How to install Paint Protection Film on the Tesla Model Y Bumper

[@shanvenable6428]

This was the best PPF video for a Tesla DIY install I have seen yet! I know it’s not as easy as it seemed watching you, but your tips on aligning, and moving from one section at a time are great confidence builders. Very nice tutorial!

[@wrapid9706]

Thank you for the kind compliments! We are very glad we were able to help you out!

[@Mwwww79]

Excellent work - both on the installation and on the video.

[@wrapid9706]

Thank you so much! I am glad it was helpful

[@cjonesplay1]

Looks great. Thanks. I’ll be doing this in about a week or two. I figure its like a big screen protector. If i mess it up . I can do it again. Still save more money vs paying to get it done.

[@timorson4129]

Great skills and that does not look at all easy to do, thank you for putting the video out there and sharing your knowledge.

[@youkrizZz]

Rrreally good video! Like it 👍🏼 Do you know how the ppf edges look like after 2-3 years specially on a white car? I have seen ppf edges that catch dirt over time you cannot clean because dirt is moving a bit under the ppf…

[@wrapid9706]

Hey! If they are sealed down properly they will not lift and collect dirt, but in cases where there is dirt, it can be either cleaned or trimmed back

[@Emergenttheory]

Thank you

[@ajuker]

what brand is the steamer that you use? and is it absolutely necessary?

[@lukimy2704]

Awesome video man, will do it today!

[@1gabrielmorales]

Great video! Question, any links for the steamer and the bottle you’re using? Thanks

[@johnhahn1877]

Very nice work! I’ve seen several of these Tesla front bumper installs. You make it look easy but I’m sure it’s not. I would guess the approach for a first timer should be slow and patience with lots of soapy water, correct? I would think a beginner would tend to panic if things aren’t looking right instead of simply peeling it back and spraying it and trying again is this also a correct observation? If you keep the PPF wet can you keep working it for as long as it takes or will it tend to start stretching, drying, etc?

[@wrapid9706]

For sure slow and patience is key. I wouldn’t use too much soap as then you’ll be fighting it sticking. That’s correct as long as it’s wet you can still work on it

Where can I buy the PPF by bulk?

[@thedetailerr]

Super easy method man nice video 👍

[@Ozzie4Para]

Installing PPF is anything but easy. This is something that is best left up to the professionals that do this for a living. Trust me, I have watched some KZbin videos where people bought the pre-cut kits and did them theirselves. Most of the ones I watched looked horrible. Screw that.....

[@thedetailerr]

@@Ozzie4Para I own a shop, I’m pretty familiar, I like to watch others and their techniques etc

[@desmondfong2098]

Very Professional! What brand of steamer are you using?

[@wrapid9706]

That steamer actually broke on us and we are using Wagner now

[@HockeyPurist]

Thanks for this video. You gave me the confidence to install PPF on my model y. Can you post the ppf product you installed? By chance, are you in the Bay Area?

[@Joeseigh]

We used Xpel Ultimate Plus and we are actually located in canada

@@Joeseigh are you from wrap ID and the person in the video?

[@Cr7pt0r]

I have a full wrap for the entire car and the sensors are covered and work just fine. Why not cover the sensors?

[@wrapid9706]

Hey! Because of the shifting rubber around sensors, it tends to get dirt and water from behind the bumper over time. The sensors will work fine but dirt will eventually build up and look bad over time.

[@15bit62]

Probably a stupid question, but is it really easier to use a pre-cut than to put on a full sheet and cut out for the sensors etc as you go?

[@wrapid9706]

Hey! It is easier to use a precut if you do not have the experience or do not have the courage to cut the film on the vehicle. But of course if you use a sheet it can be more custom

[@tamdinh8049]

Hey! Nice video. What solution did you use for the spray (ratio) and alcohol ratio?

[@wrapid9706]

Hey! Thank you so much and we do 30% alcohol and 70% water

[@tamdinh8049]

What about the soap spray in the pump bottle? Type of soap (Johnson baby?) and ratio with water? Thanks

[@wrapid9706]

We use Johnson's baby shampoo and as for the soap ratio it depends on the conditions, if it's hotter I use more and if it's colder I use less. But I normally put 2/3 drops per pp bottle.

[@jimmybryant1951]

Is that the same brand PPF you're selling on your website? XPEL Ultimate Plus?

[@wrapid9706]

Yup that's correct

[@3borijess]

How do you shrink PPF if you dont have a steamer?

[@wrapid9706]

Hey! Another method we found that works is using hot water

[@Wow_wow1]

I consider myself pretty handy person and I do not recommend people from doing this unless they have good experience(especially if you’ve purchased a pre-cut kit). Just pay a professional to do it. It’s just not worth it. The video makes it fairly easy to accomplish this, but it’s not that easy. If I had to really do this again, I would buy bulk and cut it myself. Buying a pre-cut PPF limits what you can do and you have to stretch different parts of the bumper just to get the alignments correct. Getting the parking sensor all aligned was such PIA! If i had a bulk PPF, i wouldn’t have to stretch it as much and I would have a lot more free pay with it-ultimately making things much easier to apply.

[@chosenmusicartist]

How much alcohol do you use? 30%alcohol to 70%water?

[@wrapid9706]

Yup that’s correct !

[@NRV44]

How much does it cost for the entire car?

[@wrapid9706]

Hey! Are you asking for just material? Or installed? It also depends on the vehicle too

[@NRV44]

@@wrapid9706 Model Y Fully wrapped PPF cost, if I were to do it on my own vs professional?

[@wmg5939]

How long dis it take you in real time?

[@wrapid9706]

Hey! Thank you for watching!! It takes about 45mins now for us to do that bumper but during that video it was about an hour and 18mins. Keep in mind that we do this all the time so the time might not be the same for everyone. Hopefully that helps answer your question.

[@ramivuorinen]

WE love it!

[@amb1s1]

How much PPF do you need to wrap the entire model y?

[@RayNLA]

A lot!

[@limitlessdev]

2 rolls

[@thedetailerr]

Can you get creases or permanent creases in PPF? What if it creases after you shrink it and push it down

[@wrapid9706]

It is possible to get creases but if you heat it up, they usually go away (kind of like vinyl). Only issue is if it's too dry and you crease it, there is potential that the adhesive will seperate so make sure it's wet when you are squeegeeing

[@jacbuc1]

How long did it take you? Also where is your shop located.

[@wrapid9706]

This took about 2 hours to complete from start to finish

[@bh9262]

Don't they make one of those strap-on leather front covers, like they had in the 80s? So when you're on a long road trip you can put it on and remove it when you're back home? They called them Bug Bra's...

[@wrapid9706]

They still might but those collect dirt and small rocks under and with the leather not actually air tight to the car, it will get inbetween and end up scratching and damaging the car under the straps

[@bh9262]

@@wrapid9706 Yes, good point. I was just looking for the easy way out, because I'm not as patient as you spending the time to install that plastic. But it looks fantastic. If you're near me I'd pay you to put it on for me. I'm in ILLINOIS>

[@SunsetshedsColoradoSheds]

This guy is using way to much soap if your clear bra is sliding all over the place your using to much soap usually from using the same bottle as tint. Also never put your fingers on the inside of the material. Especially on a white car
