Check out the YouTube on my car getting wrapped.

Well worth the money spent

Looks great-they did an excellent job.

Had mine done last week too!

Approximate cost?

I hope they didn't charge by the hour. They move awfully slowly.

docent

$5000 for the whole car. 72 pieces of XPEL total.

stripe was an additional $500. GM wants $1000

Its a life saver. Definitely keeps your ride looking new

Never been a "plastic guy" on my warehouse rides but that looks well done and very nice !

Going with a clear bra & a few other bits. To do the entire car I was quoted $7,200 without labor. Seems too steep to me.

docent

Too much $$$$$. I'd get a couple quotes. You have the option
to do - - - portions of your car. My 63, I had them put on a clear bra,
and door edges. But, that's too much money for a full car.

Well done!!!

That is very expensive for a full wrap... especially without labour included. $6,000 all-in would be closer to what I've seen before.

i Have a torch red C8 im gonna have the nose and hi impact areas done with xpel first week in june
did you do ceramic coating on top of the xpel ?

docent

I don't know if you need to. You would be applying it on the XPEL, and not the paint.
I asked Tyler, and he suggested just a "spray detailer" on top of the XPEL. Ceramic is
expensive. I don't know if you can enhance the shine anymore, than just the XPEL product itself.

I applied my own Ceramic coating at home on top of my Xpel. Lots of options that aren't too tough to work with. They work just as well on a film with the real benefit being the hydrophobic properties and ease of cleaning the car. I find a ceramic coating makes a BIG difference in keeping the car clean IMO.

Looks great, but $6-7K is a bit rich for my blood....

I put a ceramic coating on my car when I got it in Aug 2015.... did it myself.... a real PIA, but cost me about $250 for the kit.... a Wolfgang product from Autogeek.... I'm sure there are better products on the market now...

Supposed to only be good for 2-3 years, but 5 years on its still holding up.... just a quick wash with mild soap, rinse and dry with microfiber... 15 minutes, .... no wax, and paint still looks new, and really protects against bird ****, water spots, chemicals, roadtar, bugs, and other stuff that can ruin paint over time... Now, it doesn't protect against rock chips, but a clear bra may be a cost-effective compromise.

If you're on a budget, it's money well spent, but for a few hundred extra, I'd consider using a pro detail shop to do the work.
