Opinion on this quote for PPF, ceramic, tints

This is for Wisconsin. What did you guys pay for something similar?

Not horrible. I'm about 400 cheaper with people I've done 6-7 cars with.

Ok, good to know. I may ask for a 10% discount and see what they say.

I'd say with a 10% discount to do everything, that is fair. They may not budge but you'd be bringing them a lot of business at once.

I have used Adams graphene ceramic for over a year now. Never did paint correction. The corvette has 78,000 and is 13 years old. Takes 20 minutes to do the entire car. No issues with streaks. I have PPF on front end only; at a cost of $800. The Adams Graphene Ceramic cost $80.

I use Adams Graphene Ceramic on my Range Rover as well. No paint correction prior to application. It has 92,000 on the clock and has never been garaged. PPF on front and mirrors. I took this picture this morning at the gym. The car has been driven over 200 miles since I washed it last week. It has not been garaged during that time. I only bring this up as an option to spending $1000's.

There is a $625 charge for "maintaining" the ceramic coating warranty for 5 years... so you are saving $75.

Pricing looks about on par, for what you're getting done. Definitely not bad with the $700 discount. I paid $7,000 for full body, and all black surfaces. Basically, if you can touch it, on the outside of the car, its covered in STek DynoShield, PPF, even my M Carbon breathers, sharkfin, and all black window molding, side skirts, door handles, badges and carbon spoiler removed, to wrap the door and trunk, in one piece, with no seams.

Also, wheels off ceramic coating with Feynlabs, and Feynlabs with self healing, applied to the the entire car. Outside of the windshield done in STek DynoFlex, and coated.

Tint is Formula One Stratos. All windows, plus full windshield. $970. XPEL Prime CS is their "Color Stable" film. It's just dyed cellophane, no heat rejection properties.

I also agree with the guys that are coating their own cars. I am a hobby detailer, and I paint correct, and ceramic coat my own cars, usually. Since I was planning on getting my entire car PPFd, I just let the detailer, install a pro only coating on the car. Adams, GTechniq CSL, or Gyeon MOHS, isn't going to hold up like a pro coating thats baked on with an infrared light.

There are really no "consumer grade" coatings with self healing properties. The ceramic coating on my wheels is also baked on, and it's so thick, and swirl resistant, that it literally feels like the wheels are wrapped in PPF. Like you can take your fingernail and make an impression in the wheel coating.

Its nothing I could get my hands on to install on my own car.

I recommend you understanding maintenance before dropping all this money. Ppf/ceramic has definitely become the cool kid’s thing to do.
