The Paint Protection Film ( PPF ) Thread

[AustyPosty]

I wrapped half of the hood with a precut piece I found online. I think it was like 150 bucks. It was a bit tricky, but I really wanted to protect the leading edge of the hood and the Rubicon hood "hump" as I can imagine those sections of the hood are rock magnets. I was able to get 90% of the air bubbles out, and the rest slowly went away after a few weeks in the sun. Overall, i'd do it again in a heartbeat.

I also added Rockstopperz to all of the door hinges and hood hinges. I think that should come with all JL's and JT's as the hinges are prone to chipping.

I’m also a little OCD about scratches and the cool thing with PPF is that you can just wipe bugs and other debris off without worrying about scratching the paint. I also have a child and the PPF prevents scratches from all the random touches.

same boat, I really like that you can wipe down with a damp rag or even a dry rag if its just dusty without worry of creating any swirling or hairline scratches in the paint. Of course I have a problem with OCD and new car anxiety and am frequently wiping down my gladiator late at night in the garage when no one is looking.

No way in hell i'd attempt a full vehicle wrap. But I figured even if I messed it up it was "only" like 150 bucks. It turned out pretty good, there is still like 5 pesky air bubbles that wont come out, but I can live with it.
