Paint Protection Film and Ceramic Coating Recommendations?

Anybody know or can recommend a good quality place that does PPF and Ceramic coating for a not so crazy price?

I am in NY but willing to travel up to 4 or 5 hours

I been quoted for a full Xpel wrap and ceramic coating $6,000 and $7,000 from 2 different places here in NYC.

It seems a little high to me and would like to see if any other places have better prices.

Thanks everyone and I will greatly appreciate any input anybody can provide.

You're willing to drive 5 hrs for PPF and ceramic? You know you'll have to leave the car for at least 24 hours just to let the ceramic cure. For a full car PPF, that will take a full day just in itself. Seems extreme to go out that far.

I totally understand Vtengr , I can stay in a hotel and what not. I mean obviously it has to make financial sense. If for example, a place in boston does it for lets say 4,000 , I mean traveling 4 hrs up there and booking a hotel for one or 2 days should not equal $2,000 more dollars.

But I do get your point

Yeah... Get that.

In ATL full front xpel will run between 1500 and 2000. So I would imagine the full car to be almost twice that. Add another 1000 for ceramic coating and adjusting for NYC cost of living, your 6000 quote doesn't seem too far off the mark.

Good luck with your search. I would go to Xpels website and search for authorized installers. Then Google and Yelp are your best friends.

I got mine done right outside of Boston, full front xpel (bumper, hood, fender, mirrors, headlights) for $2000, and opti-coat pro+ for $1600

Don't have a quote for full xpel ppf for you.

Thanks - I might go that route instead of the full PPF.

Easy - Detailing Dynamics in Mineola. not associated but a long time customer. they're work is impeccable. My new X5 is going in in 2 weeks. Check out their website or stop and pay them a visit. you will see cars that you can't believe that come from all over.

I've seen everything from F40's, Koenigsegg's, Mclaren's, Buggati's, vintage and rare super cars galore.

I have had full EXPEL PPF done on my X% and also go the XPEL ceramic coating. My guy is in Danbury and I can see what he can do for you. Danbury is not that far from you in NY.
Contact me direct and I can see what he can do. I got my full car done for well under 6.

Just remember that when you do PPF there could always areas where you have to bring the car back to the shop to do minor repairs on the corners, tight edges, etc.

Therefore, for convenience, I will still look around locally and find a shop with competitive pricing.
