Default Full PPF Wrap

Looking to get full wrap, I have quotes, with Expel Ultimate Fusion, Kavaca, and Stek. This would be our first full wrap and not sure if we should stay away from any of them.

I have a full Xpel wrap on my ZR1 and it was a very good investment. I nicked the side of the front spoiler on the curb once and the Xpel took the full brunt. Replaced that piece and it is perfect.

When it comes to PPF, it's always best practice to 'Buy the Installer', not the particular product they use. The key to PPF happiness is in the installers hands and they should be providing support before, during and, perhaps most importantly, *after* the job. The differences between major brands of PPF are pretty much insubstantial compared to installation quality.

A little bit more info about PPF and what to look for:

I have fully-wrapped XPEL on my ‘18 Z06 and 2022 Volvo XC90. Have been mostly happy but do not believe hype about “self-healing” and it will show degrading if bugs or bird poop is not removed in a timely manner—say when you’re on a multi-day road trip. Biggest value is in protecting your paint if you plan on keeping vehicle for a long time. As mentioned before, products are pretty much the same. Proper installation is most critical.
