Which PPF Brand Should You Get for Your Tesla? Durability Test Part 2 - TESBROS
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Part 2 is finally here! Can't decide what brand is right for you? We brought out the old bumper again to put some top brands to the test: XPEL Ultimate Plus, Llumar Platinum, 3M Scotchgard PPF 200 Series, STEK DynoShield, and Avery Supreme Defense. And this time, we wrapped it in black so you can see the testing better than last time.

Does PPF comes in different colors or just transparent?
For part 3 it would also be interesting if the behavior of the film and its hydrophobic coating/cover change after you cleaned up the Sharpie with alcohol or some other cleaner and do it a second time. Is it a one time coating or does it keep the good hydrophobic features over multiple cleanings. Reason is that the Sharpie or some dirt should not enforce a film replacement compared to a keyscratch or similar.
Great videos! It seems 3M and STEK are the best. Were you able to tell which one is the most clear/glossy? Would you do a yellowing/UV test? Thanks!

Can you test ppf from lexen
I appreciate this video because there aren't many like it out there right now. The only unfortunate thing is that it's not completely apples to apples since all of these brands have a product that does have a hydrophobic or ceramic like layer. XPEL Fusion, LLumar Valor, SunTek Reaction, Kavaca ceramic coated, Stek DYNOshield, 3M PRO SERIES 200 Also, something I'm learning when looking up PPFs is the difference in the way the surface looks. I guess the common terminology is 'orange peel' due to the texture. I would like to know what they look like compared side by side.
@tesbros
Жыл бұрын
Most PPF nowadays has a hydrophobic layer, which is great and highly recommended as it’ll help your film last longer by cleaning up easier. And the texture is usually due to the paint underneath. If you have bad paint spots like the orange peel or any other imperfections, you’ll need to get that fixed before applying PPF. It’ll definitely improve your chances of it turning out smooth. In all the films here, I’ve never had issues with their texture. That’s a great question though and we’ll see if we can make a video about that!
Hey there!, I recently heard of a new Llumar PPF, it's called "Valor", have you tried this one? They announce it as an amazing PPF, i would love to see its performance compared to what we can see from the 3m. Greetings and thanks for all the content you sahre here in YT bro!!
@tesbros
Жыл бұрын
Haven't used that one yet, but it looks like the biggest difference between platinum and valor is that valor has more shine and hydrophobic properties. The only thing about PPF that comes factory ceramic coated is that it usually doesn't last but about 6 months, so I recommend ceramic coating it anyway if you want that shine and hydrophobicity to last at least a couple of years. We'll have to add that to our list to try though! Thanks for your support!
These tests are awesome! Are you able to apply sealant and/or wax to any of these films? Just bought a new black car and am planning to ppf the full front. Ceramic coating entire car is out of my budget so I’m looking at using sealants and wax. My main priority is adding hydrophobic properties as well as UV protection. Thanks for the video!
@tesbros

Yes you can add coatings and wax on top of PPF, just not underneath! Definitely understand staying within budget, so if you are interested in ceramic coating still and you're okay trying the DIY route, Gyeon MOHS EVO is a great ceramic coating for beginners - tesbros.com/products/gyeon-q-mohs-evo-basic-bundle .

You don't understand the bead test. The smallest beads were on STEK. The smaller the beads, the more hydrophobic. Bigger beads is less hydrophobic, not better my friend. I make hydrophobic glass for Lexus. Hope that helps.
Why not test with a sand blaster with different grit size over a month?

Just a car wash bro! But if you want to make it really shine, you can DIY ceramic coat it. We suggest Mohs Evo since it's so easy for beginners!

I appreciate what you do, but may I suggest a control panel.. a section without any protection to compare with the others. Also, hit them with a heat gun to see how well they "self heal" which is one of their selling points. Also get a full spectrum UV light and put it above them for a week or more to test UV protection of the plain paint as well as each section of film protected area. Doing just a bumper tests that fine, but you should also do a hood or body panel (from any newer car in a junk yard) to test the same characteristics. Remember, the rubber bumper will absorb more punishment than solid metal.

@tesbros the info you're giving here is wrong, the "ceramic" part of dynoshield is covered in their 10 year warranty as well but you do need to look after it properly like you would to any ceramic coated car, in terms of applying ceramic over the film - yes you can and it will help the film "age" better over time but does stop its self healing abilities to a large degree so it depends on what's more important for the customer

Most ppf companies now put a hydrophobic coating but they are factory coated and don’t last compared to if you applied it. So personally, yes I’d cost it after. Also, it’s much easier if you do it right away since it’s spanking new and doesn’t require as much prep. Id recommend gtechniq halo or gyeon mohs for ppf.

So it depends upon the psi and time (that’s the intensity of the impact). Films with higher tensile strength are the ones that rip easily. Their positive point is easier application but negative is fragility. I won’t mention names since all regions are different. You can just use this data to make a better decision wherever you are.

oh my ears...
I stopped the video at the "marshmallow test." Ma dude... PPF will almost certainly never see marshmallows on it. You can't substitute bird poop which is digested and partially digested protein which is a acidic to pure sugar fluffs. Doesn't work that way, plus PPF is mainly for impact resistance, most car guys that I know carry wipes to get the bird poop off as soon as they see it, baby wipes work great for bird poop. Next time if you're going to go through the trouble make it a realistic test.
