Whats the obsession with PPF'ing an entire car? If it barely gets driven, do the nose and call it a day.

peteinpa · 09-03-2022, 07:11 PM

Beautiful. Killer combo.

It will be my DD. The outgoing F80 has the front PPF'd and that covered 99% of my issues.

Sweet color combo

The Ppf always makes the car look polished, plus it prevents against scratches and bird droppings. At least consider doing the full roof, boot lid and rear bar.

Looks great... what's the deal with the new bmw roundel badges? I've seen them before but what does it mean? Very different...

Overcast day in most of Texas. Once I pick it up, I'll shoot and upload some photos with better light!

Was out driving today and got invited to add my car to a local car show. Still need to do some shots in the sunlight. The drive home from San Antonio to Houston yesterday was really nice, except for all the traffic on I-10. Can't wait for the break in period to be over and see what it really can do.

Even when a vehicle is clean and you wipe it down with a detailing spray, the possibility of introducing swirl marks in the clear coat can happen. This can be easily seen with darker colored cars and under led lights. When I bought my 15 M3 new in July of 2014 I had the full front end done with PPF. Even using the two-bucket wash method and using a battery powered leaf blower to dry the car I still could see very fine swirl marks in the paint and my M3 was white. My M5 has the entire vehicle covered in PPF and I will do the same with my next vehicle. While it cost more, I do not have to pull out the Flex polisher to do paint correction. I wipe the M5 down with detail spray and no scratches.
