Moe, I am super impressed by you and your team's work on this. And there is a lot of good information here.
Some questions to get up to date on PPF:
-What's the lifespan of a job like this, with latest product from 3M?
-So you cover headlights with extreme care but without worry? I am interested, as my GT4's headlights got pretty chewed up after 14,700 miles. Porsche warrantied them due to weird tiny cracks (more on one side than the other), but I don't think it wanted to. My sense is that the plastic headlight lenses can use protection that might soften the blow of rocks.
-Can you PM me with pricing for a full car wrap such as this, with the coating? I've been anti-PPF to now, but am reconsidering my position (again).
Thanks! (And thanks for sharing these pics and details with RL!)
You ALWAYS credit your team. Classy guy. You're the kind of person that people want to work for.
I learned years ago, without the support of my guys, my business wouldn’t be where it is today. It’s also the support of the Porsche community and our amazing clients that give us the opportunities of doing what we love.
never in my wildest dreams did I think GP would be where it is today, and hopefully, if we all do our part, it’ll be here for my kids to care for your kids...turned 40 last month, and now seeing a legacy coming together is such an amazing vision into the future.
thank you all for allowing me to share my passion here on RL, and play every day at the asylum 🙏🙏

Pete, if you want to see our local 3M guru's handy work (Mariano), let me know. I can share my experiences with you and let you see his work first hand. He and Moe appear to be cut from the same cloth, going to the Nth degree to avoid seams and dirty edges, etc. The installer makes ALL the difference. I'd rather have no film than many (if not most) of the one-day sticker jobs I've seen out there. P.S., I think "somebody" is in the market for a new car.

Is this the Tom I think it is? If so, looks like you've made a bit of an upgrade yourself...
Moe- Are you out there? I need your advice. I just purchased a lightly used 911 (2014 with 1.6k miles - I'm still in break in mode lol). Prior to delivery the car was newly wrapped in XPel PPF. The car was transported from Cleveland, Ohio to Boulder CO. When I took delivery the PPF looked good. Within a few days it started bubbling in a few areas. See attached pics. I wonder if it was the change in climate from humid to dry? In any event, I wonder if this is something I need to get taken care of right away (i.e. is this potentially damaging paint) or is it something I can wait a few months to address. Ultimately, I will get the car paint corrected, re-wrapped and CQuartz treatment or whatever is recommended by a reputable installer/detailer at some point. Your advice is appreciated.
Mike, they appear to look like air pocket under the film. Find a local reputable and Porsche-experienced detail/ppf shop and they should be able to take care of it in a few seconds. Not a huge deal if it’s air pockets.

Thanks Moe. Much appreciated. I do want to remove at some point and do the full paint correction, re-wrap without the lines and cquartz. As Nilaz said your work looks fantastic and I wish you had a shop local to me in Denver. Thanks again. -Mike
