Once the film has been warmed up to temperature Koosha could easily pull the old film off.Koosha also used the steam gun to clean out all the gaps in body panels where dust and dirt could be hiding.The steam gun was used to clean out the crack between the fenders and the bumpers.Koosha rinses the surface to make sure there is no dirt, dust or debris. Dust and dirt can make bubbles in the film.Excess water is squeegeed off the paint.The XPEL film comes on a big roll that is laser cut into vehicle-specific pieces. Though the shapes are specific Koosha modifies them in certain areas based on his experience so he can tuck and hide the film even better.
this seems excessively long for an article, especially after the first few pages it felt very repetitive. The beauty shots on the last page show the amazing quality of his work and it is perfection, I just feel that the article could have been half the pages and still given us a good idea of how the process goes.
it varies by car but to cover ALL the painted surfaces and aero on a C7 like we did you’re probably going to spend $6,000. just a a front end kit covering the bumper, hood, mirrors, front fenders and rocker panels is around $3,000. Yes, it may seem like an excessively long article but the process took 4 ENTIRE days to complete.. The difference is in the details. I never appreciated how much work goes into one of these wraps till I had to sit there and watch Koosha do it. We’ve wrapped a few of our project cars and none of them have been done this well.

I just scrolled down to see _15 pages_ of car detailing… on motoiq?
This stuff is a pretty significant breakthrough in paint protection.
Do I even want to know how much this costs? A typical wrap is ~2-3k…..am I in the ballpark?
it’s 3-5k
