Discussion on how to keep your car shining bright and make them heads turn..
Hey guys, just picking up my new car soon.
i want to take care of it as much as possible. looking for opinions on paint protections or is it even worth it.
they claim they have self healing properties.. products such as :
Just had ppf done on my 2018 GLE63s. Cost around 1000 from PH on Kingsway and they use xpel. I got my bumper and rocker areas covered. Can't even tell it's there and it's well worth it. Especially for me since my truck is black. For added protection I had my detailer put on 3 coats of ceramic coating as well. Protect your possession.
I would probably wash the car before going but I presume they rinse the area down first before applying (to remove any particles that might've fallen onto the car while in transit)?

^ I went inside the shop last week and they had a Lamborghini avenatotor fully wrapped in expel. Ronnie is the guy who wraps but his dad is there to look after the shop. I've tried everyday since last Friday to get a hold of Ronnie to get a quote for my car. Starting to get frustrated that he's never there. He's either very busy or just no follow up effort. I recently phoned protex and gloss works and they gave same day quotes for my vehicle.
Anyone ppf over old ceramic coating? I've heard of people who coat on top of ppf, but what about in the cases that ceramic coating has been on for a few years and now thinking of ppf.

Depends on how old the coating is. If its recent, say less than 12 months, I'd definitely give it a good polish, especially near the edges. Let the installer know so he can prep accordingly. PPF's abilty to stick could be affected by the coating.
