Just one thing. I agree the film works. We hit a full grown road gator (truck recap) at highway speed. When I was finally able to get off the road the only thing that happened was some quite large black goop on the XPel. There was no damage to the bumper, or the film, and black marks were easily removed. I can't imaging the damage to the bumper had the XPel not been there.

Good day Josh; thank you for the informative content, as a car enthusiast I welcome content that enhances my knowledge of car care; keep up the great work.

[@BlackoutTinting]

Awesome, thank you! We'll keep it coming.

[@MyGuyKirby]

Thanks and the owner was smart to remove it early as so much better than when it has aged.

[@BlackoutTinting]

💯

[@redasekkat9168]

Hello, i hope you doing good, thank you for all the tips, i am a car painter and need your opinion about this case, a hood was painted and ppf applied after 12hours of painting, the company that applied the ppf did need to peel and edge after applying the ppf, the paint did peel from that edge, from your point of view do you think applying the ppf on a 12 hours paint is not recommended and you think it is still fresh or it is okay, what is a percentage of paint peeling of a painted part after applying ppf, thank you.

[@Komatsu355a]

Great information! Would the same procedure apply for removing xpel PPF from plastic headlight housings?

[@BlackoutTinting]

Yes but just as you need to be careful of pulling paint you need to be careful of delaminating

[@holden2260]

​@@BlackoutTintingI'm painting my project car soon and thinking about a ppf to protect the paint due to harsh weather and long distance drives, after about 5-10 years would it then take the paint off or would you remove the ppf every 2-3 years so it's easier to take off? 🤔 thanks much appreciated

[@BlackoutTinting]

If the car is garage kept I would expect 7 to 10 years before removal. If its a repaint, make sure the paint is baked and fully cured, and make sure the prep work is perfect or it will pull paint later.

[@riceburner4747]

Great video, Josh.. Sells more product/jobs when ppl see videos like this. And take a little longer w/showing results. Looked fantastic! 🙌👍

[@BlackoutTinting]

We have high standards, thanks!

[@shhhpark]

Hi! Thanks for this video. Currently considering PPF for my new vehicle and was wondering if there should be a concern about uneven paint wear. I'm doing a full front and rocker panel setup but most ofo the doors/back will be uncovered. Would appreciate any info!

[@BlackoutTinting]

Overtime, the areas that aren't covered will probably end up with swirl marks, darker paint will make it more obvious, but since you're doing the full hood it won't be as obvious. The angle most hoods are at can emphasize it. You will be protected from most of the rock chips though because your rocker panels will be covered. Hopefully they are doing a small spot behind the rear wheel that rock chips like to end up.

[@mitchellbarnow1709]

Have you seen the paint on a repainted section sticking to the film when it’s pulled off? Thank you so much 😊

[@BlackoutTinting]

We've seen it all. The worst is when a body shop repaints panels but doesn't realize ppf is installed and blends into it

[@yzmoto80]

“We’ve seen it all”. 🙄 You’re not old enough to have seen it all my friend. But, congratulations for having a successful business.

[@BlackoutTinting]

It was a figure of speech, not a literal expression, but thanks for the kind words.

[@MrFireman164]

@@BlackoutTintinglol oops 😬

[@AKHKCZplus]

Due to easy removal vinyl wrap is generally reserved for front fiberglass bumpers. Vinyl is easy peasy to take off without doing damage (via blades, heat gun, 3m Erasers) to the paint, or fiberglass. What’s on the hood (9 out of 10 times) is thin 3M, or off branded, plastic ppf. Yes, taking vinyl of an ISF, IS350 F, and M3 bumper was simple. Having to take (what most vehicles have) thin PPF off a steel hood is a whole didn’t experience. To so so requires hours of time, elbow grease, heat guns, 3M Erasers, lots of plastic blades, $30 bottles of Rapid Remover leaving scattered tiny pieces of sticky plastic wrap all over the ground, & on the bottom of your shoes. Unless it’s a certain color, or a fake looking CF wrap nobody puts clear vinyl around hoods, rocker, or quarter panels. It’s 3M plastic.

How much of the clear coat do your guys shave off when compound buffing it?

[@BlackoutTinting]

The paint correctors have a little device they use, we should do a video on it

[@zachjungles8401]

Do the edges collect build up or yellowing overtime on partials?

[@Synthetech]

at 5:20 the line across the hood.. is that a reflection of the sky with a jet trail?

[@BlackoutTinting]

Looks like it. This shop is right next to an airport

[@ostbob4108]

Is there a way to prevent dirt from accumulating along the films edge after installation????

[@BlackoutTinting]

heat the edges well and don't let it accumulate

[@jimmarcuz08]

What do you use to remove the remaining adhesive?

[@BlackoutTinting]

An adhesives specific remover. Koch chemie makes a pretty powerful one, but be careful around plastics and trim

[@marcg1964]

Excellent information.

[@BlackoutTinting]

Thanks Marc!

[@arcsound]

Has anyone had a problem with black mold under partial PPF installations? I have a. white 2012 Toyota that had factory applied PPF, which now had black mold under the film, all over and evenly distributed, meaning it didn't start at the edges and work towards the middle, it had to have diffused through the PPF(!) Has anyone experienced this?

[@MyGuyKirby]

Common problem on all PPF on all vehicles and RVs, that is not black mold but it is common mildew, just ugly. Working on a 2014 Tundra now and saw the same on a 2012 Avalon. It likely will not remove like shown in this video, it has too much age and is not flexible.

[@tjb8383]

I have that on 2018 Toyota. Help

[@MyGuyKirby]

@@tjb8383 Sorry to hear it is no longer clear which indicates that it will be a pain to remove in pieces rather than the steam and pull off method. The wheel method used for removing stripe decals is what my body shop recommends and uses. Get a few quotes from your local body shop first and then try DIY. At least the body shop can touch up the clear or any paint that pulls off, none I hope.

[@paulff3]

Any issue touching up rock chips before re-install?

[@BlackoutTinting]

We do it from time to time when a customer requests it. It doesn’t always look better unless it is a GOOD TOUCHERUPPER

[@preetkanwargill9110]

Hello Brother 🙏🏼….I have heard that fresh factory paint needs to breathe for at least 3-4 months (evaporating some gases/chemicals from freshly applied paint)…..Naturally, the question arises that is it recommendable to install PPF on a Brand new car on a very next day just after getting delivery? Or it is just a myth that something with paint could go wrong on a freshly painted new car!!…..and one should wait for 3-4 months before installing PPF!!!…?

[@BlackoutTinting]

Usually factory paint is baked and cured. We rarely have a paint problem with a new car, except maybe a Ferrari here and there 😂

[@preetkanwargill9110]

@@BlackoutTinting thank you for replying back. …..So new Ferrari’s paints are not cured properly !!?

[@BlackoutTinting]

Not really sure, but they sometimes have problems

[@preetkanwargill9110]

@@BlackoutTinting How long you suggest brother to wait for re-painted car for PPF with paint NEITHER cured NOR baked…?

so there no risk if i pull out when its hot outside?*

[@BlackoutTinting]

there's always some risk, kinda like scratching lottery tickets.

[@DM-xf2iv]

I’m thinking about doing front end PPF on my new Tesla. Do I have to worry about my paint being different colors after the PPF is removed in 5 years?

[@BlackoutTinting]

Nope! xpel allows the paint to fade the same rate as the rest of the car.

[@DM-xf2iv]

Thanks for the reply!!

[@mocheen4837]

I wrapped the front end and rockers of my Model Y with ppf. Four years ago I only wrapped the bumper of my Model 3 and there are chips on my hood. The bumper has three spots where the rock went through the ppf.

[@DeanoOutDoors]

Can PPF be removed without destroying the vinyl graphics?

[@BlackoutTinting]

It really varies, but usually if we are using steam we can save graphics.

[@richardviren]

you do not speak loud enough.
