@Rooster I've had full XPEL PPF for a couple of months and since installation, I've only used Optimum No Rinse Wash and Shine with an Ultra Black Sponge. So far I've had great results but I'll admit that it's not a huge timesaver from a traditional wash (just less messy).
If you have a...
@BroncoZ13 Apologies if it's already been asked, but have you noticed any difference in on-road or off-road ride between the SAS shocks and the 6100s? Also, I assume the 1" and 1.5" lift is above and beyond the factory SAS lift, correct? Thanks in advance.
@broncoGIRL21 I've never put it on the bumper since mine is steel, but when diluted for external plastics (1:3) it's not shiny or wet looking.
On the other hand, if you didn't dilute it at all or went with a 1:1 dilution like what is recommended for tires, it would probably shine a little...
Another upvote for XPEL Ultimate 10. I went with the gloss but was told by the installer that XPEL Stealth would be the same price. If you're getting a higher estimate for Stealth, you may want to shop around.
After having my Bronco for awhile w/ full PPF and ceramic coating, I've settled on the following:
When dirty:
Two bucket method w/ dirt traps
Adam's Pressure Washer 2.0
Adam's Premium Foam Cannon
CARPRO Reset Car Wash Shampoo
"The Gauntlet" drying towels from The Rag Company (after using a...
@TXAG08Bronco73 My understanding was that the PPF was applied first (after a paint correction), followed by the ceramic coating.
PPF was applied to all painted surfaces while the ceramic coating was applied to all exterior paint, plastics, glass, and interior plastics as well.
For comparison purposes, I paid $4k for full XPEL Ultimate Plus 10 on my 4dr Shadow Black Badlands and another $500 for the XPEL Fusion ceramic coating.
Worth every penny! Ever since having it applied, I've only had to wash it once with anything other than a rinse-less wash product since...
@mikec426 Yes, it's supposed to be fully waterproof. I haven't had to use it yet though, so I can't confirm the same. With Hurricane Ian coming through this weekend, maybe I should pull it out of the garage and see what happens. :unsure:
Did it a few days ago, but my @Broncover came in and I had to give it a test run. I didn't go through the motions of strapping it down to the frame, but the Broncover is NICE! Fits perfectly and the material seems like it should hold up pretty well.
@IL John - I can't provide any comparison to Toyos but I replaced my stock GYs with 35x11.50 Trail Grapplers and have about 1K miles on them so far. Noise isn't bad at all, but I'm sure they'll get louder as they wear. With the top and doors off at 55 mph it's a very soft hum, but not loud or...
It's not cheap, but I bought the same one from 4x4TruckLEDs.com and have been very happy with it. In my opinion, it's a much better option than the OEM location and I haven't yet experienced any rubbing or anything while off-road.
Not a Raptor but I just did a full Xpel PPF wrap on my Shadow Black Badlands and I'm very happy with it. I've only washed it once since getting it back but it's allowed me to relax and not worry about paint swirls all the damn time. For reference, I paid $4k for the PPF and another $500 for...
