Ceramic Coating & PPF Cost

[SSWIM]

Ceramic coating helps sooooo much when washing your vehicle. It's worth the money if you wash your car yourself. Just blow dry the car with a electric leaf blower or master blaster.

Absolutely. Really helps when the vehicle is black. Makes owning black almost reasonable. Haha.

Agreed! Ive had several black trucks but this is the first one I had ceramic coated and it's well worth the money in my opinion. Definitely a lot easier to clean and keep clean and man it's such a deep shine!

I’m thinking about getting PPF on mine in the next few weeks. I was quoted about $3500 for their stage 1 package. Hits all the most susceptible areas , full front end, hood, fender flares, a pillars, b pillars. This is my daily driver and first vehicle I will have done. It is tough to swallow the cost but I know this will make things easier with the rough road conditions here in Michigan. Peace of mind too, I hate looking at all those rock chips on my old black truck...

No reason to do full hood. Its 24 in from front hood to vent. Look at your hood, it's pretty flat from the vent up to the winshield. You could probably do 24 in hood, fenders, bumper for 1500. Fender flares are expensive because you throw away so much film. I just wrapped the lower fender flares. Make sure they do bumper and grill in matte.

Unless you have a light colored truck, in which case all the dirt sticks to the edges of the clear bra and it looks like big scratches. The whole idea is that it’s invisible. If you can deal with what appear to be massive scratches at the edge of the clear bra, you can deal with stone chips.

Wondering if the full bumper is even worth it at this point...

I've got PPF and Ceramic being done next week. Full Hood, Fenders, lower door rockers, mirrors, headlights and headlight surrounds, A pillars and strip above windshield to start of sunroof. Basically all Red Paint areas you can see from the front of the truck + the door rockers. Decided no bumper. I may get an aftermarket bumper at some point anyway.

Calling out xpel rep on frf, sam and pbr have declared your entire database of patterns and 1000 of countless hours designing partial hood and fender patterns worthless. Time to shutdown xpel dap.

Enjoy the knife cuts in your new paint. Hope your installer has ninja like blade skills.
