Stek is by far the best in the industry. It's like butter to install and has incredable stretch. As for rock chips, when 3m pro series and xpel ultimate take a bad rock chip it rips out a chip size chunk of film with it. Stek rock chips don't do this because it's less rigid than other films and has more give. I have had no warranty claims since switching over to Stek a year ago... none! Also, using a torch over a heat gun is a great way to remove scratches faster and more effectively but only if done by an experienced installer as to not burn through film and paint. Informative video. That screwdriver was frightening though!

@@rodstawaa Thank you for this comment. I got full XPEL on my Shelby and when I heard people pay MORE to do ceramic over the film that made zero sense to me. The only value I see in ceramic pro is on the wheels to somewhat protect and/or clean brake dust easier.
@rodstawaa3 жыл бұрын
@@creamfalcon absolutely. A top grade PPF will have hydrophobic self healing properties build in. Not only will a coating not add much to the PPF in my experience it doesn’t bond well to PPF either as the PPF is designed to resist bonding of foreign materials.

Careful if you get Xpel products anywhere. The main company does NOT stand behind its product with its so called life time warranty on its tint or its dealers (or customers for that matter.) I had to go thru mediation and threaten to sue them just to get a refund on the brutal issues I had with one of their dealers that damaged my car and did a piss poor job. The tint they used also was not optically clear and had an orange peel to it.

You can double-stack the PPF in high-impact areas and you could just replace the second layer as needed. The one at the bottom should last some 10 years, I'd argue.
