LZ GT3RS Detail Series: E4 - PPF Install

[@nickemangione]

What a craftsman. Talented but not even 1% arrogant. Respect!

[@johng753]

Very impressive. Incredible skill and dexterity involved to produce a flawless application. This guy is a real craftsman. Really nice of him to work while your hovering around him with the camera and asking questions. This was a great episode.

[@detailerslife8127]

2 things money will never buy...experience and talent 👍

[@EleanorPeterson]

You don't need to buy it - you just need to be rich enough to hire it for a while. 😁

[@ralphralphin]

This guy is a wizard. I have watched countless hours of PPF installs and this guy takes the prize. I didn't see a seam anywhere. I just about fell off my chair laughing when he asked who did Matt's PPF install on his car. You could just see the guys brain say "Esoteric Who"? Then again im sure hes busy working at his craft and not watching KZbin videos all the time.

[@garybeckmann5007]

The Michelangelo of PPF. Whatever that guy charges, it's probably worth it.

[@danielshields5186]

8k for a complete 100% protection wrap.

Amazing job. I can’t even get a screen protector on my phone without bubbles.

😆🤣

[@Krazychoo]

you're not alone on this one!

[@Calendyr]

I am a detailer and I would not have the patience to do this kind of work. This is just a much artistry as it is science. Very impressive to watch him work and manage to get the film perfect in all those intricate places.

[@johnnyt9780]

A true craftman. Skill like that is hard to find!! And thanks for the great video!

[@FAKAMUSHIN]

This was the first car i ever did ppf on , i had no clue what i was doing i watched videos on youtube on how to work with the ppf, before starting the job. good times

[@jmking7]

That guy was like esoteric who?!? Lol

[@singletrackftw]

Normally I like subtle colors but that orange is just so sick!

[@Doggepp]

This guy does some insane work, and very humble too! Still cant understand why you guys didnt do a full wrap tho. The quarters are the only panel you cant take off the car, and which would suck most if you'd have to repaint. But each to their own! Amazing vid as always!

[@JamesLS3]

This guy has nerves of steel to free hand cut with a camera over him while holding a conversation. Props

[@andymuller8883]

Great great great job! Very skilled man! Thank you for sharing! What squeegee are you using please?

[@qwikss4469]

That takes some SERIOUS skill to install like that!

[@crabking3074]

You know what would be cool if Matt had his gt3 rs and made a cayman gt4 his daily....... thanks for the highlight you caused me to start my passion for detailing 2 years ago when I was 12.

[@lelandfamily]

Am I the only person after watching this that wants to learn to install PPF? While there is no substitute for experience, how long (how much practice) to become proficient with PPF. It was fascinating to watch...

[@KBTATS]

A true master of his craft!

[@joshwattonS2000]

This guy is superb at what he does. I bet Matt pulls his PPF off of his to then get this guy to do it again 😂

[@TheFi1thyCasual]

He makes it look so easy.

[@COHE]

Great skill by hand with a knife

[@ronaldsuluki8732]

No cost..... Beating around the bush on camera. LMAO great reply

[@tedipetrov2623]

Fuel door can be removed for 2-3 sec, each headlight 25-30sec. Much better for quality PPF install .

[@ericsanchez7388]

Did you delete the video of that random guy that drove along in a black 700+ whp 911 Matt? I couldn’t find it ?

[@DRTORQUENSTEIN]

dude's a magician. wow.

[@Thkfast]

I swear my pulse and blood pressure rose just watching that PPF install. Paint and carbon fiber and razor blades - no way! I'd screw that up so bad. I could NEVER be that patient.

[@scottcampbell10]

Something I don't understand - When you wrap a panel with vinyl, it's crucial to start at the middle and work out to the edges in straight lines across the whole panel to avoid trapping any bubbles underneath. This never seems to be the case with PPF, because obviously they have to make sure the edges are correct first, but how then can the film be squeegee'd smooth when the edges are down? Mainly those hood vents - surely sticking them down first would only cause problems when trying to squeegee the rest of the hood?! Baffling 😂

[@mpoppe]

Que trabalho incrível ! Só poderia dizer em Português, tamanha a minha admiração por pessoas com esse dom manual !!

[@KantstandlamGarage]

Im positive id get my finger print under the PPF. Just knowing my damn luck.

[@bosoares]

I'm sure he did too. Look just past the 6 minute mark and he's got his fingers all over the underside of the film. I swear the guys at Esoteric said that's no good.

[@BradleyNilsen]

@@bosoares If its dry, no bueno. If its wet you are fine

[@keithjacoby2535]

So have you kicked Esoteric to the curb Matt?

[@shaukj0n3s]

Can you do a video on door jams please those are the hardest part for me to clean

[@oliverplante]

Did he charge you more for asking questions? 😂. I wish I had a mechanic that would let me watch them work. Such a great opportunity to learn

[@jonathanvanelli]

He’d be a great podcast guest!

[@darthvader4867]

I went down to the Dodge Dealership a while back. I had to get my Durango serviced. I never knew that you can get PPF installed from the dealership. To get the hood and front fenders done, it was about 1500.

[@platinumautoglasswindowtin88]

Darth vader what city?

[@ObsessedGarage]

They likely sub it out. I would never want a dealer having anything to do with my PPF.

[@darthvader4867]

Chris Semsch I went to the Dodge Dealership in San Leandro, Ca.

[@cobra454tim]

Matt you want to talk to the installer of that PPF what spray bottles he likes to use I’m assuming he must go through quite a lot doing cars!

[@tuckerinnis4039]

How come they just don’t use a big sheet of PPE why do they custom cut every piece

[@tezzrterry7485]

There is a video of a new wrap that doesn't need soap lube. It just slides around until it's squeezed out.

[@shadowcreekacres]

Have you considered using STEK Dynoshield? I'm about to do a new GT350 and the installer uses both Suntek & STEK but recommends the STEK because of its Hydrophobic coating.

[@ObsessedGarage]

I'll likely do it on a car soon. I would choose that if the installed feels proficient installing it.

[@artchandler5856]

I’m close to Tampa...where is this pro located?

[@ObsessedGarage]

North Tampa

[@artchandler5856]

Obsessed Garage ... sounds great.... can you tell me the name of his shop?

[@artchandler5856]

@@ObsessedGarage I have ordered a new GT3 it is supposed to be here in September and would like to have it wrapped. What is this shop name and the name of the installer? Thanks in advance Art

[@AndyGarton]

The downside to not doing the whole car is that over time you'll see a bigger difference in the finish. No matter how carefully you wash, you'll get minor swirling in the non-PPF sections. The PPF will self heal, so won't show these. Not a big deal arguably, but it's why I favour doing all, or nothing.

[@ObsessedGarage]

Self healing is not all it's cracked up to be. The PPF will oxidize and show wear anyway.

[@AndyGarton]

Obsessed Garage Mine is four years and 12000 UK miles in and looking brilliant still. I look after it properly, but I’m still surprised.

[@emperor6747]

Now this is a person I would trust with my PPF. I would do my car in a second if he was local to me. :(

[@travis8592]

Great work and this was so ASMR. Who the hell is paying 8k though that's nuts? How much does the film really cost?

[@ryanott6763]

a lot actually

[@Barbosa81]

8k to protect the paint of a 150k car ? Seems pretty good to me since repaint a car like this would be over 20k easily and would depreciate the value a lot

[@joewaz100]

It takes years of experience or someone with a natural born ability. I fall in the latter.

[@kcimages5157]

This guys good , sounds like esoteric job flopped.

[@mesdetails2847]

I want to get trained in this so bad

[@afhyoutube]

Holy shit. $8,000 for the entire car.

[@OhhSoijy]

RICARDO Car condom made me laugh

[@milaskilathelab]

@RICARDO Oh yeah. Standard New Car Prep details can cost 2-4 Grand. PPF takes time to create each panel piece, it's a whole other level. Hence the price. Don't discourage it if you don't understand. Or won't..

[@ryanott6763]

RICARDO try installing it yourself, then you’ll see why it costs so much

[@milaskilathelab]

Let me know when you've sat down on your arse for 40 hours polishing a vehicle. How do you think they put PPF onto a car? Just get a square piece and cut it to shape with some scissors? You shape each piece to the panel of the vehicle. It's like a vinyl, you peel it off the backing and apply it to the area. Like anything, it takes time. Which justifies the outrageous cost, you have materials cost (high end ppf), labour (never cheap), and many have overheads to pay for. 8 Grand isn't expensive when you compare it to the price of the car. @RICARDO

[@afhyoutube]

@@milaskilathelab Never was objecting. Just saying ''Holy shit. $8,000.''

even OG must bend to ppf. my my how things have changed.

[@danielshields5186]

Im from mtl and a have been in the ppf industry for over 6 years. Im 27 and have to say from the way the film is being installed, definitely looks beginner level. Even the way he cuts with his knife is dangerous.

[@tyg1434]

How much does the film cost ?

[@JefferyUniverse]

Approximately $10,000.00 for full-body protection.

[@AdonisDetail]

Strugglefest on that hood there aye?

[@BradleyNilsen]

LOL

[@dave3952]

For what that car costs, 8k seems reasonable to wrap the full car. Protect the original paint.

[@scottmassey4330]

So, if they answered re cost, I didn’t hear it. Just guessing they didn’t want it on camera.

[@1337svj]

8k

[@tezzrterry7485]

I thought he said $3K? Full signs on a business vehicle, is usually $3-$4K.

[@vongdong10]

@@tezzrterry7485That's vinyl though. Good quality PPF is at least 2-3 times as thick as vinyl.
