BMW F10 M5 : Xpel Prime XR Plus Window Tint - Mobile Tint Installation

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Martin from Alligator Window Tint and Detail reached out to me about doing tint on my cars. Luckily for me, he's fully mobile and came up to OG HQ to work on the M5 and Corvette. He installed some Xpel Prime XR Plus on the front windshield of the M5. I've never used Xpel on any of my cars, so I'm looking to see how it compares against Llumar Air Blue 80.

    That looks like a right ballache of a job to do. I don't envy him, I'm guessing the best/easiest time to tint the front screen is when you are having a replacement and they can do it before it's fitted.

    I'm getting XPEL Prime XR Plus 70 on my 1991 Mazda B2600i Cab Plus as I type this. Front windshield, doors, cab plus windows and back glass. I need to as that thing has ALOT of clear glass on it. And I want it to look "stockish" looking instead of dark. Plus it will help that AC system work a little less hard.

Got everything besides the sunroof done. Honestly watching this makes me want to learn how to tint and do PPF work, etc
