I paid over $1,400 to have Xpel Partial Frontal on my e93! I had to brought the car back 2 times for multiple issues.
My buddy helped me with my VW Id4, full Frontal Suntek pre-cut.. It wasn't too bad!
We recently got the Cayenne as a family car! Tried again with Full Frontal Suntek Pre-cut. Unfortunately, Suntek is cracking down on retail sell (supposed to be for certified Pros only) so it was extremely difficult and my buddy thinks the PPF wasn't Suntek.
Here are some of my lessons learned:
-Prepping is very critical! At least a one stage polish to make sure the surfaces are pristine. Including the underside if want to tug the PPF.
-Make sure you wash off every nook and cranny so not dirt will come out during PPF installation.
- Have a very clean, bright working area is a a must.
- Pre-cut are great but bulk PPF is so much easier for certain parts of the car.
-The brand of PPF is also important. Somes are easier than others.
I would do it again.
