Which PPF Brand Should You Get For Your Tesla? Durability Test - Part 1 - TESBROS

I just put on ppl sunteck ultra it does cover everything. Heat heals. Rocks are rare. Not hitting directly like the screwdriver that was painful to watch. However it still protects and can heal.

[@Alex.AL_26]

I am curious to know how the self healing properties of the film work with a ceramic coating applied on top of the film.

[@tesbros]

The PPF won't need to self heal if the elements can't get to it due to a ceramic coating. If scratches make it all the way to the PPF, that means that area is exposed, and it'll self heal.

[@MindFusion-ij1xl]

This was most informative, I ONLY sought to know which PPF is UV and IR protectors, so my RV decals do not fade away with bright sun!

All of these high quality brands protect from UV rays 💪

[@charmaone]

What is the cost in terms of value to most expensive on these 4 for customers? Also have you all serviced the new Foaker Oceans yet?

[@mrgold3591]

Pricing depends on installer if you don't plan to do it yourself. The cost comes from color correction, chip repair, and labor of installing the PPF. Notice prices are regional and depend on how many installers in the area. Some installers use custom cut sheets and others cut from large roll and form to almost any size that needs protection. Find an installer that "tucks the seams" in cracks and around corners to help hide the film for an invisible look. It can cost $300-$700 for front end bra (headlights, side mirrors, front bumper), $1000-$1500 for entire front end (hood, bumper, fenders, headlights, side mirrors), and $3500-$4500 to do an entire sedan. PPF like Suntek and XPEL have a 10 year warranty.

[@amohsen9848]

You forgot to mention very important details; which type of XPEL ultimate 7 or ultimate fusion? Which type of 3M scotch guard or venture shield? Would you please be more specific? Also, you could’ve mentioned cost.

[@masonbarnett3927]

[@veliksami]

[@ChillFactor727]

What about regular wax? My brother told me there were places where you leave your car there the whole day and every other hour or something, they will wax and buff your car for the whole day. Building up layers and so when you come get it its got a glossy thick layer that any rock chip or scratch can easily buff right out.

[@i00Productions]

I believe that XPEL is designed to have a ceramic coating applied to the top of it; that would be A LOT harder to apply well if it was itself hydrophobic!

[@tesbros]

Lots of paint protection films come ceramic coated nowadays. They usually only last around 6 months though, and an additional coating applied on top is recommended if you want to keep the properties for a while

[@amirchar]

I wish you would have also had a section without any PPF on it, to show how different PPF is compared to no PPF

[@dakotasimon3445]

Wondering the same

[@Proximian]

Does rubbing alcohol ruin the hydrophobic layer? How long does the hydrophobic layer last? Would ceramic coating be better than the factory hydrophobic coating?

[@tesbros]

Rubbing alcohol will diminish the hydrophobic qualities overtime IF it's too strong. Just make sure it's diluted with water or more like 50-70% iso alcohol. The hydrophobic layer on PPF usually lasts around 6 months. And yes, if you want ceramic coating properties, I would go ahead and ceramic coat the PPF as well. It'll last a lot longer.

[@NN13K0]

In order of which is best, I would rate them: 1. STEK 2. 3M 3. XPEL 4. AVERY

[@brianfinamore4962]

what temp does the film start to heal? dont want to burn my ppf

[@tesbros]

Typically, it'll heal naturally from the sun. Minor scratches can disappear in as little as an hour at 72 degrees F. If you want to speed up the healing process, pour hot water (not boiling, just hot to the touch) over the scratched areas.

All of these are great. I typically use Avery or STEK, but you can't go wrong with any of these brands. Yes, you can add ceramic coating to all PPF to make it hydrophobic. I even recommend adding it to factory coated PPF as it will last years longer than the factory coating. You can DIY or have it pro installed. We like Gyeon Mohs Evo if you're going the DIY route. It's more forgiving than other coatings so it's easier to work with: tesbros.com/products/gyeon-q-mohs-evo-basic-bundle

PPF lasts between 5 and 7 years depending on how well it's taken care of. It'll most likely have self-healing properties for the life of it, however, it might lose some of its effectiveness as time goes on. It's hard to give an exact answer as it all depends on how much the car is driven, car washing habits, and general wear and tear.

@@tesbros thank you for replying. They’re certified with Xpel, SunTek, and 3M. SunTek contacted the shop and the owner said that he installed his own brand on my car. I paid $2,100 for a house brand PPF!! He prides himself on being the SunTek 2021 dealer but then sells his own brand PPF. Not sure what I can do?

This video and these tests would be a lot better with a "control" of no ppf to compare to.

[@tesbros]

we have a control in part 2! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYbGZGtrh9Wfnsk

If you want to make another video with these PPF brands, I have a gross test for you. Bird poop. Put the fender(?) with 4 different PPFs under a tree where birds perch. When sufficiently covered in poop, use a hose to see which PPF takes the least time and effort to clean. They'll likely all be clean with a pressure washer. I wanted to see which cleans fastest, easiest with just a garden hose. It's moot for me. After seeing you video, I got 3M PPF on my Tesla Model 3. When I say it looks great, I mean I don't see it at all. I clean my car with just a pressure washer. No problems on the PPF or the paint.

Don't you guys sell PPF? Which type do you sell?

[@tesbros]

We sell Avery and Stek as of now.

Thank you so much for making this video!

Great test video! Man, gotta say that I'm a little disappointed in the XPEL. I have an X3M arriving in a few months and am pre-shopping for PPF installers. I've heard great things about XPEL and it seems that it's also the preferred brand if not exclusively the brand used by all the installers I've spoken to. But it seems to be the worse performing in this video. lol

[@tesbros]

Congrats! well i would say these are the top brands in the industry, and comparatively to all the brands out there, it's still a good one. We did an updated part 2 testing recently and added llumar to the mix. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYbGZGtrh9Wfnsk Might be helpful if you're still unsure about XPEL. But let me know if you have specific concerns or questions about any of them and i'd be happy to answer

[@anw9485]

@@tesbros Thank you! Ah, Illumar is one that I've heard of before as well.

What happens during a crash?

[@tesbros]

Good question. At our shop, we rewrap it for you at cost. Most insurance covers ppf too though so you can get it rewrapped.

[@mikaelafox6106]

@@tesbros What kind of insurance covers the PPF? Actual car insurance or does PPF come with insurance?

[@chrish6407]

This video is very helpful since I will take delivery of my plaid in Dec, and they definitely deserve more subscribers!

[@981boxster2]

What type of xpel was this? Ultimate plus?

[@tesbros]

Yes.
