Over the years I’ve had 16+ cars wrapped/ detailed/ partial wrapped there. I think all the pricing is all about the same across the competitors. Tbh I’ve never been disappointed so never had the need to switch vendors. Always has been negotiable. Never any attitude from his guys and sometimes I can be anal about the little details lol |

my vote goes to Detailers Domain! a lot of the other shops can leave blade marks on your paint if they are not careful. some shops sub-contract their work. the biggest plus with Phil DetailersDomain would be the combination of the quality of work and the support/warranty it comes with it. not a lot of these other places will come with Phil's crazy level of of OCD and his world-class approach to customer satisfaction.
you can checkout the IG story in my signature on his work on my M2C. oh, BTW, i live 6.5 hours away! here is my 135is when they did PPF and full ceramic coating on the car, calipers, and wheels. my M2C

How much does it cost to do a bumper and hood? My car has a couple small chips on it. Not sure it is too late. I didnt get it done because I was going to lease the new G80 until I saw what it looked like so plans have changed and I'm planning on buying it out.
Also, if I want to do just the headlights how much do you think that will cost me? I can see some pitting going on on the lense (its not bad) when the headlights are on and thats starting to bother me. I guess they need to clean that up first and then apply ppf.

https://www.drcolorchip.com/ For most cars 3-5+ years old and depending on mileage+cold weather, you might need to get your bumper repainted. In general costs are... $1800-2400 for Ceramic Coating + 2-3 Stage Paint Correction + Warranty $2100 for Front End PPF like XPEL Ultimate + Warranty XPEL Stealth gives you a Frozen Matte look, but you have to do the whole car, not just the front end. Just go my Interlagos Blue E90 M3 back from PPF/Ceramic Coating in SoCal...I repainted most body panels that needed it in advance. But the clear headlight lens were trashed after 190k miles...so they could not be PPF'ed. Moisture might have gotten in from angel eyes, or it is just extreme pitting. Cheers |

APC is Auto Polishing Center near the NJ/NY border.
https://autopolishingcenter.com/serv...ecial-services They do carry XPEL Ultimate PPF + Ceramic Pro 9H and Optimum Opti-Coat. So we have a Winner. Cheers |

Detailers Domain carries XPEL and Optimum Opti-Coat, which is a good combination.
I am sure if you ask they can get Ceramic Pro 9H. That requires heat lamps, which I am sure the shop has. In general, if you want certain PPF and Ceramic Coatings, plus Tint products for your whip, you might have to go to different shops. Some shops are limited to carrying certain products exclusively for an area, and are prohibited from carrying a competitor's products. But their local distributors can sell them anything they want. But most of these products have warranties lasting several years, and might not honor them if an unauthorized shop installs them. Here are two examples for my two BMWs: BMW F30 335i Optimum Opti-Coat Pro Plus - Shop A XPEL Ultimate Plus - Shop A 3M Carbon Fiber Roof Wrap - Shop A BMW E90 M3 Ceramic Pro 9H - Shop A XPEL Ultimate Plus - Shop A 3M Carbon Fiber Roof Wrap - Shop A ClearPlex Windshield Protection - Shop B XPEL Prime XR Plus Tint - Shop B Note: Shop A doesn't advertise that they can do Ceramic Pro 9H and promotes Optimum Products. Shop A carries XPEL PPF, but not XPEL Tint. Shop A carries 3M Tint. Shop B carries XPEL Tint, but not XPEL PPF. Happy OCD... Cheers |

I'm getting full Xpel wrap at APC. Reasonably priced and I got a chance to see their work on very high end cars. Im sure Phil is great, but seemed like he would def rather work on new cars. Less paint correction work and no rock chips. My car had very few imperfections and I did not think paying and extra $1800 was worth it.

Sad to say I've had very bad experiences with them and have brought many customers to DD. But hey your prerogative.

You do realize they're doing very high end cars. I'm not sure about when they started. But what business owner wants to do a horrible job. Also, These installers jump around like chefs at restaurants. Phil does a great job. It just seems like he likes doing new cars. I only know what a paint correction entails from youtube videos. But a new car should require less work then a 2 year old car. Plus he changed the price on me probably to scare me away. No big deal.
I have full faith in APC. Check out they're instagram/facebook page. |
