Gloss film will turn the paint to a gloss look.

I think @Midtown Houston has one. Maybe he can lead you in the right direction?

When we talk about scratch coat it will more then likely be referring to tools scratching it during installation.

Does it do it with the blade out? I have seen this when the bearing in the blade goes out. The blade can't spin so it just grabs the film and bunches it up.

No it was always sh!t. haha

Warranty is a interesting issue. I wonder if techs would need to be trained to do in house warranty's .

WOW! That is beautiful and unique. Very nice

When i built my basement out I did frost on the shower doors. I had the doors off and mixed them up and did one inside and one outside. It's been about 4 years now with out issue. But I would say the outside is a better option.

I feel to be able to do this at the factory level it will need to be dumbed down quite a bit. Meaning the installs will have to be able to be installed by a "worker" not a craftsman. They will not be able to risk peel up after the car ships, so it will more then likely not even be close to the edges. Also any complex curves/areas will have many relief cut and different pieces to accommodate ease and speed of install. It will take business from the aftermarket that's for sure, but it will also make our installs seem that much better to the customer.. I'm sure PPF manufactures will put a spin on it and say how it is beneficial for us and say it will bring a new awareness to the product... I could also see it blowing up in Auto manufactures face, becoming more of a headache then its worth and, will not be a option for long.

I have done probably 100 of these with out pulling the rear deck. Passat and Jetta. The last couple I have pulled the deck, and will be doing so from now on. I feel its worth the extra time.

Call Accugraphics. 800-268-3672 they know the DGI plotters and sell parts for them. Ron is the man to talk with.

I wouldn't call that damage. Its rubber. After a bit in the sun it should just relax back.

Try using felt on your card. It slides across the film way better also.

My wife's Audi A4 has Xpel XR Plus 35% all sides and back. My F-150 has XRblack 35% fronts 15% over privacy rear and 70% shield.
