XPEL PPF Thoughts

Worrying about cosmetics on a car that you track frequently can be at the very least frustrating.

You cant really have a show quality car if you daily drive it and especially if you track it. But being as I would like to keep this car as nice as possible I have looked into putting some XPEL Ultimate PPF on my car.

The first piece I had wrapped is my Zl1 style front spoiler extension that you see a pic of below. This was a BRAND new EOS piece that was GLOSS black and I immediately took it to a shop and had then wrap it with CLEAR XPEL PPF. This particular PPF is self healing so if it gets some surface scratches they will typically smooth themselves out after the PPF heats up with either a heat gun or direct sunlight (not problem in TEXAS).

What I DIDNT know is that XPEL PPF DOES comes in a limited amount of colors (non-metallic gloss black being one of them).

So step TWO with be to wrap the front bumper bar which DOES have some chips in it now with XPEL GLOSS black PPF. This stuff is 8 mil thick and SHOULD be pretty durable. I am ALSO going to the wrap the area in FRONT of the rear wheels as this area takes a beating.

Step THREE would be to perhaps do a half hood wrap assuming that the color match is good.
