Mud flaps and Lotus fitted protected film

[Tailslides]

£3,490 + VAT = £4,188 with my installer

That's a good price for a whole car ATD in Beverley expect £4k + vat. Where is your installer based, maybe he would do a club deal

Thanks, a long way from East Yorkshire but then most places are including Litchfields

I don't know firms up that way but I'm sure someone on MLOC (www.midlandslotus.co.uk) would have suggestions.

Looks pretty good!
Be nice to get a black ppf black option as well 😁😇

I have had the GR Yaris put through LogicVPC's Liquid PPF treatment and the results are quite impressive. So far, it has worked out well. The treatment carries a 5-year warranty, and, more importantly, there are no gaps or seams since the PPF is sprayed on.

However, since some of the body panels/parts need to be removed before they can be treated, and depending on how much of the car you wish to have protected, it may turn out to be costly. In the case of the GRY, the cost was around £2.5K. The quote for the Exige S RGB came to £3.5K.

Yellowing aside, does anyone know how these Liquid PPF treatments compare to the Xpel-type PPF treatments in terms of longevity, especially if the PPF is ceramic coated?

I will PPF and Ceramic Coat the entire car. Something not mentioned often after ceramic coating is applying a boost application every 3 months. I do that as well.

That’s absolutely right

That's still a good price

Liquid PPF is a new one on me. What's their view around being able to repair it if it gets marked, or even wanting to remove it. Or is that just not 'a thing' if you go for it. Those prices are very good compared to full traditional PPF, I've been ballpark quoted £3-4k to do the Emira fully.

 

[freefall_junkie]

I'll definitely get getting PPF for the front and sills of my car. I have just realised that sadly this probably rules out collecting the car from the factory as I wouldn't really want to drive the 400 odd miles home in a new car before the PPF is applied :-( . Fortunately my local dealer Parks has a very good Xpel installer nearby so hopefully I'll be able to arrange to have the car done before collection.

Liquid PPF can be peeled off leaving the paint underneath untouched, and if the PPF is ceramic coated, which is recommended, cleaning becomes a breeze. If both the ceramic coating and PPF layer are damaged then that whole panel/part needs to be stripped and retreated.

Here are photos of the GR Yaris (Platinum White Pearl Mica finish) - the front and sides (upto the roofline) have been treated with liquid PPF, including the headlight and fog light units, and topped off using Gtechniq HALO.

As someone who is really into detailing cars, I have never heard the term "liquid PPF" so I had to Google it. The fact that PPF is an actual film that is laid on and very tough to break through, makes me think the "liquid" version cannot possibly have the same protective qualities as the actual film itself. It seems kind of gimmicky to me.

The benefit of Liquid PPF is that the layer is completely invincible and there is no yellowing with age since the film goes over edges and around corners. Ceramic coating on top using a suitable product such as Gtechnique HALO will further enhance its protection and makes cleaning very easy.

How thick (tough) the coating is will depend on how many layers you go for - check here for more details: https://www.logicvpc.com/liquid-protection-film/

They are only 40 mins drive from where I live. Thanks for posting.

1. No idea about PPF. Love learning from you all. Thank you so much!

2. No clue about Ceramics either. See #1.

3. Any referrals for TX locations, preferably the DFW (Dallas, Fort Worth) area would be appreciated.

4. The poor “mud flap” section of this thread getting 0 love… The ‘18 Evora I picked up has some tiny flaps in the front only. Not sure if they were stock.

There are always new technological advancements. I was told the new XPEL PPF films had largely eliminated the yellowing of the past. I wonder how long this liquid PPF has been used and whether or not there are people who have had it on their car for years. I am going to ask my installer if he is aware of this and see what he says.

I am curious as to how this would be removed since it is all over the car. Thanks for sharing.
