Now that you did it, was it worth it?

For peace of mind? Yes. I’ll let you know the first time I wash the car or the first time I hear a plink off of the metal (and whether or not there’s damage).

The very first time on the highway after PPF install a huge piece of insulation flew up in front of my car with no way around it. It hit the bumper and went under the car. I had no damage. Then a truck in the lane next to me dropped a lump of dried dirt that flew across all the lanes, including mine. Again, no damage. I would say it’s worth it.

Dayum right... many more to come too. Tomorrow, I'm finally taking my boy out for one of them scenic drives I was talking about and i plan on filming it and posting the video. More to follow.

Of course I'm gonna look silly driving around with a contraption around my head to do said filming.

No worries, it's all about embarrassing the kiddos.

My car installed the PPF a month ago, yesterday was the day to bring into the BMW dealer for PPF inspection and trimming off the excess edges.


The car was washed before the PPF detailing. The dealer advised not to wash the car for 30 days to prevent the water goes in between the PPF and paint. So this is actually the first car wash after we pick her up.



The detailing was done. She is so beautiful!


Dealer has this device to disinfect the car (to prevent Covid-19). Very cool.

----------------------------------
This is my very first car to get a PPF. It was very expensive, but I have no regrets. Car cleaning was so easy, despite the fact I couldn't wash it with water. With a duster, I can get all the dusts and rain marks off without effort (kind of like a "dry wash"). The only thing I have to worry now is the rag top.

If you have the budget, I would strongly recommend the PPF, especially for the Frozen Gray color.

Cheers!

TAZ007 would be happy to see what you're saying here. He has the Frozen Gray as well and was wondering how it all worked out. Also, glad to hear that you have no regrets! It is great peace of mind. I was told not to wash for 14 days. I'll give it 3 weeks and then rinse down with water to see how that works out. Wonder what happens if it rains!!!!!

Thanks. That first pic with the steam clean of the engine compartment is a special service. Nice.

I think it's part of their car washing process here at BMW Dealer in Thailand. I see them doing it on every car, not just mine.

It is certainly nice they have done that. It was quite dusty inside there with only 600km of driving.

The way they do PPF here in Thailand was to wrap around the edges of the car panels and leave it for 30 days. They say it's to prevent the water from going in. After 30 days, they trim the excess off so the PPF edge is flush with the edge of the panels. The workmanship was great. Not sure if it's the way they do it in the States?
