as a PPF/Colorwrap installer, I will say these will NEVER come out perfect. I've seen a lot of these jobs including very expensive jobs on very expensive cars and I have not seen one job that came out perfect.
same goes with re-paint jobs.. but at least PPF/wraps are removable.

Hi! This is Murat and i am the shop manager here at 5 Point auto spa. I udnerstand we are taking care of the problem soon by replacing the bra. Many have already mentioned that, generally that’s a very passable install. But we care about you the most. If it makes you happy, we will re do it Just don’t forget, while repairing such a small imperfection, you are taking a risk by removing a clear bra. Even though we do take all precautions, sometimes clear coat comes off with the bra. And you might end up with a painted panel therefore. It doesn’t happen often, but happens. 858-925-4380 You can always call or text me if you have any more issues or concerns. |

We already know that 5 point is great. This post is simply to educate all of us to make the right decision and learn as we go. We are in no way undermining 5 point autospa. It is normal to see such posts in the forum where we are trying to ask each other for knowledge share and experience.

To the OP -- you are being extremely, highly, unrealistically, neurotically overly picky.
I had one of the best installers in my area install the PPF on my M2, it's easily the best PPF install I've had (and I've had four others done at various installers), and my clear bra certainly has more than one imperfection. After 5,000 miles you'll have so many little nicks and scratches in your PPF that you won't care about that tiny bubble. Don't risk it. Leave well enough alone. |

Hey everyone, it's great that you all are OCD out there, but I will tell you from experience as an installer, that no car is perfect from the factory.
Here are somethings to consider - if a manufacturers can't produce a good pallet to work on how can a film installer improve on a paint job that is 90-99% perfect, there will be issues. For example the Tesla's. https://jalopnik.com/here-s-a-close-...ali-1831320698 Here are the imperfections on the paint prior to installation. You can only imagine if you look closely how many imperfections you can see under film which will magnify the imperfections: - Bubbles can be adjusted so don't worry about it. - Most reputable shops will fix any issues that are fair and warranted. - Film installation is not easy it takes a ton of time to master the craft - Remember film is not there to win a beauty contest it's there to protect from rock chips, if your installer is a good one the work will look better - You get what you pay for (don't always look for the best price) In short if it's only 1 or 2 spots per panel it's acceptable, leave it alone as you do risk the next installation to have imperfections only to be somewhere else. Hope that helps I'm always available for an email or a chat... phil@detailersdomain.com 201-768-1818 |
