Install 3M Pro Series Paint Protection Film PPF | Honda Odyssey 2019

[@allenc6609]

I recently bought a 2023 RAV4 hybrid. The body shop quoted me $6500 for a full body protective film wrap and $2400 for full front wrap. Fuck it and I am doing it myself. Thank you for your video!!

[@bill1828]

How does this product hold up after repeated visits to a car wash or rock salt in the winter? Where can we buy film that covers just headlights? I have a 2008 Honda that is too dinged up to worry about the entire car, but I sure would like to protect the headlights once I restore them. I learned of this product from a video that demonstrated how to restore yellow headlights to clear, and this film was mentioned.

[@georgiaguardian4696]

You are so pro. It took me 8 hours to install one side of full fender. 12 hours for the full hood. Am I using the wrong solution?????

[@borilopez8581]

Beautiful Job thank you very much im wonder what kind of product u use to clean the car paint from grease and other contaminates.thank you for your videos

[@83piwo]

This film actually consists of 3 layers. The white layer and on the outside is still a 3rd layer consisting of a hard material. Do you have to peel off that hard outer film? Because I didn't see this step in your video.

[@Jesuschristitsjasonbourne3]

Trapped moisture? How is that a good idea

[@cyborg1117]

nice job...do you start from the middle and work your way out both ways or do you do the ends first and then do the middle?

[@dial2fast]

I start in the middle and go out to the side. This way you know it's centered.

[@ft3Safety1st2]

Great video! Does the headlight film prevent it from fogging up in the future?

[@dial2fast]

Yes the film does protect the headlight from oxidizing as it also have UV protection. But keep it mind the film also have a lifespan depending on how much sun exposure it gets.

[@nathanield.4527]

Nice work. What did you do to prepare the paint and headlights for the PPF?

[@blackpaw254]

Great vid. I was thinking about buying the exact same kit off eBay. The pre cut seems a lot easier than buying the roll and cutting it by hand.

[@kaimanson3174]

For the 08 Ody, on the headlight do you have to use a heat gun to wrap the film around, or it will adapt to the shape?...Your 08 headlights looks great!.

[@MeMe-tb4tt]

Woww this video is great!!!! Question: how long should I let seat to completely dried off? In other words after how long can I use the car?

[@dial2fast]

You can drive the car right away. The adhesive will cure very quickly. I recommend not put it through any car wash for a week.

[@BrianYYH]

So I see a few videos with a bottle for slip and a bottle for tack. Do you think it will be better having the baby shampoo in one spray bottle and alcohol in another?

[@AA-rd4dz]

We just bought 2019 odyssey Do I need wait a while before installing this? Does the paint need a while to breath? Thank you Very detailed video!

[@dial2fast]

The factory bake the paint and also after some time as it's shipped to the dealer, the paint is ready for the film.

[@joeallen9897]

Even with fresh paint, that isn’t baked it takes about three months for it to off gas. I would bet your car wasn’t painted shipped and purchased in that time span.

[@williamcarnero9595]

Great work man, where did you get those yellow squeegees?

[@dial2fast]

You can get it from Amazon. amzn.to/2GyppQ6

[@staceytran4749]

Just got the film for my RX350, the tube that came with the film had the word ULINE and 800 Customer service number on it. the warranty for this seller-North Tints is only 5 yrs. Shouldn't it be 10 years warranty? How can I find out if this film is genuine 3M PRO series? Thanks.

[@ajalbani]

How does this compare to xpel?

[@rickstokes2239]

I like the idea of this. But my questions are: How long does it last? How is it removed? How do you wax and shine your car?

[@dial2fast]

The 3M PPF product will last a good 10+ years (my own experience). The adhesive is very strong and does take quite a bit of work to remove. You can wax the film but you should use a synthetic wax and not something with carnauba.

[@htle83]

Great video. I've installed one in the past and always made sure the edges were adhering and not lifting up while curing and drying. However, after almost a year of ownership, and maybe due to me allowing the car to remain dirty for weeks at a time instead of keeping up with regular washes. I noticed dirt build up right at the edge of the film. It's not under the film, but right at the edging where it meets the paint. Do you know if there's a trick to clean those edges? Also, I wanted your take on this. Do you prefer to leave a mm or so of film "short" from the edge of the panel you are working on? I've seen some installs where they wrap it just slightly around the edge of whatever panel and have seen it lift up just a little over time. I just wonder if it would be better not to wrap around the edges, but try to keep it flat on the front fascia on any panel... Great job! Very information, and as always, I enjoy all your videos. Thanks!

[@dial2fast]

As for the dirt showing on the edge of the film, this will happen because of the thickness of the film. There is an edge that is raised which allows for dirt to collect. You can clean it by buffing the edge with a carnauba wax and cloth. Usually that will clean it all up. With regards to wrapping around the edge, if you buy a precut kit off ebay, those kits are not cut to be big enough to wrap around. They are cut to just fit on top of the body panel. If you want to wrap around the edge, you will most likely need to buy the roll in bulk and cut your own as you wrap.

[@htle83]

​@@dial2fast Thanks for the tip.

[@apolloandratti7922]

PPF install is such a skill dependent job that takes years to develop. How many hours to complete the whole job and what did you save in labor as a DYI?

[@dial2fast]

Time spent was more than normal because I had to film the process. It took me about 5 hours with breaks in between. This kit cost me $288. Depending on what brand of film you use and how many pieces you need done, most shops will charge around $700 to over $1000 for several pieces.

[@apolloandratti7922]

dial2fast thanks!

[@TobyCostaRica]

I’ve done it 4 doorsills, which gave me the confidence to do the headlights, mine were more difficult than this as it’s a 3D shape with valleys and raised sections. The film is very workable if you’re patient. It even started raining mid way through so I pulled the film off, put it back on the backing paper and tried again 2 days later. Now I’m going to try the bumper. Tack solution is like an extra set of hands anchoring parts so you can stretch it. The other thing is, some shops don’t pay for these cutout designs from 3M and wrap bulk materials on your bumper and cut into your paint. I don’t care how many years of experience you have your hand holding a blade doesn’t have the accuracy of 8 mils or 0.008 inches (thickness of film).

[@boostedmaniac]

Does the film protect the lights from getting yellow overtime ?

[@dial2fast]

Yes it will as long as the headlight is in good condition to begin with.

[@Thecookiechannel]

Hi there. How's your PPF holding up? I have the same Odyssey in white. I am wondering if your have dirt build up around the edges? Also, should there be any lifting of the film on some of the sharp edges.

[@dial2fast]

If the install if done cleanly, there should be no lifting on the edge or corners. You may notice a black line on the edge of the film after a period of time, but that's just dirt sitting right on the edge between the film and the car paint. A quick buff with some car wax or detailer spray will remove that. If you see dirt underneath, then the edge was not properly applied to the paint and there is a small gap.

[@skylar1112]

Awesome job! You make it look so easy. 3M looks like it has a good 4 way stretch. Thanks for the video

[@jayvelasco6836]

Thanks for the video....is this product carwash proof?

[@dial2fast]

With the adhesive on the protective film, it's very difficult to remove.

[@jayvelasco6836]

Thank you 😊 . Please keep making videos about your Odyssey, they are just awesome 👌!

[@paulg8065]

Great video. I’ve tinted a few windows and the noise when you are pulling the film to reposition gives me anxiety. More solution! Lol

[@Waffle07]

Did you have any bubbles? What did you do if you did?

[@dial2fast]

I didn't have any bubbles. It's important to squeegee ALL the water underneath the film to prevent any trapped water pockets.

[@XO0oo]

I have paint protection on my car but I want to lift it to touch up a rock chip underneath. Can I just lift it up and when I’m done, spray it back and squeegee it down again?

[@jacklawer6389]

Can you get kits for any car?

[@jcsrst]

Thank you for the detailed install video! I appreciate all your tips and tricks. Bought a similar kit but for a VW GTI. Now I feel that I have a much better understanding of how to tackle the project!

[@misbahkhan8304]

does this clear bra work on ceramic coated surfaces?

[@dial2fast]

You need to prepare the paint surface and remove the ceramic coating first so the PPF adhesive can properly adhere to the painted surface.

[@cardetailingmadesimple.9062]

How well does it protect from small rocks that will leave impressions in the front end

[@trieuhuynh1512]

Wow. Amazing. I didn't know such product exists. Thanks for showing us how you applied them on.

[@dial2fast]

Glad you enjoyed the video!

[@jewllake]

great patience and skill! I'd never event attempt to do this on my own.

[@princessjones34]

I bought this and thought I was going to put it on by myself but I realize it ain’t gonna happen

[@AA-rd4dz]

How should you wait after applying the material to drive your vehicle, should you let the car sit over night?

[@dial2fast]

You can drive the vehicle right after install, but I would stay away from automatic car washes. The adhesives on the clear film is very good and it doesn't just come off.

[@TobyCostaRica]

Very helpful video. I just did my doorsills and it was so much easier than vinyl wrapping I want to try my bumper

[@darwintan6091]

Hi- good day, just want to ask if you know how to replace buzzer smart at rear of my odyssey 2020 exl. Everytime I lock it with key remote I can only hear very low beep. Any suggestion is appreciated- thanks

[@dial2fast]

I know the Odyssey buzzer is very low in volume. I think to change it, you will have to locate the buzzer and circuit that drives it, and replace one or both items. It will be a lot of work.

[@cardetailingmadesimple.9062]

How do you take it off down the road when it doesn’t look so good anymore?

[@ejshelby5460]

What’s the use of the alcohol?

[@dial2fast]

Helps PPF film tack on quicker and hold its position.

[@amankazi]

Can you share the link to the product for Honda Odyssey 2022 please?

[@dial2fast]

I have updated new links for 2021+ model, but the front bumper and hood pieces are sold individually. Take a look at the links in the description.

[@nicodemusabungu9056]

This leaves the edges exposed, a potential area for gathering dust since the film doesn't roll over the edges. in a few weeks one will be able to tell where the protection ends

[@AA-rd4dz]

Please tell me is easy install a new bottom lip on the front number and it’s not part of the whole front bumber I’ve already got to dings on mine

[@vika0194]

you will save about 1000 dollars if you manage to do it yourself.

[@berzurk]

so did you stretch both sides to make the bumper fit on the edges?

[@dial2fast]

Yes

[@mattb9664]

Do you orbital polish then wax then clean with Dawn (to strip the wax) again before starting the installation?

[@dial2fast]

Just wipe it down with 50/50 rubbing alcohol and water.

[@tonys9731]

Very nice. Do they have 3M logo on the film or on the back sheet?

[@dial2fast]

The 3M Pro series does not have any logo on the backing paper. Its plain white. The 3M (non pro series) has logo on the paper.

[@tonys9731]

@@dial2fast Thank you.

[@tmike9968]

@@dial2fast whats the difference between 3m pro series and non pro series

[@dmoreno4082]

Awesome job. Considering doing it to my vehicle. 2 questions..1.will it leave a glue residue on your paint if ever it needs to come off? 2. Will it leave air pockets from existing chips on paint?

[@dial2fast]

After leaving it on for many years, there may be some glue residue if you remove the film, but it can be cleaned off. If you have existing paint chip when applying the film, that paint indent will not be filled by the film, so you will see there is a paint chip underneath. The best thing is to try to fill the chip with some touch up paint before applying the film.

[@lexusfan100]

What about car wash..hand or automatic car wash. Will it damage the film..

[@dial2fast]

The film has a very strong adhesive. The material is very strong and durable. You can take it through car wash and wax it.

[@dbairny6414]

can you let me know from whom did you purchase on eBay. can you share the link please. thank you

[@aznlife72]

You can message these guys. They can probably help you out with your specific vehicle. www.ebay.com/str/gtvinylz

Did the product come pre cut or did you it to size

Also would you recommend a bug guard for the hood as well? I noticed you don’t have one on your van Thank you

[@dillonh321]

I am glad I put one on my truck. I do alot of driving on washboard gravel and dirt roads so usually my truck gets bad chips on the hood after only a year of ownership, but with my bug guard the amount of chips on my hood after a year of ownership is reduced. Also less bugs on my windshield.

[@perditionluc]

How to avoid dust and such? I tried to install one on my white car and had small bits of dust and fuzz etc.

[@dial2fast]

Make sure the car surface you touch is very clean because your hand will pick up all kinds of dirt. Also use a lot of slip solution to rinse out any small dust. You can try spraying directly onto the piece of dust or grime that's on the adhesive side, and use your finger to pick it off. Basically try to rinse it off with the solution.

[@ScoredPiston]

Turd McGurk - use a clay bar before you install the wrap.

[@Slymax95]

Hard to fathom how much they charge to have a vinyl cutter cut the pattern.

[@BnMGarage]

At 3-$400. It seems smarter to practice with bulk and get experience with the skill

[@samaanam76]

Perfect 👌

Make sure your car still has ventilation so it does not overheat.

[@ScoredPiston]

yan zeng - usually you make 2 solutions, a slip solution with the soap and a rack solution with alcohol.

[@CantTreadOnMe]

I would lose my mind in a violent manner trying to do this. Way to tedious for me. I will pay a premium to get it done by a shop because I can't fathem doing this myself without seething in rage and transforming into a hulk like figure and ripping a large tree out of the ground to smash my car with relentless fortitude. Seriously though, what do they charge at a dealer to get this done?

[@bdub6512]

[@hassanmohammad7397]

I want to install a clear bra on my 2019 odyssey as well, but throughout the 9000 miles that are on the van at the moment , many rock chips have formed and the dealer has drilled the front bumper for the license plate . Would it be bad to install the film over the rock chips and the holes? Or do u know of any ways to get rid of the rock chips before installing the film?

[@dial2fast]

With rock chips, you can use touch up paint to fill the chips. This method will NOT make your bumper look new, but cosmetically looks better. The other method is to pay a bodyshop to repaint the bumper which cost more money and you need to wait about 60 days before apply PPF film. If you don't care to all that, you can apply PPF on the current bumper with the chips, but of course you will have the chips visible under the film. The film will provide further new chips. The choice is yours.

[@hassanmohammad7397]

dial2fast thanks for the reply. Yea I’m going to think about using touch up paint. Getting the bumper repainted is not something I want to do. Applying the film over the previous chips, may show the chips, but will for sure protect against future rock chips.

[@cardetailingmadesimple.9062]

Most plastic bumpers do not lose paint. They get impressions that show up a good ways away. Will this film protect against those micro dents from Little Rock’s?
