I used the same pinnacle car wash cleaner that I used on the rest of my car. No special treatment. Xpel has a special cleaner for more stubborn marks like tire marks or tar. That works pretty well, but didn't use very often.

Now that I think of it, I had a silver 350z once. That didn't have visible chips when it was clean. But when washing over the front clip it felt like sand paper. |

Yeah now they said it's $750. I'm getting it done. Suppose to cover the whole front end including side view mirrors.

I didn't get mine done. Honestly didn't know anything about ppf when I bought it. Wish i had. Now I have 6000 miles on it and have a few good chips. It's not a daily driver, but it gets driven to the track and has picked up some issues. Now I am looking at significant paint correction before the film is applied. Not sure what I am going to do. Really want something on it before i head to fest this summer.

. It has coverage from the factory but it's all beat up and chips are least double the height of the protection. Maybe that won't be the case with wider zl1 fenders. On my next camaro (if I end up in 1le) protection on headlights and front of the rear wheels will defiantly be priority. |

Just dropped mine off for Xpel this AM. It's been sitting in my garage for about 3 weeks waiting for this appointment...

Avoid
Avoid Speed Specialists in Addison. They do not have a clean room and two times dirt under the film. Still fighting it out with the Credit Card company about refund for inferior workmanship.

Haha I know the feeling. It was TORTURE just sitting in my garage for 3-weeks. After seeing the post about the "first rock chip" I wasn't going to risk a single thing.

That's what I was thinking, are they manufacturing the Xpel before installing it? Many cars fully wrapped, longest one I think was 5 days, one of which was paint correction, 3 days of install, one day sitting in the heated bay to let it "cure".
