3M is a brand that sells PPF.

You cheap out, you get what you pay for. This is all about the prep/application, the product is basically the same whether 3M/Xpel/Suntek etc.

Looks like he got his shitty spray painted Matt black car wrapped.....

My car wrap has very clean edges, no bubbles, even gaps where it can't be "folded over".
Yes there are a few areas where it had to be cut and lapped, but this is expected when you have harsh curves
Send me a message with your phone number and I can send you some pics if you want.

Everywhere else I looked, I think the wrap started at 1250$+

If your car is 10-100k, I would say his services are excellent

If your driving a 500k Ferrari, and are "that guy" that looks at his car from 6", and is looking for perfection, then find a shop that is gonna charge you 4x the price

I recently had my new Lexus ppf and ceramic coated by Roman at RDI Detailing. Great job. I don’t see any of the film on the edges of the panel. Price was competitie. I would highly recommend giving him a call. My parents likely bring their Tesla to RDI Detailing.

I ended up getting my car PPF'd at Speed Projects Lab. You have to look real close to see that its been wrapped and you do see some gaps on the bottom of the mirrors, but overall, I am happy with how it came out.

Saw your car last week in Richmond. Where did you get it done? I want to wrapped my LC500 coupe. What is your experience with Vancity Vinyl?

YOU GOT A LC500!?!?!?! we best friends instantly now!

I got mine done at wrap workz. It took over a month and im sure i overpaid. It was almost 10k for this wrap because of the limited edition inoztek material.

Wrap-Workz Aesthetic Decors

Go to Vancity Vinyl, ask for Jacky (their boss) and say the fat guy with the blue LC500 referred you. They did my brake calipers and hardwired my dashcam and did a fantastic job.
