Wrapping a 2022 Tesla Model Y in Xpel Stealth PPF

This 2022 Model Y Tesla came into the shop for a full wrap in Xpel Stealth PPF. Follow along with us on the installation process of this film.

[@joystoltz3831]

I had my 2014 Nissan morano cross cabriolet wrapped in this film and it is absolutely beautiful!! Of course the car being older it had a few rock chips, but I wanted to protect it from getting any worse as I do a lot of traveling and I had just bought this car new to me.

[@turkey1337]

New or old, this is the best investment you can make!

[@detailtech]

We appreciate your business!!!

[@why6212]

How well does it visually cover the chipped areas? Does it make them less noticeable?

[@detailtech]

@@why6212 unfortunately is makes the chipped areas look the same as it does prior to install.

[@guttagutta420]

@@detailtechWhat if you used bondo to fill the divot and smooth it out first?

[@dannydanix8698]

Just very satisfying to look at the installation.

[@RobertSchmitt]

Yep 1000% doing this for my future Model Y!

[@gsingh2]

model Y looks So fire, subscribed to see more of what you do! Great work guys!

[@detailtech]

Have a stealth white one next week! Gloss one this week! Stay tuned as editing takes awhile lol

[@bonilla2022]

Artistry and craftmanship. 😎👍

[@skycornell]

Awesome job. Can you go still go through regular express drive through car washes with this film on it?

[@eduardoyepez7358]

Dude those head lights reminded me of the spider man goggles from the Toby Maguires venom. I swear I though I saw it but then I realized your vanity roof lights 🤦‍♂️ I’m gonna do that to mine though. Give it some sick look

[@XxSkilersxX]

In the summer you can cook on any part of the car and even cook yourself inside. No need for heat in the winter. Perfectly adapted for every season👌

[@detailtech]

with the added ceramic tint on this tesla you wont be baking anytime of the year!

[@ApoCaLypSeXVII]

W song choices to the editor

[@detailtech]

He kills it!

[@josm8063]

That's what we want to get done when ours gets delivered. Day one, straight from delivery to step one: get wheels powder coated. Step two: ppf satin or matte.

[@detailtech]

Ppf is a must for Tesla! The paint isn’t the best from factory 😕 wanna preserve it as long as you can!

[@rtobyc]

yo bro i recommend instead of getting wheels powder coated go for the rimetrix cover, you dont lose efficiency and it looks pretty fire

[@josm8063]

@@rtobyc thanks for the heads up, I'm def gonna check them out!

[@edubchilds]

Make sure your wrap shop does the top hatch in one piece too, not like this video. You end up with a gross parting line

[@gonzomachinecompany1017]

Greetings Tesla owner, do you have any plans also to convert your steering wheel into yoke steering wheel ? if you are interested, just reply here, thankyou!

[@RayNLA]

The rear deck can be done with one piece to avoid a seam. Nice work!

[@detailtech]

Absolutely! We give the customer the option to pay for the regular plotted version or a up charge for the one piece as it uses more film and takes a tab longer!

[@RayNLA]

@@detailtech Good move! Especially if a piece needs to be replaced due to damage. If I may suggest you guys try STEK film! You will be very happy with the quality.

[@detailtech]

@@RayNLA we use their cosmetic ppf all the time and love it

[@RayNLA]

@@detailtech Very Nice!

[@icon_xb2genrich]

Pretty hard work and more efforts But it came out so great

[@wheelinndealin3906]

Hey, well done. Can you do a short video on your canister dispensers for your solution? Cheers

[@MT-dh2tr]

Just bought a black Y model. Wow this looks great!

[@detailtech]

Ppf is a must for Teslas! Look into it!

[@scottyplug]

What's the approximate cost for this specific wrap?

[@roberts.wilson1848]

These things should be a factory option. When you order a new car your specific car's body parts should be sunk into some specific polymer that acts like these films. The advantage of being made from the manufacturing line is that it's perfect and not an external application that doesn't wrap around the edges.

[@MichaelCena08]

can ppf be done after owning the car for 2 years (I asked because it already has some chips mostly on the front)? is there an extra procedure because of that?

[@detailtech]

Could you install ppf yes, but the chips an scratches will show in the ppf if it wasnt fixed prior

[@pirluitpomer5812]

Thank you for this great video. How much do you charge for doing this on a model 3?

[@detailtech]

Typically full car in stealth PPF runs between $5,500/$7,500 depending on your area and installer

[@jasonstroup4123]

I have noticed on my model Y that the black trim, where the Chrome used to be, scratches very easy. Does the PPF cover this up as well?

[@detailtech]

yes we could cover that in a gloss finish or satin! We also notice how easy that surface is to scratch

[@BadEngineering.]

Have ppf on my Y currently but kind of debating about getting the stealth on it. Maybe after winter unless I replace the Y with a newer one.

[@detailtech]

we say go for it!

[@sergioduran3545]

What's the difference between satin ppf and matte ppf? Expel has satin ppf but stek has matte ppf. What's the difference??

[@MisDirected2014]

Satin has more shine than matte.

[@drglover31]

Could this product hold up to the Arizona heat

[@detailtech]

Yes, it is a UV protective film!

[@lowcus211]

Is this something that can be installed at home?

[@detailtech]

You can purchase pre cut kits! But if you want professional results or super OCD I’d recommend someone that does this full time as the install is extremely difficult.

[@TheTerrariaPlaya]

What’s the cost of a full satin wrap on the model y? Have seen a wide range of quotes

[@matte8433]

Is it resistant to bird droppings?

[@gcjenks3689]

What’s this look like on a white one? Considering doing this to mine

[@detailtech]

The STEALTH film will change the clear coat from a gloss to a satin.

[@Yachtzeee]

To Stealth these cars do they have to come apart? Door handles, bumpers, camera covers etc?

[@detailtech]

Everything stays together! Xpel makes Plots for the entire vehicle that way nothing has to be removed or cut! Some times removing makes for a better install on some vehicles but definitely discuss prior to the customer and getting started as what are the expectations.

[@ChrisKim-zb1sf]

What if you get into an accident after? You just blow your money?

[@Schlie313]

Is XPEL premium compared to 3M?

[@mikem2403]

Looks amazing! What kind of quick detailing spray and waterless wash do you recommend for Satin/Stealth wraps? Most seem to be for super shiny ceramic or for dull matte, but satin is in the middle.

[@detailtech]

As long as the product is worked in and level correctly, the type of product won't have much much of an impact on the satin properties. We use XPEL products (Boost, rinseless wash).

[@mikem2403]

@@detailtech Awesome, thanks!

[@aarronblake1121]

How much did that cost on the y?

[@tmartinez9065]

Can this be done on a CyberTruck and a ballpark of about how much… same color and everything

[@TheBceast]

Nice job. How would you know what the color looks like after the wrap? I have a blue model y on order

[@detailtech]

Its hard to know unless you've seen one up close. Some things to know though: you can still see metallic flake in direct sunlight, it doesnt change the color only the gloss to satin.

[@osh135]

What does the original paint look like when you remove the ppf?

[@detailtech]

Just like you did the day you installed it. 😎

Tesla Market Not Expand World Number 1 Automobile Market India

[@Joeyouth000]

Elon went to India , but still a no go, can’t made the deal like China gave.

[@itweety21]

How much ?

[@detailtech]

For the same vehicle runs $5,500/$6,500

[@Succumbed2Rum]

This stuff looks like a nightmare getting off, is that true? What if you want to change the color or need to replace a section where there are issues after the fact? Thanks in advance for your input

[@detailtech]

All removal and servicing of PPF should be done by a professional. The product is made to adhere for 10 years + and a job like this costs between $6-8,000. Removal i typically not on the mind of the consumer until the warranty is spent.

[@ih0nda]

Can ppf deform hood/panels as it gets cold(shrink)/hot(expand) of Teslas aluminum material?

[@detailtech]

Have not seen that happen to any of our vehicles.

[@JIMMY_NEMESIS]

The XPEL Stealth PPF is not Hydroponic ceramic thingy unlike their new Clear XPEL gloss PPF

[@kpv123]

Why didn't you show off the finished product more? Especially in different kinds of light

[@detailtech]

We are new to KZbin and this was one of our first vids! Our model x we just completed will have more completed

[@newzealandfromadjimini2cor452]

All that and we didn't get to see the car finished outside in the daylight??

[@detailtech]

We are new to making vids. But our new model x we just completed we did get a vid and pics from morning sun. stay tuned!

[@emilbagirov5363]

How much is it ?

[@beigao4184]

are these films precut?

[@detailtech]

Yes! We use a machine and software that plots out each panel of the vehicle.

[@MichaelMuni]

why are you not wrapping the edges? the car is not fully protected.

[@detailtech]

There are levels of cost when wrapping a vehicle. Some customers do not need or want to pay for wrapped edges. By the way, these edges are wrapped mostly!

[@sirismile2010]

does anyone noticed the jack did not use special pad 4:10? hope the battery is ok. 😀

[@markbiscocho1284]

The pad was on the jackstand itself..; 😂

[@joemac5864]

Xpel over Stek?

[@detailtech]

Yes! Stek is also a great film! But Dap softwares from xpel makes installs a breeze and personally like the adhesive over stek

[@freshswagga100]

where is your shop located?

[@detailtech]

Lexington Kentucky is our main Paint Protection Film location. We also have a shop located in Somerset Kentucky.

[@zanshan]

May I ask what’s the price?

[@detailtech]

Depends on your area and installers. Expected cost is between $5,500-$7,500

[@danielstoicamusic]

This is not the same as a car wrap, right?

[@detailtech]

No, Paint Protection Film is much different than Vinyl Car Wrap. Vinyl offers no actual protection to the paint only aesthetic changes. PPF offers full protection for the paint underneath the film, It also prevents things like fading of the paint. PPF also has a self healing ability when it comes to scratches. When the film is exposed to sunlight and small scratches will self heal and disappear.

[@danielstoicamusic]

@@detailtech thank you!

[@jesseruhland2983]

Throwing bulk film on that hood like it's free.

[@Yilly]

Bad A$$ wrap - what does something like this wrap on the Tesla Y cost?

[@navehori9075]

$4k-$5k, i came close to doing it but it’s a bit too much

[@detailtech]

Typical cost on a model Y in Xpel Stealth PPF on the entire vehicle is roughly between $5500/$7500 depending on how seamless you want your install and your area/installer.

[@jasonziter]

Just too damn expensive otherwise I would have had it done on delivery day for my MY LR black on black.

[@detailtech]

Completely understand! But what’s more expensive? Repainting your factory paint or ppf? Not only will you have your original unharmed factory paint underneath. But you can DRIVE your car without worries of the road!

[@dhaynes325]

I just got the high impact areas done and got a ceramic coating for the rest of the car

[@turkey1337]

I've had this same question too when deciding to get PPF on my 2022 Model X. Basically if you repaint the car, you have to wait for a certain point in time to repaint it where it accumulates all the paint chips and stuff. By then, it'll look battle worn. With the PPF, especially since it's self healing, it'll be able to protect the paint for 10 years (12 years for Llumar Valor) and heal itself to protect again another day. You can repaint the entire car once, or have moderate protection for a decade. And you don't have to do the whole car. Car usually drives forward so you could just cover the nose of it ($2-3k). Maybe the doors too if it's your daily commuter car.

[@detailtech]

@@turkey1337 you got it down boss!

[@turkey1337]

@@detailtech check out Llumar’s Valor! It has ceramic coating infused into it!

[@KhoiBoa]

So it’s a wrap

[@detailtech]

Not quite! Typical wraps offer no protection. Ppf is 8mils this and prevent scratching, rock chips etc. Unlike a wrap

[@ddtddt2165]

Tbh ... that is a bad install. You can see the original paint all over ... sucks
