Very impressive. Incredible skill and dexterity involved to produce a flawless application. This guy is a real craftsman. Really nice of him to work while your hovering around him with the camera and asking questions. This was a great episode.

you're not alone on this one!

That guy was like esoteric who?!? Lol

This guy is a wizard. I have watched countless hours of PPF installs and this guy takes the prize. I didn't see a seam anywhere. I just about fell off my chair laughing when he asked who did Matt's PPF install on his car. You could just see the guys brain say "Esoteric Who"? Then again im sure hes busy working at his craft and not watching KZread videos all the time.

A true master of his craft!

A true craftman. Skill like that is hard to find!! And thanks for the great video!

This guy does some insane work, and very humble too! Still cant understand why you guys didnt do a full wrap tho. The quarters are the only panel you cant take off the car, and which would suck most if you'd have to repaint. But each to their own! Amazing vid as always!

I am a detailer and I would not have the patience to do this kind of work. This is just a much artistry as it is science. Very impressive to watch him work and manage to get the film perfect in all those intricate places.

That takes some SERIOUS skill to install like that!

Normally I like subtle colors but that orange is just so sick!

This was the first car i ever did ppf on , i had no clue what i was doing i watched videos on youtube on how to work with the ppf, before starting the job. good times

He makes it look so easy.

Great skill by hand with a knife

This guy has nerves of steel to free hand cut with a camera over him while holding a conversation. Props

Great great great job! Very skilled man! Thank you for sharing! What squeegee are you using please?

You know what would be cool if Matt had his gt3 rs and made a cayman gt4 his daily....... thanks for the highlight you caused me to start my passion for detailing 2 years ago when I was 12.

This guy is superb at what he does. I bet Matt pulls his PPF off of his to then get this guy to do it again 😂

Que trabalho incrível ! Só poderia dizer em Português, tamanha a minha admiração por pessoas com esse dom manual !!

Am I the only person after watching this that wants to learn to install PPF? While there is no substitute for experience, how long (how much practice) to become proficient with PPF. It was fascinating to watch...

Can you do a video on door jams please those are the hardest part for me to clean

dude's a magician. wow.

Did he charge you more for asking questions? 😂. I wish I had a mechanic that would let me watch them work. Such a great opportunity to learn

He’d be a great podcast guest!

So have you kicked Esoteric to the curb Matt?

Im positive id get my finger print under the PPF. Just knowing my damn luck.

I swear my pulse and blood pressure rose just watching that PPF install. Paint and carbon fiber and razor blades - no way! I'd screw that up so bad. I could NEVER be that patient.

No cost..... Beating around the bush on camera. LMAO great reply

There is a video of a new wrap that doesn't need soap lube. It just slides around until it's squeezed out.

Did you delete the video of that random guy that drove along in a black 700+ whp 911 Matt? I couldn’t find it ?

I went down to the Dodge Dealership a while back. I had to get my Durango serviced. I never knew that you can get PPF installed from the dealership. To get the hood and front fenders done, it was about 1500.

How come they just don’t use a big sheet of PPE why do they custom cut every piece

Fuel door can be removed for 2-3 sec, each headlight 25-30sec. Much better for quality PPF install .

Matt you want to talk to the installer of that PPF what spray bottles he likes to use I’m assuming he must go through quite a lot doing cars!

Something I don't understand - When you wrap a panel with vinyl, it's crucial to start at the middle and work out to the edges in straight lines across the whole panel to avoid trapping any bubbles underneath. This never seems to be the case with PPF, because obviously they have to make sure the edges are correct first, but how then can the film be squeegee'd smooth when the edges are down? Mainly those hood vents - surely sticking them down first would only cause problems when trying to squeegee the rest of the hood?! Baffling 😂

Now this is a person I would trust with my PPF. I would do my car in a second if he was local to me. :(

Great work and this was so ASMR. Who the hell is paying 8k though that's nuts? How much does the film really cost?

Have you considered using STEK Dynoshield? I'm about to do a new GT350 and the installer uses both Suntek & STEK but recommends the STEK because of its Hydrophobic coating.

Let me know when you've sat down on your arse for 40 hours polishing a vehicle. How do you think they put PPF onto a car? Just get a square piece and cut it to shape with some scissors? You shape each piece to the panel of the vehicle. It's like a vinyl, you peel it off the backing and apply it to the area. Like anything, it takes time. Which justifies the outrageous cost, you have materials cost (high end ppf), labour (never cheap), and many have overheads to pay for. 8 Grand isn't expensive when you compare it to the price of the car. @RICARDO

The downside to not doing the whole car is that over time you'll see a bigger difference in the finish. No matter how carefully you wash, you'll get minor swirling in the non-PPF sections. The PPF will self heal, so won't show these. Not a big deal arguably, but it's why I favour doing all, or nothing.

It takes years of experience or someone with a natural born ability. I fall in the latter.

Im from mtl and a have been in the ppf industry for over 6 years. Im 27 and have to say from the way the film is being installed, definitely looks beginner level. Even the way he cuts with his knife is dangerous.

For what that car costs, 8k seems reasonable to wrap the full car. Protect the original paint.
