I love the level of detail you take to prepare the car and install the film. If I lived closer to you I would definitely bring my Model Y to you after I accept delivery.
I would say this is cleanest and detail wrapping I have seen how they cleaned the car than tar removing before wrapping well done. If you are based in UK please let me know thank you...
Hi James, This will vary widely depending on location, quality of the installation and what product is being installed. This specific installation with the STEK DynoPrism film at our Austin Texas location costs $8,500 to install. Expect the range to be $5500 - $9,500 for a Model Y.
I'm taking delivery of a 2022 Model Y Performance, White in color in late January and would like a full car PPF. I am in the Atlanta GA area. How do I find someone to do this that I know will do a job like your team does ?
Xtreme Edge Professional Auto Detail in Garden Grove or Rhino Films & Detailing in Huntington Beach. I know both of the owners. Highly recommended.@@ashleytran7123
Honestly, we are just using a normal one you could get off Amazon, the important part of it is the power washer, and the fact that we are using deionized water.
Excuse my ignorance but how does removing all that trim not void the car’s warranty? You get a leak... Tesla’s going to ask who the hell removed the trim! Getting a ppf done. Not sure if I should expect or want this sort of overkill.
Portlandia, solid question. Great part is - every client has a choice on how far we take our installs. This customer in particular wanted a few edges and seams as possible so we walked the car and discussed an approach. That said, we only remove parts that easily remove and reinstall without risk or requiring any special tools, but it's always a choice for the client to determine how far we go with each installation.
I had that same cringe reaction too. Pulling all that OEM trim and weather seal. A beautiful job, by not the path I would of chosen. South Florida is not really bad on a car’s finish either, especially if garage kept.
It looks that way, but all of these parts are very easy to remove and clip back in or screw in. We focus on only removing low risk parts from any vehicle. This means if it breaks easily, doesn’t re-install well or has a risk of failure after re-install, we leave the part on the car. Teslas are very simply constructed vehicles, so they lend well to this kind of disassembly for quality installs. After over 1000 Teslas, we have had zero come back with issues of rattling, parts failing etc.
Thanks Stephen! When we started the shop I had a friend who had been installing for over 10 years and he had multiple plotters and said the one we have currently is the best choice. Cost is reasonable and it’s a workhorse. We use a GCC Jaguar VLX 72” and it’s been running strong for 4 years. We maintain the hell out of it, keep it clean, disassemble it often to clean it, replace rollers and parts to keep it new. I’d recommend it at half the cost of a Graphtec.
Thanks Erin! I would get a ceramic coating over the PPF if you want easy maintenance, and higher gloss. Big fan of coatings. For DC area, try All American Paint Protection, heard good things about those guys.
Hi! Thank you so much. We are located in Austin, Texas. Happy to help you protect and stealth out your Model Y. Check out our channel for a few examples of them. A full matte would run $7200, same process as you see here.
It did not take it from gloss to satin, however, we film did add more metallic with a color shift to the pearl. At the very end of the video we captured a ton of close ups of the install, including the gloss and the colors in the metallic. STEK Prism is a fun film for Teslas!
This one in particular is $7500. If you’re using STEK Prism - it’s an expensive film so this should be about right. If standard PPF, $5500-6500 for a quality shop to do it is about right.
Outstanding attention to detail. I am curious how many years of experience the particular installer has. He did an awesome job. What’s your opinion of Xpel Ultimate Plus?
Thanks so much. Definitely something we pride ourselves on. Jeff has about 6 years experience, Abby has 2 years but installs like she has 5 years experience. We love XPEL film, it’s our primary product. We’ve tried just about all of them. XPEL is most forgiving, sticks when you need it to (especially wrapped edges), and has amazing support and more importantly, customer demand for the product is strong due to high market awareness.
It really depends on the needs of your vehicle and your budget. A Full Front Package is great for alot of the every day damage that we see. However it wont protect against door dings, rock chips on the rockers, ect.
Hello! It’s a bunch of parts we sourced across the internet to build what we needed. Electric commercial grade 3.5GPM pressure washer, retractable high pressure hose reel, MTM gun, standard foam cannon plus IK Sprayers for the chemicals
That could be an option, but our focus is to only remove parts that are low risk to remove and come off easily or need to be removed for a clean install. Some shops remove the bumpers as well - we just don’t see the reward in going that far as it has no added value to the install.
@@authenticdetails Upstate NewYork specifically orange county. Really loved the work and detail that was put in, really makes myself as a owner more comfortable.
Is that the self healing PPF? Also are you guys located anywhere near Maryland? I'm going to be getting a Model Y and want all of this done to it to keep it protected!
It is self healing PPF, but we are not in the Maryland area. Send us an email and I’ll recommend a good shop in your area - authenticservice@authenticdetails.com
Adrian, we do often add a ceramic coating to the PPF as it does help make cleaning easier and adds UV protection to the film. However, you have to be careful as many Ceramic Coatings have solvents that will eat through the PPF topcoat - either using a PPF specific coating or a light coating (single layer, 1 year type of coating) is recommended.
@@adrianstrong3312 for our shop we include a PPF specific coating. However, on DynoPrism, it has a nano ceramic topcoat so other ceramic coatings don’t adhere to it very well.
@@authenticdetails Music was fine but would be better to hear the installer and the process. I'm curious what solution he was spraying under the film, i assume its a soap solution to make it easier to work with. But its nice to hear their process through out.
@@redonkulus agree. We’ve thought about making a few in-depth install videos just so people can see how it’s done. It’s certainly a learned skill to make the install look great. The solution is soapy water, basically a few drops of baby shampoo and filtered water.
Absolutely best video on PPF application on TH-cam!
Amazing. I want to get my MY done by you guys one day 👏 👏
This really helps understand the effort required for "price to value". TY!
You had to be in TX 😡😤😁😁
Like the detail attention of the quality of work, I hope I can find someone the same here in Las Vegas
Great PPF application! But 14:14.... Oof, that panel misalignment
I love the level of detail you take to prepare the car and install the film. If I lived closer to you I would definitely bring my Model Y to you after I accept delivery.
Thanks so much. We pour our passion into these projects :)
Awesome cinematography on this video!!
Nice For us Texas owners.. this looks like my car and it def could use this extra beautification..
Wow!! Very nice!!
Thank you! 😊
Awesome video! Great music choice with the cinematography really brought out how masterful these folks are.
Hi,
I want to do PPF for my tesla Y like the one you did. How much is going to cost? And how long does it take? Thanks

Your team does great work Brad !!!!
Amazing job!
Amazing detail work, bravo. Would you recommend a shop in NJ ?
I’d check out Dynamic Tint. I haven’t seen their work first hand but have heard good things.
can you recommend a shop in Dallas that does the quality of work that you do? Thanks

are the taillights tinted in this video? they look dark at the end. amazing attention to detail!
Yes they are! So are the headlights :)
This video was relaxing
Amazing job! Can you recommend shops in SoCal?
Yes of course! Not sure if I'm too late but I'd recommend a few. Is this Los Angeles or San Diego?
@Authentic Details can you recommend some in LA/OC? Thanks!
Xtreme Edge Professional Auto Detail in Garden Grove or Rhino Films & Detailing in Huntington Beach. I know both of the owners. Highly recommended.@@ashleytran7123
Nice wrap where are you located ?
I wish u guys were in south Florida. By the way how much does this cost?
I did not see the price for the whole job done in this video?
What soap sprayer do you guys use ?
Honestly, we are just using a normal one you could get off Amazon, the important part of it is the power washer, and the fact that we are using deionized water.

Very nice work
Who would you recommend in Seattle are for my new Model Y all black
Is check out Metropolitan Detail - great work from those guys!
at 2:25.. the car in the back, is it midnight silver with the stealth wrap?
It is!
you guys almost disassembed the whole car... any rattle sound after install back?
It looks that way, but all of these parts are very easy to remove and clip back in or screw in. We focus on only removing low risk parts from any vehicle. This means if it breaks easily, doesn’t re-install well or has a risk of failure after re-install, we leave the part on the car.

After over 1000 Teslas, we have had zero come back with issues of rattling, parts failing etc.
Random thought but was there paint correction done prior to applying the PPF?
Great work and impressive output.
I’m planning for a Model Y Red and would like to have PPF. Do you guys locate somewhere near to Illinois?
Which place in Las Vegas is best for PPF?
Did you tint the taillights and headlights on that?
Hi GTA - we did. We used a tinted PPF to create the look. What do you think of it?
@@authenticdetails Looks great, unfortunately soon to be illegal where I live - Illinois.
holy shiet next level install
amazin work
Thanks Luis!
Awesome guys. What plotter do you use?
Thanks Stephen! When we started the shop I had a friend who had been installing for over 10 years and he had multiple plotters and said the one we have currently is the best choice.

Is a great video 👍🏻I want to learn ppf what do you recommend can you do training?
Honestly, the best way is to work for a high volume shop in your area and start from the bottom.
Great work!!! any shops in the DC/Maryland area you would recommend for PPF? Also if you get PPF is it necessary to also get ceramic coating?
Thanks Erin! I would get a ceramic coating over the PPF if you want easy maintenance, and higher gloss. Big fan of coatings.
For DC area, try All American Paint Protection, heard good things about those guys.
nice clean work :)
Thanks so much!
Excellent job.. where you guys located ? Hopefully im received my model Y performance next month . Whats the price range on full PPF “ Satin “ ?

Excellent with you where in east coast
We can recommend some good installers for you. What city are you in?
@@authenticdetails outside of Boston
Did the PPF take it from a glossy to a more satin type finish?
Yes
Thank you.

My bad
Do you guys have any shops in LA?
Hi Arsen, we do not but check out PFS - they do great work there!
where do you buy those towels?
The drying towels?
@@authenticdetails yes the orange one, when you’re tucking the film on the hood
@@sosvlogz3408 - this is a CarPro product. Should be available on CarPros website. Highly recommend them for wrapping edges!
Can I ask what's the cost for this PPF job? Just wanted to know what the expectation is when I get mine done.

Are you based in UK
anyone you recommend in orlando area?
Is full ppf needed or will full front be enough?
It really depends on the needs of your vehicle and your budget. A Full Front Package is great for alot of the every day damage that we see. However it wont protect against door dings, rock chips on the rockers, ect.
I need that car wash spray set-up. What is it?
Hello! It’s a bunch of parts we sourced across the internet to build what we needed. Electric commercial grade 3.5GPM pressure washer, retractable high pressure hose reel, MTM gun, standard foam cannon plus IK Sprayers for the chemicals
I was surprised that the lights wasn’t removed first.
That could be an option, but our focus is to only remove parts that are low risk to remove and come off easily or need to be removed for a clean install. Some shops remove the bumpers as well - we just don’t see the reward in going that far as it has no added value to the install.
Seen this shop is located in Texas. Do you have a shopnin NewYork?
Hi Omari! We do not, but there are a few good XPEL shops in the state. What part of NY are you in?

Price?
Wow definitely going the extra mile. Get what you pay for!
So this cost 7500$ normal paint job cost a lot less then that lol
Any associates in Toronto?
Hi Ahmed. We do not, but I can connect you with some folks.
scares me a bit when I see that is need to disassembly a lot of parts :S
Helps to have Tesla techs helping us out :)Tesla’s are a lot like Legos to work on, very straight forward cars :)
With a PPF, do you recommend a ceramic coating to cover it or do you believe that with proper care, things like discoloration wouldn't happen?
Adrian, we do often add a ceramic coating to the PPF as it does help make cleaning easier and adds UV protection to the film. However, you have to be careful as many Ceramic Coatings have solvents that will eat through the PPF topcoat - either using a PPF specific coating or a light coating (single layer, 1 year type of coating) is recommended.
@@authenticdetails Thanks for the reply! Would that 7500 estimated price include the coating or is that just PPF?
@@adrianstrong3312 for our shop we include a PPF specific coating. However, on DynoPrism, it has a nano ceramic topcoat so other ceramic coatings don’t adhere to it very well.
These people are like car surgeons. Sounds easy to wrap a car but hard to be as perfect as them.
This makes me nervous 😓
I just realized these people do more prep work for a wrap than MAACO does for a so called paint job -LOL
Nice to see you lifting the car PROPERLY! I saw another detailer video using a single jack. *CRINGE*
and here I am looking for PPF DIY... smh
Good video, terrible music.
👍🏻
I’d rather deal with the rock chips. Nice work though.
WATCH MUTED.
Interesting feedback. Genuinely interested in what’s driving that.

@@Kanuboddu As if everyone has the same taste of music. Whats the point lol....
@@authenticdetails Music was fine but would be better to hear the installer and the process. I'm curious what solution he was spraying under the film, i assume its a soap solution to make it easier to work with. But its nice to hear their process through out.
