Brining this topic back....
What do you guys think of this? Detailer is charging me $1550 for suntek, includes everything listed below: Engine bay detail, interior detail to remove any grime or film from transport etc thorough exterior decontamination, correct the paint to remove any defects and bring out the more gloss, coat the paint/wheels. Apply film to front bumper, hood, mirror caps and fenders. Is that a good price or am I getting shafted? |

Seems fine if paint correction is included.
How long have you been bare? Practices before doing this? I'm prepping for my clear bray DIY, buying the materials this weekend. 60"x10' roll of Xpel Ultimate is $290.

I don't have the car yet but it's first on my to do lists. He's a acquaintance of mine but I don't really trust anyone. I've seen some of his work and it's top notch. He does a lot of high end cars. I'm not sure if he owns the business with a friend of his but they both do this type of work full time.

Sounds like installer error, and not so much the film.

could be but the xpel guy does all of McLaren's cars, so I'm sure he knows what he is doing.

Just wondering if you ended up doing your self install of the XPEL Ultimate and how that went?
Did you post any pictures?

We are certified installers of both films, each film is different. Xpel has a 10 year warranty vs. SunTek's 5 year warranty, SunTek offers better looks and gloss but Xpel is thicker.
That is an installation issue and actually covered under the warranty. The film should not lift or delaminate over time. |

I'm happy with my XPEL so far. Only been on for few weeks, but exceeded my expectations overall fit and looks. Paid $1600 for full front hood, bumper, lights, and mirrors. Not cheap, but feeling more comfortable about driving on the highway is definitely worth it.

For the right price the installer takes off the panels so maybe he does this for these ultra expensive cars but they do not feel like charging a premium price for car that costs a fraction of a new McLaren.

Anyone heard of or have experience with the Premium Shield Paint Protection Film product?
I heard it's the guy that initially developed the 3M film then once his non compete was over, created a new/better film for cars.

Sticker City, wouldn't go to anyone other than Dean. He's done phenomenal work on all of my cars.
