I have watched a few of these more than once. This video showed more real time detail than others. I see where I made a bunch of mistakes on my first attempt, on my 2021 Ranger hood. I left too much material on my edges. I had so many bubbles that I didn't know were there that I couldn't squeegee out. Some say they will come out in the sun. I hope so! He made the case for not stretching to much and not over heating the film. Thanks Mr. O. Appreciate the absence of music.
Thanks for sharing the video. Great skills. I'm getting a new car and would like to do PPF. It looks like a really interesting job, difficult, probably some frustration for a noob... (If I make mistakes the car won't explode, catch fire or peel the paint to bare metal...so the only risks are to the PPF and my ego...) A trick I learned years ago and which has (almost) never failed me: The best way to learn is to watch someone who knows how to do it. There will always be something that the experienced person does that they aren't aware of. I call it 'learning the moves.' You pick it up watching the skilled person (as in this video) but you aren't aware of what it is. I can tell from how this installer cuts along the edge that he's one of those people who are really precise. I've made a lot of things, I can be precise but I am not precise. The only way I could get a consistent cut along the edges of the hood for the under wrap is to use my thumb against the hood as a guide. With me: no guide - no consistency.
Are there any "imperfections" right after application? Things that fade after x amount of hours or days? Or should the film look near perfect right away?
Great job Norb. Can't wait to get the doors wrapped on my RWB. And we will need some touch ups after all the abuse i have given it. So what your trying to say is if I was hit with a licence plate and it damaged my PPF, no warranty? ehhehehehehehehehe
