wonderful video

1) Good job and thank you for sharing your knowledge. 2) Please make another video how to deal with corners and edges. 3) Which material do you prefer (brand name, prices detail etc.) 4) Many times camera issues because your hand is second object behind another one. Keep great work sir ! :)

2) For corners, i'll typically place the PPF right inside the corner. This makes for a long lasting wrap without the possibility that the corner will peel back and fail. This video of wrapping the Model Y hood gives a good example of that and how I handle rolling over edges - kzread.info/dash/bejne/fZyj25Vxh6_Yd7w.html 3) I usually work with Avery, STEK, or XPEL I'll take note of these ideas for future videos, but hopefully this helps for now!

Can you also tell us about the mixture of the spray solution? We would greatly appreciate it! Thanks in advance.

I use 5ml of seventh gen dish soap with 1000ml of distilled or filtered water. I have it dialed with our shop temp but this can vary depending on your environment so adjust accordingly.

Thank for your Very useful tips ,can i know what solution you are spraying and what its composition (tac solution, slip solution)? Is the film resistant to bird droppings?

@tesbros

9 күн бұрын

Slip: 5ml of soap (we use 7th gen dish soap) to 1000 ml of distilled water Tack: 80% distilled water to 20% of 70% isopropyl alcohol PPF is resistant to bird droppings due to some hydrophobic properties, but I would still try to get them off within a week as they can etch into the film. PPF will make it easier to clean though

Slip is to move the PPF around and slide it into place. Tack is to flush the slip solution out when it's in place and let the PPF adhere better. Here's more info on slip and tack solutions - kzread.info/dash/bejne/oqSNrZmJeJyzdKw.html - and a better idea of how they work together here - kzread.info/dash/bejne/fZyj25Vxh6_Yd7w.html

Did you ever make another video on getting rid of air bubbles =x have a couple on my install - smaller than a nickel, but sounds like air bubbles don’t really go away on their own?

We haven't yet, but if you feel comfortable doing this, you can insert a syringe with a very small needle at an angle (don't go far) and then suck the air out.

Hi, I have a question regarding the PPF (Paint Protection Film) product you are selling. In hot weather conditions, such as when temperatures rise over 110 degrees Fahrenheit in California, would the PPF start melting similar to what happens when hot water is applied to its surface for removal? Thank you for your assistance in clarifying this.

@tesbros

10 ай бұрын

Great question! No, PPF’s melting point is around 347 degrees F, so you don’t have to worry about that. PPF being on your car in the summer is especially helpful in protecting against UV rays and self healing scratches.

they do!

Did my first PPF today on a small panel just to learn. I got lots of tiny bubbles. Turns out I just wasn’t pushing hard enough with the squeegee. The slip solution kind of hides small imperfections but as it dries out all these micro bubbles appeared. So you gotta push HARD to force the film to be air tight to the paint. Maybe they would have gone away with time but it looked terrible so I redid it and things came out 99% bubble free on round 2. Also noticed more bubbles on the edges, likely dirt that was forced under from aggressive spraying solution. So the edges and areas where the film overlaps (bulk install) must be surgically clean - zero dirt, wax, etc.

@tesbros

Yeah once you get a feel of the pressure required, it gets much easier. And installing in a clean space with no airflow directly on your car helps a ton. Best of luck as you keep practicing and installing!

Is there any way of lifting factory paint of the painted bumper during stretching on bulk installation on the rear bumper?

@tesbros

No, installation shouldn't harm OEM paint at all

What about raised bumps in the front bumper? They are almost feel hard to the touch. Is this from rock chips, debris or something else? PPF installer said bumper needs to be sanded down and repainted for these not to be appear. Not sure if they are telling the truth. Any thoughts?

@tesbros

11 ай бұрын

Hard to say without seeing it, but if it’s bumpy, it could be multiple things like rock chips or paint contamination. I’d start with clay bar and then if still bumpy, decide if it needs to be sanded. But usually if it is a rock chip, I'd do paint touch up and then you'd still feel bumps and they are right. Unless you sand and repaint, you will feel that bump. If you want to send photos via email to support@tesbros.com or twitter/instagram @teslabros, I can give you a better answer

It's going to be 10x harder to install outdoors since the temperature, humidity, wind, and debris can't be controlled. I would find a friend with a garage if you can. If it's too hot or too cold alone, you'll have a hard time.

What can I do about really small but noticeable fingers along the wheel well that always come back overnight? Maybe 2mm wide at the opening and 2mm tall. It's been a couple days and multiple times a day I press them down, but then they pop back overnight or during the day. It seems like maybe the adhesive is compromised at this point and will never stick down

I have similar problem on my PPF installed on headlight. Those wrinkles at the edge really drive me mad. The hot gun did not help. Desperately, I cut the wrinkles part. It ain't good but I can live with it.

Now i get it. Slip Solution for general application. Hot solution for fingers Tac solution for excess material. What's the ratio for all 3? water to soap and alcohol for tac?

Lift it as soon as you see the line, spray a ton of slip solution underneath and then squeegee hard in the opposite direction than what you originally did.

Pull it back past the line, spray a lot of slip solution, and then squeegee the opposition direction. So if the line was 180, squeegee sideways and then down.

do you have to put ceramic coating on ppf? or is it build in?

A lot of ceramic comes with hydrophobic properties nowadays (just check with your installer) but that only lasts about 6 months. If you want 2-3 years, then you can put a coating on top like this

It’ll be a lot harder that way because when you spray it, it’ll want to come down. And if you try to reach in and get it out, you risk adding more contamination under the film. Try to work with gravity when removing any debris if possible
