Dude...this is probably the best DIY PPF video I've seen. I know it's not nearly as easy as you make it look, since clearly you've been doing this a hot minute, but yeah, really just outstanding. There's no pretentious BS going on here like this is curing cancer. It's putting plastic on a car.
Beautiful !! 👏🏽 I really like how you showed mistakes and the solution to them! Thank you. I’m a detailer (5 years) and this new year I’m going to be implementing ppf into my services
Best PPF vids out there...straight to the point and provides the need to know details for DIYers. Been corresponding with Eric on a pre-cut set for new Tacoma and he has been unbelievably helpful. Support the channel and business.
We use XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS PPF. All of our tools and solutions can be found in some of the first videos posted on our channel early 2020. Check them out!
I see slip and tac solution, when are you using either of them, you initially used slip and sometimes you used tac. Got one from you for model y full front.
You talk about the adhesive line being left behind from using tack solution if needed to lift the PPF back up due to contaminants. If that were to happen would the adhesive left behind need to be polished out? Curious as I’m learning PPF thanks and excellent video
@@DriveProtected is there no way to get ride of the adhesive line if the mistake is made and want to correct it on the spot, I guess is what I was asking
As a window tinter in a prior life, I reckon after watching your video I’ve got this nailed myself, thanks for the super high quality and informative DIY video, probably the best one I’ve seen so far.
Excellent instruction! I am going to attempt this on a new Bronco with removable hardtop panels. Wrapping around the edge is not possible due to the weather seals. What do you recommend to leave an edge of film exposed near the edge of the panel? How to cut without damage, and ensure the bond will last?
Thank you for the kind words! If the edge of the PPF is near the edge of the panel and properly post heated and sealed off, you shouldn't have anything to worry about with the film potentially lifting.
Is there an ideal temperature inside your shop for installs? It seems that if it’s too hot the film will set too quickly so what is too hot for an install?
Well I just did an install in a garage in 100 degree weather and we were able to do a successful install. The key is using a TON of slip solution. Ideal temperatures would be 70-85 degrees in my opinion.
you mention slip solution and tack solution several times... is there a specific mixture you use to make this or is this something you purchase? How do you make if it, if that's the case, or what brand do you use if it is a purchased product? thanks
Roughly how does this whole process work? Is the film advesive already? Do you put anit slip solution down on the car? Then on the surface of the film that touches the car? Then even on top of the film? Then as you squeegee, where does the tacking solution come into play and what is that doing? Do you have to spray tack between the car and film and then squeegee? Do you tack the top of the film too as you squeegee? If you tack the top of the film what is the purpose of that? Since I'm unfamilar with this, it's hard to tell when you use slip vs tack and to what surfaces. Sorry for the dumb questions. I am wanting to try this for a new car I'm buying. Really impressive work
The PPF comes with an adhesive on it. The slip solution helps glide the film into place and the tack solution helps tack it into place by activating the adhesive.
Amazing video! Took a 3 day class few weeks ago and haven’t been able to get it down. Amazing job explaining the process. Ready to get to practice tomorrow!
another great video. I really like them. I am getting ready to do my first PPF install and I am going to order some items from you. I want to support you for making good teaching videos.
Hey man, shoot me a email, eric@reflectionautomotive.ca and go over everything you need to know to protect your 21 Sierra. Plus I’ll get you a discount as well!
When doing bulk on fenders and areas where you can't access the edges or underneath, how do you cut it accurately without damaging the paint? I almost think overtime the precut PPF kits will show dirt along the edges since they aren't wrapped over the edge.
So in those situations you would trim along the edge of the panel. The pre-cut film can indeed cause dirt build up over time, but proper washing and vehicle maintenance can help avoid any dirt build up on edges.
Thanks for the video, I live in Iraq and I want to buy roll of film for my 2020 f150 super crew truck,I want to know what size of film I need to buy? For whole truck
Nice video but would be nice to know what the "slip solution" and "tack solution" are. Unless I have missed something I don't think you explained what the solutions are composed of.
OK, but if you are going to post a video on the basics of PPF Install and you are discussing "slip and tack solutions" it seems like you would at least explain what the solutions are!! Or at least refer people to other videos where you discuss this information. Instead you expect people to have to search for this info from other sources. Kind of ignorant.@@DriveProtected
@rg-dv9ky I can understand how it may come across as ignorant, but this video is 3 years old and it was one of the very first videos on this channel. We’ve been asked this question so many times in the comment section of this video and other videos. Some videos it’s been explained in detail but not everyone who ask’s actually watches the whole video before asking the question. But since you bring up a great point of not suggesting a video to watch, here you go. Here is one of our solution videos: PPF Pro Tips - How To Mix PPF Solutions th-cam.com/video/DmcxmvRNUjs/w-d-xo.html
Hello there, is it worth paying 1800 to attend a PPF 2 day class? Will that be enough to learn the basics? .. I’m looking to add additional services to my existing business! Any recommendations i would really appreciate it! Thank you
What did you do with the back edge portion closest to the windshield? Did you wrap it around the edge or did you cut it on the top of the painted surface?
I just had my new 4runner wrapped with Digishield at the dealership. When i got it home, I noticed bubbles on the hood and rock panels. The dealership told me it was normal and would fix itself in a week to a month. Is this really normal and will it really heal itself? Is there anything i can do to help it?
Thank you for the informative video. I want to do it myself because it’s so expensive at a shop. My question is can you mess it up ? How long did it take to to do this?
Yes you can totally mess it up. My recommendation is that you would find some smaller pieces of film and practice with prior to starting your installation.
I just finished wrapping my car everything came out fine untill one of the side doors got a rock chip thats pretty noticeable it really sucks finding a way to protect the other areas
When you pull and tack down the front corners do you pull straight down or at an angle, if theres 2 people doing a hood do we pull and tack at the same time?
I’m reading mixed information about how soon you can put “PPF” on fresh paint. Just spraymax 2k Clear, not baked been 70-80 degrees since done. What’s the risks of early application?
If the paint hasn't been baked to cure, go by the clear coat manufacturers recommendations for time before waxing. On my personal vehicles I wait 90 days just to be safe before waxing. Similar will apply to ppf application. You want all the solvents to fully leave the paint before covering it
Where do you buy this exact film. I can’t figure out where to buy it at need it wide enough to do a couple hoods and front bumpers. I’ve been looking online but can’t find it anywhere for the width I’m looking for to do a hood
Where can I find film that large to cover the entire hood? I've been looking at the 3M and VVivid films, and they only come in 6 inches or 12 inches wide.
I actually just had my car PPF'd. Is it normal to have a finder print under the film or maybe a small piece of dirt? Obviously you want a clean area but can that stuff be prevented? Is it something worth having them fix?
If you’re doing it yourself, yes that may be expected. If it’s done professionally, the fingerprint shouldn’t be there. The spec of dirt isn’t uncommon unless it’s really big
@@DriveProtected Yes, it was done professionally. I think its a finger print but not certain. It's on the hood on the crease. It's not noticeable unless you're looking for it. All in all it looks like the shop did a good job. They did my last car a couple of years ago but I'm new to PPF and don't know what is normal or if it needed to be redone. If it were to be redone I also hear it can damage the paint when removing.
@@DriveProtected In my case its a brand new car. So I guess it was recently painted from factory. Thank you for the info! Only wondering as I need to take it back to have the side fender probably redone as it peeled up where the fender goes around the wheel. It wasn't like that for the first few days after and it suddenly was. Appreciate it!
Great video! What’s the squeegee that you use in your applications also do you use the fusion solution straight or you still mix something else? Thank you.
It all comes down to squeegee techniques and ensuring your always overlapping your squeegee strokes. That being said, there is almost always moisture left behind. In those cases we use a diabetics needle to pop them.
Yes. That hood will present issues but if you do the four corner tack and stretch you should be fine. With that hood, a big stretch across the front is going to be needed. Reach out to me at eric@refectionautomotive.ca if you need more direct help

Extremely interesting and educational for a DIY'er. Thank you for explaining everything in such detail.
Thank you for the kind words and the support. Greatly appreciated!
Most installers want to make you believe this IS ROCKET SCIENCE. It's not, ANYONE can do this, take your time for perfection.
You got that right!
Thank you for saying this, I'm starting to think I might be able to do it. What's the worst case scenario if I screw up? Can I just rip it off?
The issue is most high end PPF will not warranty your work and will only warranty the ones done by a shop.
@KubanKevin PPF manufacturers only warranty the film from yellowing. Shops should warranty their work quality.
You're totally right... same as car detailers...
Made this look so easy.. people have no idea!!
Haha! Thanks!
Brilliant. Thanks. What's tack solution and slip solution, please?
Nice video - I liked how you went through the couple of issues that can crop up and how to solve them!

What film and products are you using? I am very new to PPF installations using XPEL. What is the Tack solution? Is it the same as XPEL gel?
We use XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS PPF. All of our tools and solutions can be found in some of the first videos posted on our channel early 2020. Check them out!
What's in the tac solution
I see slip and tac solution, when are you using either of them, you initially used slip and sometimes you used tac. Got one from you for model y full front.
Slip solution is used to glide the film into place, Tack solution is used lock the film into place. Thank you so much for your support!
What size is that ppf film and were did you buy it good job thanks for explaining
This would be roughly 60”wide by 75”long. Email me at eric@reflectionautomotive.ca and I can hook you up with the film!
You talk about the adhesive line being left behind from using tack solution if needed to lift the PPF back up due to contaminants. If that were to happen would the adhesive left behind need to be polished out?
Curious as I’m learning PPF thanks and excellent video
Adhesive lines are lines in the film. Overtime they will fade away under the sun, but not 100%. They just become less visible.
@@DriveProtected is there no way to get ride of the adhesive line if the mistake is made and want to correct it on the spot, I guess is what I was asking
Nope.

Very good video, not often that mistakes and corrections are shown in videos
Awesome job brotha whats in the slip how much per quart
That tack stuff is crazy. So cool 😎
Great Video! Can I use soap and water as my slip solution and tact solution when applying PPF?
Yup!
What are the ratios and can the same solution be used for both slip solution and tact solution?
i was thinking to use magnet to hold it down for small slipery part
A magnet may work out well
At about 12:00 when you were finishing up the hood before trimming, were you using tac or soap to finish up the edges? Before you trimmed it.
Tack solution to help dry out the edges
Is there an ideal temperature inside your shop for installs? It seems that if it’s too hot the film will set too quickly so what is too hot for an install?

Slip Solution is 1.5 cc of Johnson & Johnson Baby Shampoo to 32oz of purified drinking water. Tack Solution is just warm water.
Fantastic video. Thanks for explaining your work. My only question is what is the tac solution made of?
Just warm water.
Great video. You do make it simple and doable. Kudos
Thank you!
Your tack solutions, do you use 100% 70 to 90 % rubbing alcohol or do you mix water with it? Thx
Mixed with water and I prefer to use the strongest alcohol I can find. In my case more often than not it’s 90+%
Great stuff, just wonder about the knife contacting the paint on the Pinch welds?
No worries about that.
Roughly how does this whole process work? Is the film advesive already?
Do you put anit slip solution down on the car? Then on the surface of the film that touches the car? Then even on top of the film?

What is a tack rag? Never heard of that before.
So where do you purchase the film for DIY? Most I see is only 12" wide.

$5-600 ish
What brand of ppf do you use ??
Fantastic video. Thanks. How do you use bulk on the front facia? I am wanting to get away from having to buy precut kits. Kind of expensive.
If you've never done PPF before, pre-cut film is the way to go.
Thank you for this. Trying to do it on my 2022 BMW, you mentioned you preped it already with isopropyl alcohol, what is the dilation rate for it?
I use it straight at 90% to prep the surface!
When doing bulk on fenders and areas where you can't access the edges or underneath, how do you cut it accurately without damaging the paint? I almost think overtime the precut PPF kits will show dirt along the edges since they aren't wrapped over the edge.

You’re like the first person to tell me that haha.
Hi, why do sometimes you have to remove a plastic layer before installing? I did not see you do that. Is it a brand specific thing?
Thank you sir!
It’s a protective cap sheet that comes from the factory. Some manufacturers remove it, others don’t.
Are you not concerned about adhesive stretch marks when you pull the 4 corners?
I’d you know how much you need to stretch you have nothing to worry about.

When you pull and tack down the front corners do you pull straight down or at an angle, if theres 2 people doing a hood do we pull and tack at the same time?
I like to pull in a triangle shape and downwards. If you have an extra set of hands that would be a massive help when pulling/tacking
Could someone provide a complete list of materials required to accomplish this job, please ? What's the ratio of water-to-soap solution, etc... ? Thx!
I’m reading mixed information about how soon you can put “PPF” on fresh paint. Just spraymax 2k Clear, not baked been 70-80 degrees since done. What’s the risks of early application?
Risks of early applications are paint gassing out under film causing bubbles, peeling clear coat and discolouration
If the paint hasn't been baked to cure, go by the clear coat manufacturers recommendations for time before waxing. On my personal vehicles I wait 90 days just to be safe before waxing. Similar will apply to ppf application. You want all the solvents to fully leave the paint before covering it
Do you paint correction the hood to take out swirls first 🤷🏼♂️🙏✌️🇨🇦
Nope. We don’t do corrections.
Where did you get the large cuts ppf? Can't find it on amazon tho.
Email me at eric@driveprotected.shop with what you are looking for!
What is the tack solution? Alcohol and water?
Yes alcohol and water!
How would you deal with existing rock chips in the bumper cover?
Add a tiny bit of touch up paint to it, and wrap over top. Not much you can do once you have some chips on the bumper.

can we know the concoction of the spray solution?
Slip solution and tack solution.
@@DriveProtected do u have a preferred brand just in case?

If it were to be redone I also hear it can damage the paint when removing.
If the hoods been repainted, they’re may be potential for damage. Maybe. All depends on how they remove the film.

Thanks for watching!!
Outstanding video brother!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!!
How do you avoid getting small trapped air bubbles in the film?
It all comes down to squeegee techniques and ensuring your always overlapping your squeegee strokes. That being said, there is almost always moisture left behind. In those cases we use a diabetics needle to pop them.
@@DriveProtected Should I give it a couple days to clear first or use the needle right after the piece of film is installed?
Do it right after install. It will avoid any bubble lines in the film
How long do you let the ppf dry before you attempt rolling the edges?
Usually an hour or so.
@@DriveProtected Any tips when doing the full hood of a 2021 Sienna van using bulk ppf? Is the front curve going to present any issues?
Yes. That hood will present issues but if you do the four corner tack and stretch you should be fine. With that hood, a big stretch across the front is going to be needed. Reach out to me at eric@refectionautomotive.ca if you need more direct help
