PPF Shop Install in DMV area
Looking to see if people have a few recommendations for a few different shops that do PPF installs in the DMV area.
I've heard about a few places such as TLC Auto Detail in Reston, VA but was wondering if there are couple other shops out there that people had experience with. Thank you! |

Anyone or know of anyone that has had experience with Detail Authority (http://www.clearbraofva.com/) or Proshield (http://www.proshieldinc.com/available-packages) for PPF?

My F82 is in the middle of the Atlantic at the moment so when i'm not stalking my ship across the ocean, i'm doing my due-diligence before it arrives and promptly gets fully wrapped in PPF. One thing to note when you are looking at PPF installers, find out if they use bulk film or kits. Personally i'm not a huge fan of kits as I think it leads to too many lines/seams. But the alternative is people cutting film next to your car's paint. Speed & Tech and Detail Authority use kits, Exotic Vehicle Wraps does not. This may help narrow your search. Also, Automotive Quality Solutions in Ashburn contracts out to Randy from Detail Authority, so skip the middle man. Hope this helps! Please post some pics once you get it done! |

https://rennlist.com/forums/991-gt3-...-question.html Carries Xpel, 3M films Speed & Tech - they do more custom work than pre-cut. it's all price point. Obviously pre-cut kits always offer the fastest install and most of these guys work for money, so it makes sense to use precut where the leg work is already done vs. bulking which has a lot of film wastage. You should def. ask them for custom if that is what you want. I have used them and seen their work. They have been doing this longer than anyone in the area. I have seen Raja's service since 2007 in the community and numerous people have been super happy with his service. Carries Xpel, 3M, Suntek, PremiumShield Designo Motoring - they do really high end work and bit expensive. But seem to have a good reputation in the exotic arena. The only thing I have heard is turnaround is a bit longer on the job. They have strong industry connection so if you want other stuff like exhaust etc, these are the guys I would go to. Carries Xpel TLC Detail - never dealt with them so not sure if they carry Xpel. But have seen few members who has used them and content. I think the owner David Miller, a very nice guy. Priced fairly and location close to major hwy. They do custom installs as well vs. precut. Check them out for sure. Exotic Vehicle Wrap - I have seen mostly vinyl wrapping from Exotic Vehicle Wrap. I went to the last wrap party, it was fun. But wasn't sure they do that many Xpel or clear film install. Although, they wrapped a i8 for Fairfax BMW and when the dealer called to come address issues they were missing in action. Speed Freak Detailing - I think they shut down for a little, they mostly used ProShield to do their install. They always prefer cash for the job. Who carries cash anymore? Captial Shine (Arlington) - they seem very reasonable in terms of pricing, does 3M and Xpel. But the location is in parking garage. For Spring summer I guess that is fine, but in winter without the temperature control this might be an issue. There are few more shops, but these are the ones I mostly researched before going with Raja. This info may be dated as well as this is from about a year ago. I had my M4 full front done there. So far very happy. Previous to this, I had gotten it done at the BMW dealership at Sterling which I was happy with as well. |

Yeah it is. Not sure who the owner is, he was working on it when I dropped by. It's pretty sweet.
