Default PPF Recommendation - Charlotte

For anyone looking for a PPF shop in the Charlotte, NC area I would highly recommend Xcel Wraps. Going by on-line reviews and several conversations with the owner I took a leap of faith and had my car towed from the dealer I bought it from to the shop the week before my wife and I flew to Charlotte to pick it up. With no PPF on the car and wanting to make a vacation out of driving it home (1500 miles) I couldn't risk damaging the perfect paint. Had the entire front end, A-pillars, mirrors and door sills done. We took an Uber from the airport to the shop and Johnny greeted us with a big smile and proudly showed off his work. To say I was an am thrilled is an understatement. He is a trained installer of Stek wrap and if you are considering wraps, no matter where you live, I encourage you to do some research on this product. As my wife and I drove away Johnny and the entire crew waived us off with smiles all around. Here is the link to his site - https://www.xcelwrapscharlotte.com and email is xcelwraps@gmail.com

Thanks! While the weather wasn't the greatest we had a fantastic time. 1500 miles, 9 days of mostly twisty roads plus 3 laps at Watkins Glen. If I can get my profile pick to update you'll see one of the best pics from the trip home.

I love the Glen, one of my top 5 tracks of all time. Very cool.

Yes and it cost all of $40. bucks. Of course you then spend well over $100 on their branded merchandise. Worth it at twice the total price.
