I’ve done decent amount of small PPF work and have learned to work with it. Heating, resetting, stretching etc. I just did the upper most part of my bumper. Thought it looked great, until the next day when I could really see it in the light. Either a cat hair or my own hair got entrapped under the film. I just couldn’t live with it and pulled the film off. Next time (if there is one) it’s a fresh set of clothes and a clean dew rag for me.

Its extraordinarily difficult to keep debris from getting under the film (in a home garage situation / or outdoors as an amateur). Really good lighting is imperative as well. Anything low on the body requires (at least for me) a sheet on the ground. Once your heads touch the bare ground with wet hands and you decide to readjust, it’s game over.

No way.

ZL1 fronts are far too difficult for the average joe to DIY. Hire the best pro in your area and pay them well.
