recommendation for ppf and ceramic in SoCal

Sandy Eggo · 11-28-2022, 11:13 PM

Any other recommendations in the San Diego area? I'm trying to get a few quotes now (expecting to take delivery end of the month). Thanks!

I can't recommend One-of-One enough (formerly Auto Armour). Talk to Austin, he'll set you up with a walk-through if you need convincing.

Xpel Stealth over BSM. They also did my tint and ceramic over the PPF and wheels/calipers.

They're booked for weeks in advance. Definitely call ahead of delivery.

I had the front end(not including open grille area) front hood and front quarter panels, side mirrors, side bottom rocker sills, rear bumper where trunk opens done for $2750. Valleyclearbra does great work and is reasonable. It would have cost $2200, however there was no pattern available yet for my spec of base M3 with M Performance front splitter. Dan had to do a little custom work. I called several shops in my area. One even asked if they were the first I had called and I said no the 5th shop. Owner asked why I was calling so many shops and I told him because Dan said Xpel doesn't have a pattern yet for my car's specs. He verified with Xpel customer service and said Dan is a great guy and meticulous at his profession. Go with him. His competitor told me this!!! I read so many times, go with the installer, not the PPF as the quality is really similar on PPF.

I recommend Position Advance in Irivne.

It's probably too far for you, but I just got my car PPF for 5K with Xpel Stealth at Essence Motorsports in Laguna Hills https://www.essencemotorsports.com/

I went with Envious Detailing

Grigio Telesto
paint correction, full stek clear bra, ext, int, wheel, ceramic coating.

They have done my previous M2 Comp and Supra.

They know what they are doing and professional. it is worth it.
