Here we have a two-piece mirror installation. Why two pieces? Not every mirror can be completed with one piece, and even if it could, it is more than likely not the best route to take. Why? Because our PPF is 8mil to provide the best protection possible. When over-stretched it becomes 6mil or 5mil or even less in thickness, so it doesn't provide as much protection and leaves the area vulnerable to damage. Also, over-stretching can lead to pulling back or premature failure when this film is designed to last up to 10 years if properly maintained.

In this short video you can see how we installed the leading edge first with minimum stretch and full coverage. The second phase we installed the top piece, again with minimal stretch and complete coverage. Now the hard part! Seaming the two pieces together as tight as possible. This is something I've been working pretty hard on and I'm pretty happy that both of these mirrors were done first try, with a tight seam, which isn't always the case!

STEK Dynoshield offers outstanding protection with its 8mil thickness, self-healing properties, and advanced hydrophobic top coat that repels water, dirt, and contaminants for easier maintenance. It delivers a high-gloss finish while resisting stains, UV damage, and rock chips, all backed by a 10-year warranty.

No car is perfect. Almost no PPF install is absolutely perfect. But this is wild. Over 20 pieces of dirt in the clear on this hood. While we always strive for a perfect install we also deal with manufacturer defects. This is the worst ive seen as far as quantity of defects on a single panel.

Oof.

Final pieces going on the Ranger today. One of the most beneficial pieces (besides the front end) for PPF is the lower doors or rocker panels depending on the vehicle. Everyone with aftermarket wheels and tires has rock chips on the lower portion of the vehicles from aggressive tires slinging stuff up. This is a great way to protect rhe paint and keep your vehicle looking like new!

Short time lapse of a fender install we did today on a new Ranger. Our customer will be towing this behind his motor home and wants it protected right! We are doing a full front plus additional impact zone. This includes the front bumper, front quarter panels, a-pillars, roof strip, and the lower doors! The rest of the paint will get a light correction and application of Gtechniq EXOv5!

Today we have a returning vehicle. We protected this vehicle when purchased with a partial front end PPF package and ceramic coating on the exposed paint. Its in for its yearly deep clean! Its been 2.5 years and still looking good! We will top coat with C2v4 for additional protection, gloss, and hydrophobics.

Help us fill our July schedule. We only have a few slots left for PPF and ceramic. Super grateful for all the support, its been a busy summer so far!

Laying down STEK USA DYNOshield on this 25 Palisade. It was in for some body work and needed the drivers side redone. We are doing a bulk install to match the existing PPF job as best as possible! Some trim work and a few more pieces to go!
