Default Great Z shotz that really shows off XPel

Got a new wide angle lens and was playing...resulted in a few great shots. The first is an amazing representation of just how well XPel Ultimate looks, even after two years and roughly 23000 miles on it.

Beautiful! Xpel is awesome, my Z is completely wrapped and I often have people ask if my car is a garage queen. Not so, over 21,000 miles.

Great pictures! Don't want to hijack the post but what kind of garage tiles are those and do you like them?

Amazing shot... Haven't had that opportunity yet because of weather but truly enjoyed this shot inside the car.

Not cool man...not cool

I won't have my XPel and ceramic coat back for a few more days...I have 153 miles on the car, I'm freaking out

I probably sounded like a whiny bitch to 1RawTA, sent probably 100 texts yesterday freaking out

What's it cost to do the whole car in Expel?

XPel with cQuartz Finest was probably one of the best mod decisions I have made yet. This car has 26k miles on it through some of the crappiest weather and roads one could find... and it still looks like that!

In Canada so costs vary. The MOST IMPORTANT thing is to use a qualified installer IMO, or one with such a reputation that anything less than perfection won't be settled for in the install. I have seen some HORRID installations, and some where you couldn't tell that there was even XPel or another PPF on the car. You know your installer did a good job if you have to point out to people that a paint protection has been applied.
