    Just tried doing a small panel on my motorcycle... I have a whole new respect for ppf installerrs... Its a straight up art. A clean install might as well be a nice paintint.

    dude.. i appreciate your genius at the craftsmanship wrt cutting PPF while applying on the car.. i for one, am someone who is good at DIY but there is no way i am doing this with ppf.. maybe just worried that i will invariably cut through the paint.. Much Respect!!

    Great video. So you snap off to a new piece of blade after every use?

    That’s exactly what I need to do. I’m putting fender flares on my truck and I need to cut some existing PPF off. Any suggestions? Should I score and rip like this video? I don’t have anything to practice on

    • @DriveProtected

      I would trim very very gently and slowly try and peel it off. Don’t force it. If you didn’t cut deep enough, do it again with a bit more pressure. Hope this makes sense!

    Hi Eric, what is your opinion on trimming PPF using knifeless tape.

    • @DriveProtected
      @DriveProtected  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Don't do it. PPF is too thick and the knifeless tape leaves a rough, jagged edge on the PPF.

    Ok, so is there a way to prevent the dirt from accumulating along the edges after installation? I.E. spray wax, paste wax, ceramic coating....etc
    And is there a great product that can clean it if it does collect dirt. I've used alcohol but only works, so so .

    • @DriveProtected
      @DriveProtected  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I recommend using an all purpose cleaner and a microfibre towel to scrub along those edges to remove any collected dirt.

    How about trimming along the edge where you don't really have enough to grab and pull the seam a part. like you're trimming maybe 1/8" or 1/16" off the edge where dirt accumulated.

    • @DriveProtected
      @DriveProtected  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Do so carefully.

      Thanks I just went to a local shop and they gave me some scrap to practice on. I placed in on a tuberware lid which is very easy to scratch and practiced. On the very edge I had to use tweezers to get a grip on it so I could pull it off.

    given that there is all these videos that show how much ppf can do to protect the paint I would have thought it would need more to be cut other than just a knife
