I can understand expecting a premium job done for an $8K price tag. Maybe not 100% OCD perfect but pretty darn close. It's also unacceptable to hear that the interior was damaged on a brand new car by the shop. Whomever is working on my car (especially a detailer) should treat it with more care and respect. A complete PPF wrap involves a lot of miscellaneous trim parts being removed from your car. They basically strip the car of all the removable trims to tuck in the film where possible. So it's a labor of love do it right. Hopefully the shop will stand behind their work and make the situation right for the customer.

The other one was extra coating that dried on the rear seat. That's easily removable. The problem with pre cut PPF is you get very clear lines you can see all over your car. If you are very picky, that is far worse. Just trust me on that. P.S. There where a few more areas on the door trim area too that was scuffed. Sadly because it's leather, once it's scratched or damaged it is more or less the way it is. That would be my end of opinion on this whole thing. I am not going to lose friends over this mess.

In our industry, like many service based industries quality can range from shop to shop. Overall the industry standard for paint protection film has increased exponentially over the years. The important part to always remember is that paint protection film is just that, PROTECTION. It will never be "perfection" in a way that minor imperfections can be visible due to the nature of film installations. This does not mean that the film will be an eye sore or visually unattractive. A competent installer armed with the right skillset and the right ideals will leave you with a better value than when you dropped your vehicle off.
Unfortunately, sometimes cars slip through the cracks, we are all human. But there is value in choosing the RIGHT installer to work on your car, and this oftentimes means doing research that is counter intuitive. Just because a shop has stellar reviews, does NOT mean that you will ultimately be happy with the quality of the work. The right shop will take the time to educate you and answer all questions you may have, if someone is telling you things will be "perfect" or things sound too good to be true, this is oftentimes a red flag. It is always my recommendations to invest in the person behind the blade, rather than a specific brand or product. Understand that no two installations will be identical and that its important to look at the whole process from a higher level. No shop should ever try to hide damage for a vehicle, or run away from customer concerns. Things do happen, but it is always up to that business to make it right. That, in my eyes is the mark of a true leader. To the debate whether PPF is worth it or not on a leased vehicle. Its completely up to you and your personality. If you don't care about rock chips, nor worry or cringe when driving behind vehicles on the freeway, then it is not for you. But there is a very significant portion of the market that will definitely see value in protecting their care for the sake of peace of mind, even if it does not have a direct monetary value. |

It's easy to jump to one's side when you've only heard one side of a story. I am not laying blame nor am I excusing accountability but we all know the saying "there's 3 sides to every story".

If you are asking this question you need it. I did it on my 911 and it’s a lease but I can’t stand chips. Lease, finance, cash, I have done all three and do not keep performance German cars longer than the factory warranty, but I do care about how they look while under my care. Some folks don’t care about paint chips, decide which camp you are in and act accordingly.
