can CK or someone else please address this point, given that the film featured in the vid was pre-production, so we can't necessarily go by what was said unless someone else comments on Vvivid materials that have actually been purchased since.
Air release comes out of the edges of the film, not through the film. The cap responds exactly the same way the film does. It stretched and shrinks with heat.
You gave me more info in 30 minutes than reading every website on every product over two weeks. THANK YOU!
lol same , it’s so hard to find a reliable review on wraps, it’s either “it’s great” or “it’s trash get 3M” lol
Wow wraps come a long way just in a couple years. They now look smoother then some manufacturers factory paint.
I appreciate your determination to remain unbiased, you can tell that you have your feelings about certain wraps but you have tried to be unbiased for the purpose of this video. respect. good video, i like.
i benefited a lot from this vid thanks! one way to differentiate the difference of vivvid and tek is tek has a haze and vivvid has more clarity.
definitely agree with challenging yourself with harder films. everyone dogs on vvivid because their use to only wrapping with 3m or avery but my first wraps were with vvivid and its made working with other films so much easier.
Very impressed with these vids! Love the comparisons. More shops need to see this.
You haven’t peeled it yet have you?

Oh... im going Vvivid but should I wait for that ultra gloss black not out yet.???
What is this Vvivid gloss black vinyl called and is it available yet?
Thanks for this. I am going to wrap my 89 firebird formula 350 with Vivid in black.
I wish you Demoed Averys Obsidian gloss Black in this line up because personally I think it’s a great contender
I’m looking for examples for it. Would love to replicate that Lamborghini Black.
I would love to see a comparison video between 3M, Avery, Teckwrap, Vvivid, Inozetek and Oracal.
Use the best Gloss Black from each brand, and if the material does NOT have a cap, then show us what is the best way to install it to limit the scratches.
3m has orange peel and you see glue lines after a few months
I love this new background of your shop. I assume it's your new shop! Awesome. Thanks for informing!
Good comparison! I just got the Vvivid Gloss Black for my Chrome Delete on my new 2021 Z71 LTZ! should be in today. Can't wait.

Where you can find vvivid gloss black?
@@claudiovillanuevameyer56 Amazon has killer deals. Got 5ft by 50ft for $340
Yooo Christian , thanks to you i wrapped my own STI, I used avery Gloss Black. Super pleased
do you have instagram to see it?
@@XFXBoard yea bro i have a couple pics where u can see the wrap I havent posted much tho keepin it on the DL @da_blue02 ..
how much did you spend on wrap material and mow many square feet did you need for the whole car
I was having the hardest time trying to find the best and enough gloss black wrap to do a whole car
After 4hrs of pulling, heating, and watching christian do it . I've wrapped my complicated montero sports headlight. Cheers christian

because vvivid is the hardest to work with. it's thick and difficult to manipulate without ruining it.

Best gloss black will be Inozotek. They said should be available Aug- Sept. ty
Thanks for this demo. I might try Vvivid next time for my car - i now see a stark difference from Avery. Avery is though pliable for beginner who does not own a heat gun.
JG vinyl has PET gloss black for only $475 which is by far the best black like ZERO orange peel I love it
Honestly don’t get why vvivid gets a bad rep I wrapped my hood for the first time and I got great results and it was easy to use
1 year later, how's that vvivid wrap holding up?
@@sammymontego2217 great lol I’m surprised I got a reply on here after a year if you have an email or something I can send pics but it honestly still looks like the day I wrapped it not even scratches and no the car isn’t garaged kept I drive it everyday and it stays outside
@@ctoeasy6960 second reply lol, I will do mine too and vivid is my way to go honestly…
The vvivid you used was it the ultra gloss piano black?
@@ctoeasy6960 Did you use the piano black vivid wrap or what did you use?
Great video! Just getting into the idea of wanting to try and wrap my car!
*Go with the lower priced between Vvivid vs TeckWrap.*
Hey bro, saw your other videos. Thanks, you help me made my decision.
First, thanks for all the videos. Second, I ordered Vvivid in carbon fiber, Rapid TAC Application and also I ordered Zanch Vinyl Wrap Tool Kit Window Tint Tools Heat Gun.
QUESTION???? WHAT TEMPERATURE °F DO YOU KEEP THE HEAT GUN WHEN DOING VINYL WRAP??????? Thanks
Vinyl wrap got started back in the late 80s early 90s when all the Honda owners put so many autozone graphics on their cars it completely covered the paint.
*WHEN IT COMES TO CAR WASH*
_SHOULD IT ONLY BE HAND WASH?_
_TO KEEP THE WRAP CLEAN_
Vvivid makes some nice wrap!
ive been using 3M gloss black for a year and love the protective cap. You are right about orange peel. I want to try the new vivid film!
3M gloss black is literally brown I don’t kno why
@@jaskarankhosa8157 yep it will have a brownish hue in direct sun. So does Avery is some cases
What about street salt when it snows? Also what color u wont see and harder to scratch and looks better? Whats the best brand for nyc weather?
“RG dare to change” got a gloss black similar to that Teckwrap stuff. Very minimal orange peel. The avery looks horrible compared to it
When does this vivid film drop?
The Vvivid looks great. Is that the XPO series Gloss Black, or has this still not been released?
Is there a big comparison on the satin finish when comparing Avery to vivid ?
now in days they make solution to do a wet install to not scratch the film like teckwrap which has the highest gloss.. the reason why teckwrap has the highest gloss is because of the thick protective cap
im gonna try to wrap my car for the first time soon and wanna go with the ViVViD high gloss. Is the one CK is using piano black or just regular gloss? I want it glossy but im not sure if piano is gonna be TOO glossy
Two questions - 1)is this vivid gloss or ultra gloss
2) could some ceramic coating help my new Avery gloss film
I'm doing a 2JZ G35 build thinking of going with a gloss black wrap or satin dark grey. Still undecided on what brand and color to run.
Would like to see a review on vvivvid/Avery/3m matte finish comparison
Can you do a paint protection film video next :)
I am getting an Avery wrap on my white 2020 Kia Optima on the pillars next to my panoramic sunroof and the sides next to my windshield, in a week or so. Now I am second guessing having it done after seeing the orange peel. It’s a reputable place doing it, but not sure I could live with that peel/potential scratches from the squeegee. Hmmm...
No don’t Avery is by far the best quality. All the pros use it. Plus cK wraps is sponsored by vivid so he never talks negative about it.
Hey have you tried the Vvivid piano black ultra gloss black vs the Vvivid gloss black. Which one is the better product?
with this new vivvid material what is your opinion on wrapping a whole car in this new gloss black? ive always never wanted to because of swirls and scratches to come over time.
I love Vvivid but it just doesn’t seem to have much adhesive in it, am I just doing things wrong?
Did you checked KPMF gloss black?
Please try it!!! 😉
Black PPF is the best. Self healing and more of a deep black.
Pls Try some STEK Dynoblack or
Kavaca Black (not sure if available in US yet)
Man you're awesome, i learn so much from your vids. I had a little doubt tho, to wrap, do i really need a heat gun or i can just use a hair dryer? And when am i supposed to apply heat on the film? Keep up the good work!
Is the gloss black from VViViD is their new color?
What about 3M? Are you not a fan of that brand for roof wraps? Love all.of your videos! Super talented and crazy work!
another great video on this channel - thank's :)
Hey, soooo can you buff and wax color wrap?????? Lol I imagine it'll just rip off or melt. . But how do you go about restoration or protection for the wraps????
Thank you Chris good information
I tried vvivid and Avery before. You get a real nice gloss black with vvivid, meanwhile Avery looks very cheap. Almost like having a trash bag on top of your car.
Lol I actually said to someone today that Avery looks like a garbage bag
was the vivvid high gloss black or ultra high gloss piano black?
Great review man. I am def interested in the Vivid now. Where are u located?
Which black is the Vvivid? I just ordered some vvivid xpo gloss black, curious if it's similar. Should be showing up next week
Was this the same stuff that he used in the video? Looking to order asap but don't want a bu ch of orange peel. He didn't leave much of a hint at what series it is. Just that its new. Does that mean this is reading gloss black or part of the vvivvid+ line?
@@brandonl1052 The XPO is got in does not have the plastic cap on it, so I don't think it's the same stuff.
How was the orange peel? Did it look like a Toyota paint job or Mercedez? Lol
@@brandonl1052 It's not bad. I just used it for smaller sections so I can't say for a large flat panel. The last hood I did in it looked pretty good, better than some painters around here seem to be able to do. Best thing I can recommend is order a sample and check it out in person
I'd believe that part about the painter for sure! They're a dying breed. Thanks for the advice
Was this just Avery Gloss Black? They have an Obsidian Black now which is a deeper black, though the glossiness would be the same most likely
Has anyone ever tried to clear coat a vinyl wrap and what kind of paint did you use
Vivid wins for me.. thanks for the video
When does the Vvivid Gloss black coming out?
Hey, which camera do you use for recording these videos??
The comparison through the camera was very clear and speaks for itself.
@CKWraps mate, any tips on installing the vvivid piano gloss black? I'm having a HELL of ao time trying to do my hood with it, thinking i might just can it and go find a carbon that will work better.
I've been using KPMF red black on my panels and its SO EASY and beautiful, this gloss black is absolute hell.
Do you now use the Vvivid with the stretchable cap as your only go to black gloss? Trying to see if they sell in the UK. Thanks in advance dude and awesome videos. Learned so much
Hi Christian! Love your videos. Question, which wrap do you prefer working with in terms quality, 3m/Hexis/Avery? Thanks.
Great content as always! What is your opinion on Oracal?
How much would you charge to wrap a 2020 BMW Series 3 in Vivid Gloss Black Vinyl? I’m trying to get a price range.
when are they gonna release the new vvivid gloss black?
Where is everyone purchasing their vvivid gloss black vinyl. I can not find anything in stock.
Wow. the new Vivid is very clean. Do you know when the company will realease this product?
I heard 1,000 rolls are on the way. Should be in the next few weeks
@@CKWraps perfect. :)
Another great video and compair!
Hi. Do you know where can I get Vivvid Vinyls in Europe? Thanks for any help.
When is vivvid coming out with this black
With a month we should have an entire line of "ultra gloss film"
VViViD VINYLS how much would it be for like 55ft roll
Ezequiel Gonzalez suspect around the same price as their other wraps.
JayDee yea hopefully
You might have whatever opinion about 3M but in this test should be their 2080 with the protection layer, also Inozetek and Cheetah would be interesting to compare... However good job as usualy and nice looking shop. Good luck!
I have gloss black 2080 and does have orange peel.
Hmm, very accurate comparison,,vvivid wins 🏆
@CK Wraps Have you had a chance to try the new Piano Black from Vvvid, curious to which is darker?
My most recent video is the new Vvivid ultra gloss black as well as many other brands
@@CKWraps Thanks, it was the Amazon.ca description I was going by, didn't realize they were the same. Keep up the great vids!
Y’all are asleep on kpmf’s gloss black, best gloss black out right now with minimal peel and it’s pretty easy to install
Are the wrapping workshops still available?
Hey man how do I get started to get your course
Is that specific Vvivid wrap with the stretchable cap available on their site?
Sooooo is the new wrap out yet?
Love this CK ... Super informative buddy ... vivid hands down ... Firing over to the website ... See you there man 😎🌈✌️
Was about to order Avery glossy but after this I said fuck it lets get vvvivd might be more different but I want it to look more like paint
Would you Like to compare the glossy black from vvivid and inozetek?
Is that vvivid the ultra gloss piano black?
Can you do a video on how to tint the Ford Raptor tail lights?
Vvivid uses the new plastic release liner now? I need to try them out
We will launch the ultra gloss with the plastic liner
VViViD VINYLS perfect! Will be looking out for that!!!
@@VViViDVINYLS when do you anticipate this launch?
Thom3302 production has started on many colours including gloss black, nardo, a new candy pearl line and even a trial with PPF
I can't believe you didn't mention the true King of black! KPMF perfect black. Way better than all thouse. And also great price!
Have you checked out the Mactac ColourWrap yet? Check out that deep black gloss
You really should have shown 2080. That way you could compare the stretchability of the cap against vvivid
They do stretch equally the same. Perhaps I'll do another video with more brands involved
CK i just recieved my piano black from vivid. the stuff does NOT stretch what so ever
Higherworlds, are you talking about the actual film itself or the protective liner not being stretchable? Also, can CK or someone else please address this point, given that the film featured in the vid was pre-production, so we can't necessarily go by what was said unless someone else comments on Vvivid materials that have actually been purchased since.
Do you know how hexis orange peel compares to vvivid?
Is is vvivid gloss black or vvivid piano black u used?
Is this the piano gloss black or regular gloss black?
Avery all the way. Mine didn't have any scratches. Vvivid is hard to work with for amateurs like me.
now that inozetek dropped theirs you need to add it to the line up
Great,vid very informative thanks a lot
You should compare this to gloss black cheetah wrap
Might have missed it, does the cap shrink back with heat as well and does the air release go trough the cap?
Air release comes out of the edges of the film, not through the film. The cap responds exactly the same way the film does. It stretched and shrinks with heat.
We spent a long time mimicking the memory and stretch through to the new plastic liner.
