@@sakshitvig we actually painted them custom to the Lockett Tech colors! Where are you located I can recommend a shop.
Menard, can you recommend any detailing shop around WA state?
Truthfully, if your a car washing weekend warrior, you’ll never need a ceramic coating. Waxes have been used for decades and decades with no issues. However most ppl tend to neglect their vehicles so that’s where ceramic coatings come in! It’s all personal preference and your care level for you vehicle.
Great video and informative. What i will say is, getting a new car is already expensive nowadays. To then add PPF and ceramic coating on top of that. PPF near me is 7K and 2.5K for ceramic coating. Not sure how many people can afford that as you are taking delivery of a new car.
Agreed, although $7K must be for full car. You should be able to do a nice full front coverage package for around $2.5K and that is the most important area to protect.
My sexy model Y- black on black on top of black 20’s is sitting there now. Your code saved me over $900.00. Black satin ppf fully covered ceramic and tints.
I fully agree that PPF is super important to do right away!
Also would love for them to open a spot out here on the west coast!
Great video!
🍻🍻
Where are you located?!
Yes, proper car wash at Menard’s, please!
I was binge watching your videos over the past couple days and emailed Grant. He responded right away. I called the following day and spoke to Mike, who answered all of my questions. I was very impressed with the friendly, quick communication. The reviews online are fantastic.
Finding a reputable shop to PPF and ceramic coat my new wheels has been a concern of mine and now I feel confident that I found the one. I appreciate the knowledge and honesty. Excited to make the appointment as soon as I pick up my Model Y and the 10% savings just sweetens the deal. The colored PPF is so cool, I had no idea. Also there appears to be a Rezvani Tank in one of the shots? Thanks for yet another informative video.
You won’t be disappointed by what you get done there. The tank was awesome. Was a shot from their last Tacos & Tailpipes car show they hosted. But there are always a ton of exotics when you go there.
My 2013 Mazda CX5 has a ceramic coating innit. I put it through drive through car wash once a week. 10 years and 165,000 miles after, it’s still looks shiny new. I just traded it in with 2023 Tesla Model Y and will put a ceramic coating on it. Well, as soon as I recover from draining my bank acct.
lol.
this is me right now lol getting my ppf installed as we speak then coating the car myself to save money but i still need to spend a decent amount for a detail kit and prep work
Holy smokes! Beautiful! Getting my model 3 at the end of the month….would consider driving down from Montreal Canada to get this done.
Would love to have you! I’ll pay for your hotel for the few days you are here if you’d like to make the trip.
I am looking at behind myself A tesla. So it would be nice to know the proper ways to wash it to keep it safe
Thanks for the feedback. Grant and I are working on a schedule to make this happen!
so much misconception that these detailers want to convey that just isn't very true that gets you to pay for their expensive services. your paint WILL last you throughout your ownership of the car without ceramic coating. Paint doesnt just fall off after 5 years.
Sort of agree. However, PPF + ceramic coating do make your car stands out. If money isn't an issue, then you should definately go for it 200%.
He said it doesn’t last forever, which is true.
I will me making my way up there next month
Love the video! I really need to do this on my Y! Also would love to see a washing video! My biggest issue is cleaning and drying the top glass.
We can definitely hone in on that as well as I know it’s a difficult area!
So happy I stumbled upon this channel, so good!
Thanks!
Please buy Tesla Model X new in red colour 22 tyre,
Love from Pakistan ❤️.
Love your channel! I can't fathom putting PPF on a car tho. 0 trade in value added, I've traded in multiple cars and never had anyone say anything about small chips and dings, it's expected to wear over time. Also if you are ever in an accident and you have to replace body parts, you'll have to pay to get PPF reinstalled as it is not covered under insurance unless you listed (custom parts installed) when insuring the car. I wish people would stop recommending this for Teslas.
It doesn’t have direct value but absolutely helps to maintain the condition of the car, which impacts its value overall. The paint is so easily chipped and damaged…this helps with that. As you mentioned too it’s can absolutely be replaced after an accident too…you just have to let your insurance company know you added PPF after it’s installed. For most cars I don’t think it’s a must do…for Tesla’s it should be required.
If you are in a accident your car is going to lose value. Peoe put ppf on Tesla's because the paint is crap and it chips more than any other car.
@@ramongonzalez5049 that is true as well. I've been told the paint is crap but haven't experienced it first hand or seen it on a recent forum so it's hard to justify spending thousands on a rumor. A professional touch up would be cheaper than PPF once I went to sell it if I thought it was bad enough for concern
im going to ceramic coat in the summer
Lot of videos out on how to wash your car. Chemical Guys are very good I use their products and my car looks great. And I've got thousands of $$ to spend on other things.
Ceramic coating is good if you do it yourself!
Come to Texas, the Gigaplant is opening, and we will have BBQ!
What would be the best brand for PPF and Ceramic Coating?
It’s installer specific! We utilize CarPro C.Quartz for ceramic coatings and for PPF STEK and PremiumShield
Any plans for seattle
Our Y is coming in the next 2 to 6 weeks. Was going to use a local detailer but maybe I'll take it to Menards! I'm in Connecticut. Thanks for the video as always...
We would love to have you!! Let me know if you want to make the trip and we will pay for your hotel!! I’ll set you up right around the corner and give you my personal Tesla Model 3 as a loaner car to use while you are here!
@@ShineOnNetwork Wow that's an awesome offer! I'll keep in touch...
You mentioned picking up at Tesla, do you pick up at Mount Kisco?
@@markrichter7504 we can yes! It’s about 2:30 from our facility. Being that far though we would need to charge for the transport.
@@ShineOnNetwork I spoke with you a few weeks ago! We are actually picking up our MYP from Mt. Kisco too. How much would it cost for you guys to transport it to your facility to have the work done?
Hi!, thank you for the video. So should we get the PPF done first and then ceramic on top of that?
Exactly! PPF is the most important thing so get that done first, then they do the ceramic over top. Or you can do both and have them apply the PPF with the infused ceramic already.
That’s correct!! If you ceramic first the ppf won’t stick to the surface. So ppf first followed up by ceramic
Paint correction then PPF then ceramic coating
If you are doing all 3 then yes! We had our PPF (front) done a while back so our job was a little different as the PPF was already on.
Come to northern California please like Sacramento Lol
Exactly there’s a million Tesla’s out here lol. In the mean time let me know if anyone knows a similar place out here in the bay
Sacramento, CA!!!!
You sound exactly like ZLANER lol good video
This seems like an infomercial for an overpriced detail shop. If it's a Tesla, you "obviously" have to PPF it? You kidding me? I have had two Teslas, one with Blue paint, which had neither Ceramic coating not PPF, and worked just fine for four years. Then bought one with Black paint, on which I have put ceramic. No way is PPF an obvious "must". Also, if a shop is charging $15k for a PPF treatment, it should be summarily avoided.
Tesla paint is horrific. It all depends on if you want to protect your investment and have the means to do so. If not there are definitely cheaper options that will do almost as good of a job.
@@LockettTech 15k ill repaint it
If I’m paying 15k I’ll just trade in my car every rock chip might be cheaper 😂
@@AFlo210 Lmao true
Tesla paint is not horrific. Where did you get that? Man, just quit lying so much, it turns people off.
youre not suppose to lift your tesla like that. hope battery isnt damaged
Lift jacks were used under each corner before it was lifted. There was no added pressure to the battery.
Nice !👍
color PPF !
Pretty cool right!!!
Why ppf when u can get the car repainted for half the cost
Maybe half the cost of the car. 😂
I've seen video's where someone's Tesla got keyed across 2 panels ans it was going to cost $8000 to fix. My full car PPF was on the pricier side at $6500.
That’s why we have insurance. It will cost you $500.
U should have said his address and costs on video
Wyndmoor Pa
How much?
Between $1500-$3000 depending on the package you choose!
SNAKE OIL - CERAMIC COATING
What about ATL ? Can you recommend some one.
Sure can what part of ATL are you living in?
Hello . Brand new to tesla here . Do I really have ppf or ceramic coat a tesla ? I’ve owned multiple luxury vehicles and never did any of these treatments and they seemed to last fine . In your honest recommendation do I need any of these treatments? Also can I use a normal car wash for a tesla ? Thanks v much
If you want to do a car wash, make sure you do a touch less car wash
Hey MEL, I’m not UA-cam creator but I do own a detailing / PPF business. Ceramic coating won’t protect against rock chips but it does provide EXCELLENT paint protection and makes the washing process way easier. PPF on the other hand will help fend off those pesky rocks while driving on the road and ultimately preserves the factory finish of the paint whilst you’re going about your daily driving activities.
Typically PPF has always been more geared towered super cars. HOWEVER, over the past few years I’ve noticed a huge influx of inquiries from tesla owners. PPF On the hood and front bumper are the most popular options for obvious reasons ( to protect that huge grill-less bumper from getting chips from rocks)
Overall, it just boils down to how long you gonna keep your car for? Do you honestly care if a few rocks chip your paint ? Etc. if you plan to keep the car for next 10-20 years then I think PPF is a great option. Otherwise , not worth it. And that’s coming from a business owner who wants people like you buy into this PPF trend
@@butskiiueepp1625 thanks so much for your honest opinion . I am definitely planning on keeping the car for years and years . Are you by any chance in Massachusetts and I could come to your shop for an estimate ? You seem like a pretty honest person . Thanks again
@@mele2259 based out of California bro! And ya honesty always prevails. It’s how I’ve built such a good foundation of clientele over the past 15 years 😁
Tell the cost and I’ll say if worth it….to me
$1500 including detailing which is a must before coating. 8 hr job.
15k to ppf in color?
In that specific color yes! It’s limited to 200 rolls and the materials are expensive
Thought 1500? 😳
Rim protectors??? Hahahahahahahha
I think this ceramic is a joke. And I don’t trust him
You just need to know what you're getting. Most people don't understand what ceramic actually is. Big misconceptions out there that it will protect your car from rocks/debris.
Your pocket is a joke. 😂
