Default Good XPEL installer in Plano, Tx?

My brother in Texas has a 997 Targa, and is looking to put a clear bra on. Anyone know of an excellent installer in the area?

Porsche Plano see Matt in service or Colin in sales they have a good guy or call Brian at Detailwerkz. I've used both but more extensively with Colin and always been super happy.

That's the installer's first name. Sorry! Don't know his last name but they all know him as he's the only one they use.

Houston is good, Norm is an artist. There's a reason there's a several week long waiting list for Norm. I've used both and been happy with both, but Norms attention to detail is a step ahead of Houstons.

I used Norm. He's not that much more expensive actually.

What products are you guys using to clean the Xpel product after track days? Their cleaner?

i don't do anything special - clean it like I clean my paint. On my TT I used Zaino, so I had sealed it prior to track. Just a good wash afterward. Haven't tracked my GT3 yet (April!!) but i am trying the AMMO line right now. I am nervous about switching, to be honest - Zaino has served me very well. I really like Larry's videos and he seems to really know what he is doing, so giving it a try. So I will protect the Xpel film with AMMO Skin, and let it fly.

A spray wax just ahead of tracking will help to keep the rubber from sticking. Otherwise, I like mothers racing rubber remover. It really makes the job easy and it hasn't aged (yellowed) my clear bra.
