I've installed PPF for 15 years and stopped thinking about these steps you talk about and just did them by reflex to have a nice clean job, so for all the newbees watching, listen to this guy he really knows what he's talking about and explains it really well.
It took some time to learn to talk about what I'm doing, while I'm doing it. lol I'm still getting better at it with each passing video. Like you said, I don't even realize what and why I was doing something. It's just mussel memory now. I've really had to start paying attention to what I'm doing and then explain it the best I can. Thank you for this comment! Have you watched anyone else's PPF videos on TH-cam? If so, do you have anything you liked in other videos (or other channels) that I'm not doing?
@@EncorePPFtint I've watched a bunch of videos and used to watch one guy I found good, I forget what his chanel is now, but he doesn't seem to make content anymore. I find a lot out there is not really realistic in the real world or is missing details. Right now your videos are the most realistic and well explained
Welcome aboard and thank you for the feedback. 😁 I enjoy making the videos and it's a HUGE bonus that anyone finds them useful! I wasn't sure how this would go when I started. 👍🏻
Thank you for the feedback. 👍🏻 The floor is a Leggari floor system. I'd say it's been a pretty strong floor. It's a 2 part epoxy. It was quite a bit of work to install but Worth it. Way stronger than the paint on stuff!
I'm guessing that is because they didn't remove the vents to do the installation. Every shop does things a little different. Those are so easy to remove, and I want little to no visible edges in my installs. 👍🏻
@@EncorePPFtint yeah, that’s what I was expecting from them…guess they are too used to doing bloody Tesla’s ….lol got a video on how to dyi video to reattach edges that are coming off from shut lines? Lol
Is it actually popping up around the vents? That's pretty much game over for that install. Sometimes, it can be a pushed back down, but almost never without leaving some kind of lift line. What color is your challenger? That's a bummer!
@@EncorePPFtint oh no not around the vents, the shut lines pretty much. Along the doors, hood, trunk lid, the bits where they fold over around the edges. Those are coming off. Sorry if I want clear, rough at times typing on the app (like I am now)My cars white (Knuckle harr harr dodge) with the caramel interior. With the 6 spd manual and the hellcat brakes
Oh OK. I misunderstood what you were saying. If it's the wrapped edges popping up, it's either bad prep work (left grease or wax around the edges) or wrapping the PPF before it was dry enough. Can you have them fix it or redo the work?
It's an 8mil material. I used to install some 10 mil on headlight, but that stuff was hard to work with. That was also a long time ago. I'm pretty sure it was made by 3m.
Most of the ppf in my videos is going to be PremiumShield NextGen. The air temp in the shop varies from 67-80 degrees F, depending on the time of year. I run the heater in the winter and ac in the summer. If I could make it one temp, I would be right around 70 all year.

Is it the guy that bulked PPF on a yellowish Acura NSX hood? I think it was an acura. It had a deep recessed vent in it.
Thank you for the feedback. It means a lot coming from an experienced installer that's watched quite a few videos. 👍🏻😁
@@EncorePPFtint Yes! that's him
Another great video!
Thank you for watching and commenting!
Great content! Thanks
No problem. Thank you for leaving some feedback. It's much appreciated. 👍🏻
Another really good video. Subscribed.

It's worth the time. Ten minutes now will save 30 minutes and a hassle later.
Agreed. 👌🏻
That ended up so clean! Thanks for the explanation man, new suscriber signed in 😅
Thank you, It was a fun hood. Welcome to the channel. I appreciate your feedback. 👍🏻😁
Looking great! Good work!
Thank you, sir! 😁
fantastic work 👏🏼
Thank you for the feedback! 😁 👍🏻
Great video. I think you should do a video of all the tools that you mainly use - different squeegees, knifes, sprayers, etc. Thanks!
Thanks for the idea! I'll start keeping track of the tools I use and then do a video on them and their uses.
Man, awesome videos! Your floors look great. What did you do the floors with?

Prep
Yeah…company I used messed up the edges.. didn’t get close enough to the extractor vents..an 85%job…
I'm guessing that is because they didn't remove the vents to do the installation. Every shop does things a little different. Those are so easy to remove, and I want little to no visible edges in my installs. 👍🏻

Excellent as always, what mil thickness is the material your using

@@EncorePPFtint two questions, what brand are you using, and what is the best ambient air temp for the install bay.
Most of the ppf in my videos is going to be PremiumShield NextGen.
The air temp in the shop varies from 67-80 degrees F, depending on the time of year. I run the heater in the winter and ac in the summer. If I could make it one temp, I would be right around 70 all year.
