I was fine when you scratched the bonnet....I was like 'Yeah, big deal...very light scratches...blah blah blah'. And then you went at the side mirror... and I had my hand over my mouth in shock!!! 'Jesus, stop scraping the mirror!!! Are you mad. OMG the damage you are doing....Oh no he's doing more!!!! When will the madness end!'.... And then you just poured hot water over it! Bloody Awesome! Great video...Great demonstration. Thank you!
My new i3S is in the shop ( not your shop sorry 😢) getting XPEL PPF applied to the front end at the moment . My old i3 had so many stone chips and I wanted to keep this new one nice, I’m glad to see this demonstration - looks great!
Great video. Really amazing effect. Sadly your shop is a bit far away from south germany. I get a new model M3P in Grey Metallic in 2 weeks. Probably look to do PPF to mine as well here in Germany. Enjoy watching your videos.
Nice 👌 thanks for another great update video mite look at getting this done as ceramic coated 3 is no good to stop stone chips we had some on way home 😱😡😓
The material is quite cheap, it’s plastic transparent foul. So first one is a lie! Second the labor is expensive as it takes many hours to finish details cutting so it isn’t visible to make it look perfect. I think car industry should adopt this in factory.
I'm not sure where you get your material from but it's not cheap. And we mentioned it's very labour intensive and that's why this doesn't come cheap. We'll make a video to show that. We use Xpel PPF. Not sure why all your comments on our videos are negative. You are more than welcome to come visit us when the lockdown has ended and see for yourself. We've been doing this for quite a few years now and our reputation is well known in UK. Have a lovely day!
Probably not ideal but the principal of the scratch was to test the ppf. It all looks absolutely awesome again now afterwards so it must melt or morf with the ppf. It’s a different product for the ppf areas... but other than that. It’s all magical wizardry 💁♂️
@@RSEV Thanks I'm receiving my red model 3 in early February, so good to know, get it protected earlier on, are there any particular colours that have thicker or better quality paint or are they all the same? I have heard the multi coat paints have better paint is this just a myth? Thanks again
@@allenfazer the red on the model 3 with no chrome looks fantastic I think. I almost went for it. It’s more resilient too, but all Tesla paint (and many other manufacturers) seems more fragile now. Red is hardest to ever do paint repairs on.
@@RSEV Thanks for the advise, yeah the red with the new black chrome delete looks great, I do detailing on my cars as a hobby, I'm going to give the car a full polish and cover in Car Pro UK edition 3.0 I would like to do a PPF wrap in the areas same as your car but Its just too expensive so I'll just have to hope for the best, thanks again for the advise and keep up the great videos 👍
Hi there, New to Teslas. There is a rumor that because of low quality paint it is sometimes problematic to remove the ppf from the car, any truth to that?
@@RSEV I don't believe so. I don't believe rear fog lights are required in the US, so we don't have one and instead have two reverse lights. It looks like this was Tesla's "solution" for the UK (and other areas that require a rear fog light.

I was genuinely scared of the bonnet test 😂
But all was fine.
Awesome. Its so British. Arggghhh my car is scratched! Don't worry, I'll stick the kettle on! That'll make it all better
😂 great answer

I'm thinking about getting a long range but barely got 2k in the bank:)

PPF or Vinyl is the question....
Wow, you car looks great with that done! 😍
It does and hopefully after each wash looks just as good again!
How much did the PPF and ceramic cost Richard?
The PPF is self healing but wouldn’t you have taken the ceramic coating off in those areas?
Probably not ideal but the principal of the scratch was to test the ppf.
It all looks absolutely awesome again now afterwards so it must melt or morf with the ppf. It’s a different product for the ppf areas... but other than that. It’s all magical wizardry 💁♂️
Is this like Xpel ultimate plus? Unbelievable.
So the ceramic coating is on top of the ppf, so when it is scratched, does this remove the ceramic coating on top?
Did you say you didn't PPF/ceramic the whole car (left out the doors). Doesn't that create differential finish? How much for whole car (M3)?
Whats the average cost to install PPF though?
By pouring hot water does that thin the film, as it stretched to some degree when applied.
The film is not stretched when applied. This is not applied in the same way as a vinyl wrap. It doesn’t thin the film at all 👍
Car looks amazing, what was the paint thickness like on this new 2021 model, paint was really thin on older models
Just as thin. In 500 miles I was starting to get chips despite being very cautious so this is especially important on the side sills in my opinion

@@allenfazer I can confirm the red looks great with the black
Nice one!
Hi there,
New to Teslas. There is a rumor that because of low quality paint it is sometimes problematic to remove the ppf from the car, any truth to that?
Big paint quality and thickness test video coming but no not had issue removing ppf
@@RSEV cheers from Israel, great channel many followers here 😀
Can you get PPF in different colors?
You can get many colours just as a vehicle wrap.
As a rough cost how much would that cost on my my MR LR?
Depends how much required for paint correction and what level of ceramic coating but can be c. £2,500 for such a job - ppf and ceramic
Does it survive getting keyed?
With ppf, yes probably...
It looks like one of your reverse lights is out! :(
They’re all like that. Annoying is it... same on model S
@@RSEV that is very odd. Maybe it's a UK thing. My 2021 3 in the US has two reverse lights.
@@gotamd do you have a rear fog light? That’s what uses the other side
@@RSEV I don't believe so. I don't believe rear fog lights are required in the US, so we don't have one and instead have two reverse lights. It looks like this was Tesla's "solution" for the UK (and other areas that require a rear fog light.
It’s pretty common solution. My recently sold STi Impreza was the same.
For the love of God, use a heat gun instead of boiling water.
