PPF and ceramic coating results!

MJ6 · 08-01-2020, 06:29 PM

I just got my M4 back from a local PPF shop in Virginia Beach (Dirty Details) for paint correction, full PPF coverage with SunTek Ultimate, and two coats of Cquartz Pro.
To say that I'm impressed with the quality of their work would be a severe understatement; all badges were removed including side gills, and you have to look really closely to see any edges.
Just wanted to share my excitement as it came out far better than I could have hoped for!

How much did you spend?

Congrats. Wow full PPF is serious! I'm about to throw PPF on our new car's front and hood (for a lot), but the CQuartz and Gliss will be done at home for a savings of $1430.

Pics?

All said and done, just north of 5k. And for the quality of the wrapping job they did I'd say it was worth every penny.

Gorgeous! It's a lot of money to put down all at once but it will pay dividends over many years protecting your paint. Looks great.

Just curious, but will you be maintaining your car yourself?

That's the plan: pressure wash with a foam cannon, and blow dry with an air cannon. I'll likely follow up with some ceramic reload spray every other month in order to maintain high hydrophobicity.
