man....i really wanted to see over 100k views....that goes to show you...some don't want to learn the best ppf lays. amazing work, and i am glad i found you. i don't do quite as good, not even close...so i am learning the good good. thanks for sitting us pheasants down and letting us see the show....Dirty...
The channel keeps growing. Little by little, we'll get the hopefully! 😁 The channel is less than 2 years old. Thank you for all of the kind words, and I'm glad to hear that you are finding the videos helpful! Keep working with the PPF, and you'll get to my level. It just takes time. 👍🏻😁
Thank you for the feedback. I have not heard of that channel. I'll have to take a look. Bulking and kits - I do a bit of both. As well as adjusting kits to fit my coverage expectations. Have you considered kit's that you adjust before cutting them out? It can be a huge timesaver.
😂😂 Too Funny. It really was the truth. Yeah, you know exactly what I'm talking about! How and where are you going to start out doing PPF? In a garage? What PPF do you use?
@@EncorePPFtint A Garage would be great but to start out and test the market I'm going to offer a mobile service and keep my overhead low. If it works maybe get a shop to work out of. Facebook, marketplace is big over here and word of mouth is like wildfire, everybody knows everybody so I'm just going to try and get the word out. I used to use Suntek a lot but I found a good xpel distributor here and I like the material so I'll use that
Thank you. We've all been there. That still happens to me from time to time. It sucks, but you'll have so much of an easier installation this time around. You've already figured out the process. 👍🏻
I came across your 4C videos completely by accident. Even if I decide to pay someone it gives me a good idea how the process should go. My only qualm is I would have taken the red cover out of the boot. Those cost $450.
100% agree! I did end up taking it out during another part of theinstallationl . I thought people were going to lay into me (here on yourltube) for not removing it, but they haven't. It totally should have been taken out before I started that install! I was quite annoyed with myself.
Thank you! I'm guessing you've done one before? It was a bit of a puzzle. You kind of put it together as you go. Sometimes I'm surprised at how it all works out. I know what I'm doing and I don't give that too much thought anymore. Let's just get it done. Not whether I'll get it done or not, is what I'm trying to say. :)
@@EncorePPFtint been in this business since 2012. Really love to learn from different wrappers. Justin said once, he learned how to wrap corners from a 7 yo boy. Keep learning mate. Great video, thx
Agreed! I'm always looking to learn. Every time I get the chance to go to a training or watch someone else installation, I'm in and asking questions. Thank you for leaving your comments. It means a lot coming from a long-time installer like yourself. What brand PPF do you install?
I was refilling my tack solution. The mix ratio is 20% rubbing alcohol to 80% water. Here is a video that goes over all of my install solutions and ratios. 👍🏻😁 th-cam.com/video/xGjn2rwh-W4/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kWfaFkMaUa-xT-hH
Got XRPlus Xpel PPF + ceramic coating done on new car today but the installation were not seamless like this car. There were many imperfections like bubbles n loose edges. They told me its normal to have little bubbles here and there and the loose edges will stick down with heat gun after the 3 weeks curing period. Is this supposed to happen?
Maybe. Some seams are normal when installing kits (patterns cut by the computer) and should be expected for most PPF installations. You'll find some seams in some of my other installation videos. Bubbles and loose edges do not sound normal. Maybe a very small imperfection here and there is okay but not great. Where are you located? You could send me pictures @ TH-cam@encorewindowtinting.com, and I could see what you are talking about. Then I could give you a better opinion.
Thanks for the comment. How long have you been installing PPF? I'll have to look into the hybrid gel. What is your ratio of gel and water? Or do you you use it right out of the container? I use seventh generation disk soap. The ratio is 7-12ml (normally 9) to each gallon of water. Here is a video where I go over all of the solutions I use during my installs. th-cam.com/video/xGjn2rwh-W4/w-d-xo.html
3 years. I use Xpel ultimate plus. 50%gel 50%RO water and 7th gen. I mix 150 Oz gel 150 Oz water 2 Oz isopropyl alcohol 36ml 7th gen. Depending on the temperature I fluctuate the 7th gen. When I use straight slip I use 150 Oz ro water 1 Oz isopropyl and 12ml 7th gen. I have been playing with my solution with 7th gen for the past 2 years😳 I keep a written record of all my different solutions and I think it is dialed in finally. I have not had the greatest experience with straight slip, but really have not played around with it enough. In the winter I wrap my kegs in car seat heaters to try to keep my solution warm. @@EncorePPFtint
Definitely. Here is the pink squeegee: amzn.to/48BqU84 Also here is the black squeegee I use most of the time: amzn.to/3S1MqgU The pink one is a bit stiffer than the black one. 👍
No, not for the rear bumper. Even if there was, 2015 is pretty old, and I'm not sure I'd trust it. I did use the kit on the door. Well, I did edit it a bit in the computer before cutting it. That video will come out within the next month.
You just have to get in there and do it! :) It's the only way to learn. Try stretching some mirrors. You'll get to learn the limits of the film. Then, move on to the harder parts. You'll get it. How many cars have you installed PPF on?
@@EncorePPFtintNot too many... this spring i started with a RS6.. but we spoke a couple of times. Last car that i finished this monday was a GLE 53AMG. I was quite pleased(and the customer as well) with the results. But looking at this bumper it is obvious that there are so many things i have to learn :)
That's right, I remember talking to you. Did that AMG have the night package with all of the gloss black trim on the bumper? That really adds to the time during the installation.
@@EncorePPFtintTook me a full week from washing, decontamination, some touch-ups and after some polish and then the full install working alone. And of course how else could it be other than black trim package. The lower front lip proved to be a little challenging... Thanks for the videos... and happy holydays
@texfromro Happy holidays to you as well. We charge extra for the night package. Hopefully, you got extra money as well. 👍🏻😁 I work alone as well. It's nice to have a helper sometimes, but it doesn't work for making videos of the installation.

I love the videos you put out, I also watch TWI, but you have a lot more videos on bulk, which is how I want to primarily focus on

I just did a hood and a roof and it turned out that I have to do it again 😩

Thank you.

So passionate and so much patience. Thanks bro
I appreciate that! I like that installing PPF makes me use my brain. With window tinting, I don't even have to think about it anymore.

I will do it soon after the installation of my rear bumper in carbon by Scara👍 very nice work
Thank you! Very cool. Those carbon fiber body parts look amazing. Hopefully, the video gave you some good insights as to what you have coming up. :)
Awesome, thats turning out great. Thanks for these videos 🎉
Thank you for watching them and leaving comments. It's nice to interact. 👍🏻
This is gonna be good.
It's a fun one! 😂 I think I mentioned in the video that I wasn't looking forward to the installation. 🤣😂 There is a lot to pay attention to!
that's not a easy bumper. great job mate!

What brand PPF do you install?
appreciate that! i use Hexis, suntech, some xpel, etc. we mainly on color change, commercial wraps tho@@EncorePPFtint
Can you tell me please what you mix with water @12:50 ?

Crazy bumper
Yeah, it was a fun one. lol. I wasn't looking forward to doing it. 😂👍
Where can I get that pink squeegee?
Definitely. Here is the pink squeegee: amzn.to/48BqU84
Also here is the black squeegee I use most of the time: amzn.to/3S1MqgU
The pink one is a bit stiffer than the black one. 👍
@@EncorePPFtint Thanks! Did you cut the corner off the pink one?
@@tysonerisman5590 Yes. I cut it off with my OLFA knife. In my pouch I always keep one with an angle cut and one with out.
No kit made for this bumper?
No, not for the rear bumper. Even if there was, 2015 is pretty old, and I'm not sure I'd trust it. I did use the kit on the door. Well, I did edit it a bit in the computer before cutting it. That video will come out within the next month.
what ppf is that boss? thanks in advance...Dirty
Hey, I used PremiumShield in this video. What brand do you use?
Is it Xpel or Suntek or?
This is PremiumShield NextGen. I really like this PPF. Do you install PPF? If so, what do you use?
Hi brand ppf name please
We were using PremiumShield in this video. 👍🏻
I definitely need to learn how to treat the film a little more manly. I'm too scared right now of doing something stupid 😁
