Project of the month: XPEL Paint Protection Film application on the Mercedes AMG GT-53

The new Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé combines impressive sports car performance with the suitability for everyday use of an elegant four-door. An expressive design with deep-drawn bonnet, dominant front, and muscular body language emphasizes the sport genes of the four-door coupé.

AMG Aerodynamics package

The AMG Aerodynamics package has been developed in the wind tunnel to improve handling at high speeds and provides the basis for even greater driving enjoyment. The attachments increase the negative lift force while reducing drag. The fixed rear aerofoil demonstrates a clear commitment to uncompromising performance.

What has been done on the car?

Our recent happy client is the owner of this beast, the GT-53. He wanted the

XPEL Stealth PPF

to protect his car. He opted for Stealth instead of Ultimate Plus to be applied on his new car as it already has a matte finish.

XPEL Stealth PPF

not only protects your car’s painted surfaces from bug acids and road debris but also gives it a matte finish.

For instance, if your color is gloss grey, the

XPRL Stealth PPF

will make it look matte grey. This product carries a

10 year

warranty against, yellowing, cracking, peeling, staining, and hazing, covering both film and labor. XPEL ULTIMATE is truly the most revolutionary Paint Protection Film ever invented!

4 MAJOR BENEFITS OF XPEL PROTECTIVE FILM

1. COST SAVINGS

XPEL film protects the lead vulnerable edges of your vehicle. These are the areas that take the most wear and tear on your vehicle. Exterior damage to these areas greatly reduces the value of your asset. A clear film for cars such as

XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS

is a great way to save costs.

2. PROTECTION FROM IMPACTFUL MATERIALS

A rock chip from the freeway or roadside can be an absolute nightmare. Preventing a chip on the vulnerable areas of your car that may require paint repair can be a huge relief.

3. REDUCE THE SWIRLS

XPEL ULTIMATE PLUS

greatly reduces the likelihood of getting unsightly wash lines that cause swirling and spider webbing. XPEL’s self-healing film self corrects wash line damage, and minor abrasions using only the heat from the sun.

4. DRIVE A NEW CAR EVERY DAY

XPEL

film keeps your vehicle’s paint in a factory-quality condition. Let your vehicle shine for years to come by protecting your paint with a protective film.

Challenges faced while applying the paint protection film.

‍PPF installation is very difficult, time consuming, very intricate, and costly. The material isn’t cheap and if there is dirt, hair or silvering (film that is stretched too much) means that piece has to be replaced.

Bubbles, lift lines, and water under the film are common occurrences with every install. Lift lines are where a section has been laid then has to be lifted to remove an air bubble or speck of dirt. Air bubbles will evaporate over several days (or weeks, depending on weather) when the film is exposed to heat. If air bubbles are still on the film, the only way to remove it is to suck the air out with a needle. Expect these things to happen right after a PPF installation.
