Default who's interested in paint protection film?

i just took on a new job. i over see the sales and installation divsion for a company that specializes in paint protection film, detailing, and car care in general.

im really excited about it and was wondering if some fellow tech members were interested in prtoecting there ride were a 3m autorizhed distributor and professional install center. were located in san francisco but are completely mobile and usually come to the client.

i was thinking of maybe offering a group buy of sorts. "full kits" usually include bumper, partial hood, fenders, rear trunk bumper, door cups, door edges and we have headlight and fog light kits

let me know if there is any interest as i am hoping to get fellow tech member a wholesale price

kits installed $550 kits shipped $395 + shipping

He just put it in the 06 forum and Appearance, i actually saw both before and researched to make sure it wasn't spamming

After researching his threads.. he was a former member.. came back after picking up his civic etc etc

So that rules out spammer....


To the OP....


Just watch with topics of this nature... when you "throw them all over the place" you go in a grey area of spammer especially with your join date/count/ content




I do Understand however that your trying to build up some credit & business at your new place.

thanks X

i should have specified our serving area. right now we servce the greater bay area. can go up to sac and down to gilroy and everywhere in between.

to give you an idea on price retail for a full kit is $850. a full kit also includes headlights. wholesale is $550 installed. im trying to get the price or close to it for tech members

you cant beat $550 installed for a full paint protection kit comes with a 5yr warranty through 3m and a lifetime warranty through my company. againsnt peeling, cracking, yellowing etc...the car film is 8mm thick and the headlight film is 12mm thick. working on getting some pics

we cant install in socal but we can send you a kit

for anyone interested we can ship out full kits for $395 + shipping. a professional installer in your area should charge between $100-200 for install.

i will double check the specs...it has to be a little thick if you want to protect against rocks coming at your hood at freeway speeds

you can wash your car 24hrs after the film is applied. you can wash and wax your car like normal after. it takes up to 30 days to completky cure.

you dont want to use and harsh polishes or abrasives on the film but a good carnuba wax is just fine. a little isopropyl alcohol rubs away most scratches, bird droppings etc...

Honestly, anything more than 1mm thick is too thick...
