For PPF protection (as opposed to wrapping) there was really only two brands available mainstream when I had my sepang 7 PPF’d - Suntek and Xpel. I looked at both and finally went with Suntek as it’s crystal clear when on the car. I know there are now other brands available.
I bought the car and it went straight to Auto-Protek in Ascot for a full paint prep protection detail, including machine polish etc. I had a full frontal Suntek PPF applied followed by a Gteqniq ceramic coating all over, including on top of the Suntek. Took 2.5 days all in, including curing time. Total cost was (if I remember right) £1300. I did have some initial PPF lifting around the lower wheel arch, but was fixed on a revisit and no further problems.
Could I have done the ceramic coating myself? Maybe, but I watched him work on the car for the first hour, and the meticulous attention to detail and the tools he had available told me that it was best left to a professional detailer. I’ll stick to my weekly Snowfoam routine and rainwater rinse! I don’t have the tools, time or workspace for a DIY ceramic application!
Fast forward 3+ years and 45k miles, and I sustained some damage to driver side front wing. Took it to my trusted local bodyshop, and he had no idea the wing had been PPF’d until l told him, and after he had examined for the repair estimate. That’s how good it is!
Replacement of the wing PPF cost £180, a week after the wing repair and repaint was completed. Replaced with Suntek obviously, and it’s again invisible and a complete match to the rest of the PPF.
Treated the car to a full (2 day) paint correction treatment including mechanical polish and ceramic coating (Gteqniq again) for its 4th birthday and the detailer didn’t identify PPF on the front of the car until l told him. It really is that good.
My only (recent) gripe is that I picked up a motorway stone “chip” on the bonnet front, that didn’t penetrate the paint, but nicked the PPF. PPF is (obviously....?) not repairable so would need a full strip and rePPF followed by ceramic coating. Quote was £500.
It can stay with a tiny nick for now
