Having PPF on the front bumper is really important to prevent rock chips which Ceramic coating wont protect and will really hinder the look of the paint since it will have multiple chips. PPF on the hood and fenders I would say would help a lot as well.
Thanks for watching! This is incorrect. Coatings like MAX G+, Icon Rocklear, REVIVIFY, etc offer an increased level of thickness to prevent rock chips. Now, traditional SiO2 coatings like IGL, Holy Grail, Gtechniq, etc... Then you're correct. As I stated in the video a reputable shop would charge you 1K+ for PPF on the front bumper unless it's a small vehicle. And WHEN that PPF is damaged warranty does not cover it. You could repaint an entire bumper twice for that price. In our almost 10-Years in business there is no benefit to PPF Fenders unless you have a Widebody. Also, if doing the hood only 1/4 hood is beneficial... Entire hood PPF is a waste as I have never witnessed a vehicle with a rock chip past the front 25-30%. I appreciate you watching!!! I hope you subscribed! I keep it a little too real and I know some guys at SEMA will be mad that I spill the beans on the PPF profit machine. I have 10K invested in an FC9000 and 6K worth of PPF in stock. I'm not biased.
@@THEBeyondCleanLLCyou should pin your response so everyone can see it. It was luck I found it and it's really insightful and worth everyone being able to read.
@@THEBeyondCleanLLC Icon Rocklear claims to be rock chip resistant but I did not see anything for Max G+. Plus small rock chips it might protect you from, but anything big is doubtful.
@@gurpreetkhinda9665 You would never hear me claim anything even PPF is, “rock chip resistance”. That would mean it’s a 100% guarantee against such impact. PPF > Wipe on Clear(Rocklear) > Ceramic Coating. For a pure rock chip
Thank you for you professional insight. Ceramic it is! While I drive very carefully to preserve my investment as best I can, all we are is dust in the wind.
I PPF'd my 2016 model X when I got it new and it looks brand new after a wash. I did the same on 2023 model X and added ceramic coating. I PPF'd my $40k Miata because I'm keeping it forever and the soul red is really hard to match. I did 10 mils on the front.
It's never the same exact paint too if one gets it repainted. The paint from the manufacture is mixed different from any other OEM paint one can get. If I had a Civic Type-R I would want that PPF.
What about PPF on the door panels to protect against shopping carts scratches and people that open their door to where it touches yours and let it ride up and down as they get out ? For reference this is for my 25 i4 M50
do you recommend ppf on older cars with existing rock chips already? 2018 m240i xdrive was going to do ppf full front xpel ultimate with gtech ceramic coating
@@juju-nk5wz PPF looks terrible on pre existing rock chips as the indentation caused by the rock chip crater cannot be covered. Now, if the shop in question is sanding and filling in the area the PPF would do a good job “hiding” the damage. I’m not a big fan of XPEL 🙂. They are the Ceramic Pro of film. Not terrible but they charge a ton to carry their products which in turn causes the installer to charge more. Try and find. STEK, SunTek, or Llumar installer.
@@THEBeyondCleanLLC Yea im leaning towards just ceramic coating as the car has a few chips and i dont think it makes sense to touch up paint everything, white car as well. another question if you dont mind, hows gtech 3 year ceramic coating? does it usually hold up for the 3 years and do you reccomended at the bare minimum ppf just the headlights. i got a chip the other day on what would be considered near perfect headlights and these adaptive headlights are $$$$$$ thank you again for all the insight, love the channel - subscribed!
@@juju-nk5wz No problem with PPF on headlights and should be relatively inexpensive. Gtechniq has good Coatings and if you’re getting a 3-year then it would be the consumer level CS Light as CS Ultra is a 9-Year option. Nothing wrong with CS Light but it should be priced well as the coating isn’t expensive to buy.
Great idea to protect your vehicles, I've done both on my vehicles, at the end of the day, it's a car that is on the road, along with others, so get over it.

Saves paint at the cost of yellowing, optical distortion, risk of clearcoat delamination and a lot of panel disassembly during installation. Oh and you still need a coating for hydrophobic properties that last. I’ll pass
@@AJ56 Amen! We try and tell clients ALL the time. Most shops are looking at the financial aspect and not what’s in the best interest of the client. I do recommend it on low produced vehicles but never on mass produced.
@Alrounderrrr That’s not true though. If you don’t care about your vehicle then most definitely. Some people do not care about how good/bad paint looks.
@Alrounderrrr Blessings!! It’s not really an opinion on the benefits/disadvantages. A Ceramic Coating eliminates the need to wax or have any other form of clear coat protection. Clear Coat is the most important part of protecting the paint and needs to be protected. If you’re O.K with Waxing 10* a year and wash regularly you wouldn’t need a Coating theoretically. It’s also cheaper to get a coating with the included maintenance package discounts. This all depends on how much you care about your paint especially with vehicle prices. It has nothing to do with this being my business I’ll always be honest about a product. Both a Coating and PPF are great benefits to your vehicle. This video just highlights why I prefer one over the other…. Not that one is bad.
Bugatti’s go up in value and those can afford them understand that and definitely want to to protect their investment. That’s why they have a ton of money, they know how to make their money grow.

Excellent straight talk on PPF……it doesn’t make sense for most people. It does make sense for the enthusiast and the exotic car owner though.

Im assuming you mean .7mm and .6mm?
No, I stated it correctly. On PPF the higher quality film is “7.5MIL”
You don’t measure PPF/Coating Thickness in MM.

In our experience those sorts of vehicles always get the highest-level Coating and PPF.
But, you make a good point!
