I’d wait to put the spoiler on until the trunk lid has been wrapped in PPF. Same goes for the rear badge. This would allow the PPF protect the chip. I pulled all emblems on my GT63 and TRX before doing full wraps in XPEL stealth film.
Also using compressed air under the PPF and/or pulling less than 90 deg helps from allowing the adhesive to remain. Eulex is the bomb to remove the adhesive. EAG, you PAID for that car! I also soaked strips of paper towels in goo gone and used a plastic scraper to remove the spoiler tape.
Took off my F80 M3 lip spoiler a few weeks ago and spent 2 hours taking off the glue/leftover tape with Goo gone. Did it suck? yes but no way I could use that wheel tool.
@@TonmoyGhosh Boil hot water in a kettle. Place a microfiber towel on the PPF. Pour the now not boiling water on the PPF and towel. The towel will retain heat. The hot water transfers more heat than the steam will based on the volume of water. The more hot water, the better... It's like using a water hose worth of water on full blast vs using a kids squirt gun. Using steam uses less water which allows for faster cooling which is counter to your goal. Sure our works, but it's inefficient and you're more likely to leave adhesive behind, making it worse for you. It's interesting Matt hasn't commented on or liked this post 😂 It's his car though. I don't care what he does to it or how
Gotta love Matt’s attitude. Y’all stfu and buy my merch and products which pays for all this shit and imma do whatever I want to it and y’all better watch.
Love the attentiveness to details on your vehicles is amazing but I especially like the e92 m3 stuff because I own one and most of the mods you do are tasteful and keeps the spirit of that car alive. Thanks for that
One day can you guys put on a truck or a work car/ wife's daily two types of PPF ie 3M and Xpel and have them cut down the center so it's 50/50 on a front bumper and or partial/ full hood? For some long term testing. We could see if they yellow or which one holds up better.
You should just use hot water. I used to use a steamer until Larry recommended using hot water it makes it 10X easier to do it. The other hidden attribute of using this method is there is never really adhesive left.
I’ve heard you mention sound in motion a few times, good shop they use to help us out with Mercedes airbag sensor in seats, at a shop I used to work at.
Say goodbye to skin on knuckles nightmare job especially if got massive bonnet. For adhesive removal try cotton pads soaked in Tardis if have that over there.
Manufacturer's should offer a no badge option, when ordering a new car. I'd pay to not have any stupid stinking badges. Because "we don't need no stinking badges!" (taken loosely from the movie The Sierra Madre with Humpfrey Bogart)
the m3 is probaly the most understated "badged" car out there....literally only the little m3 badge on the boot and two tiny m3 bades in the side markers....you can just do what matt did here ...its really not a shouty car at all
The car looks freakin' amazing without a rear spoiler at all, just the way the designers drew it. Without the spoiler and M3 badge, the car looks to be in stealth mode.
Why does anyone do half a hood of ppf? It always looks terrible, you always see the line, and dirt always catches on the line. If u have money for a bmw u have money for a full ppf hood I mean common
Last summer I removed a an entire front clip's worth of PPF off my 15 STI LE that was installed when the car was new back in 2014. Of course, I was working with a teapot sized Bissel steam cleaner so it took two long nights after work and totally killed my finger tips, but this video was very helpful: ua-cam.com/video/BYH5emgD3ec/v-deo.html. Try pulling back away from the direction you want the film to lift. By keeping the area ahead heated as you go, the film just keeps pulling and pulling. It's a much more satisfying, safe, and struggle free experience than just trying to rip it off like a cave man.
I was thinking same. O ly advantage is doing it all yourself vs sending off to some strangers shop for x amount of time with it being around people who won't care for your possession like you will.
Do you actually like the milwaukee heat gun? I bought one and was thoroughly unimpressed and returned it.... maybe mine was broken? I bought a Master Appliance heat gun instead (corded).... much better.
So I was removing ppf off of my 2012 sti to get a paint correction and ceramic coat. The paint underneath has tiny scratches on the clear coat and I guess the paint was not properly detailed before getting the ppf. So I removed it with a heat gun because that’s all I had and idk if it’s because the ppf was 8+ years old but it left SO MUCH adhesive residue behind. Took around 8 hours with kockchemie eulex to get a decent amount of it off. Is it bad to leave the adhesive on the car for a day or two then continue to remove it? Or the longer I wait the worse it is?
@@ObsessedGarage it just doesn’t make sense to resist driving it. I love my e92 M as well. That’s why I drive it. Staring at it in my garage is good, but not as good as driving it
The difference between Lemans Blue and Interlagos Blue is so minimal, only a BMW expert can tell apart when the cars aren’t next to each other. I definitely can’t tell not even if the cars are parked side by side.
@@iceweaseltv I’ll have to see them next to each other to get the details of both paints. BMW blue paints are the most beautiful blue out there, regardless of the shade. From Yas Marina and Laguna Seca to San Marino, LeMans and Interlagos Blue.

Don't forget to touch up the chip, even though it will covered. Water will still get to it. Bare metal=rust!
I can’t get over that color, man that thing is gorgeous!!
one of their best colors, EVER

Matt why not protect the surrounding paint with painters tape before pulling the badges and spoiler?
The fronts ppf’d so not much need for tape.
Or at least use a towel to pry against
Beautiful Spec and proper removal love how you take care of your cars really shines some light on us noobies.

Makes it incredibly easy though lol
Need to see the Le Mans blue and Interlagos blue next to each other
Dang, that blue is awesome !
Good call not using the eraser wheel.👍🏼
The hot water+towel method is much more effective at removing PPF than steam
How does this work?

This man doesn't keep cars long enough to really test them haha
@@vongdong10 True, maybe if put PPF on a wash bucket we could see the yellowing over time.
I used a radar dectector suction cup window mount to remove the emblems on my M3....they popped right off
They normally do come right off. These were on there super tightly.
Yep I watched the video with one eye closed until both were off...very glad the paint is still perfect! Nice work
Love the “Cheapen out” comment on Recaro Sporters at the end LOL
This gem is a keeper.

That steam really makes that job easier! You don’t get any of that PPF chatter!!
Enjoyed that, although tense at times 😂. Looking forward to the next stages.
Sounds crazy but hot towels iv found removes similar materials from paint

Like you said its a Time Capsule; Take the PPF of Paint correct, and put it a bubble. Your a nice guy Matt but your kinda Ham Fisted! Good luck!
Appreciate how honest you are as a UA-camr. You answer question the audiences is looking for. Keep it up!

Matt you should have taped around the badges and even put some tape under them as you were able to lift them up, just saying.
I’m surprised that tacky EAG plate frame has lasted this long. What gives, Matt?
Can't believe you even thought about using an air tool on the paint.
The car looks freakin' amazing without a rear spoiler at all, just the way the designers drew it. Without the spoiler and M3 badge, the car looks to be in stealth mode.
I'd like to see a video and comparison of the OEM M Performance swap to Sportster CS
Brave removing that spoiler. How did you remove it without damaging the paint
He literally showed how he did it
The promo has no audio? I guess it was unintended, but if it was. It deffo needs audio.
Woot! Can’t wait for more E92 content.
Ok , I know he is sick ,
But I’m watching him & enjoying it , what does that make me ?

18:18 "I wasn't scared just real nervous..." - FatLip of Pharcyde 🤣
Should park them next to each other because I don’t see the difference.
Hot water on a towel over a large area works fast.
Hey I will take that spoiler. Perfect for my vert.
would a towel and pouring boiling water work?

You could’ve used a kettle like Larry Kosilla does.
@@Nick210 should have though of that, though hopefully I'll never have to remove ppf again unless I'm getting paid😅
Ballsey!!! I couldn't do it. I'd have to pay you to do it. Way to stressful even to watch.
The silent intro for the giveaway is a bit weird, it makes it seem like there is an editing mistake.
All that work install/remove, cheaper to paint the hood and bumper.
I was thinking same. O ly advantage is doing it all yourself vs sending off to some strangers shop for x amount of time with it being around people who won't care for your possession like you will.
There are lots of plastic tools for the badge disassembly 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
Bet Mike was a little sick after chipping that paint.
you just shaved 50k of off the value of that museum bmw Matty hahahahaha
I’ve got a German 314i saloon I’d love to purchase your M3 badge to put on. Price?
$2500
Whoa! I was watching the whole video and heard that there's a giveaway. This is my dream car. How do I enter haha.
Painful to watch the badges ripped off, lol
Why didn't you just push in the pins from the inside of the hood to remove the emblem ? Seam that would be easy enough .
Do you actually like the milwaukee heat gun? I bought one and was thoroughly unimpressed and returned it.... maybe mine was broken? I bought a Master Appliance heat gun instead (corded).... much better.
I love it, but it’s not great for jobs that need long run times.
Matt when you gonna start chasing steamers
I’m so angry and feel so violated you pulled the badges off and yes I’m totally joking ! 😜
Are you going to stick with your tried and true exhaust system or maybe go custom this time?
ARH full exhaust
Think the line in the hood is from coated vs now non coated? Darker in the areas that are coated.
Yep
It’s a thumbnail but it’s metal, i.e. a screw driver 🤣🤣🤣
FIRST! What a great find Matt! Excited for more content on this car.

That's why I don't want that ppf crap. Might just get a regular old fashioned vinyl bra
Love your videos, you mentioned a M5 shifter. Would that also fit on the 1M? Thank you
Do you know the back story on the car? Was the original owner a collector that was just looking at the car as an investment?
I'm not 100% sure, but I think he just loved the car.
@@ObsessedGarage it just doesn’t make sense to resist driving it. I love my e92 M as well. That’s why I drive it. Staring at it in my garage is good, but not as good as driving it
@@TonmoyGhosh not driving a collector car is very much not uncommon. Actually driving a collector car is more uncommon.
Any plans to check out the new Gyeon Mohs?
I’m interested in Gyeon when they punt the idea of having 10 coatings. I want 1 good one.
@@ObsessedGarage isn’t variety the spice of life, why an M3 when you have a GT3 RS?
Dude, send me that M3 badge so I can put it on my 328 :P
What was wrong with the ppf that was on it?
What brand steamer and model are you using matt?
How long did the M3 badge stay on the cabinets after the video ended?
Old ppf removal on a new car?
This is one reason why I have never PPF'ed my GT4. I hate the thought of pulling the car apart to do it.
Also, your video seems to be (private)
Why’d you choose xpel?
+1 for STEK film. It just looks so good.
why eraser wheel or tarx instead of dry ice blasting on the adhesive?
I don't have any ice, and the machine I have isn't powerful enough to do that.
Badge chips paint at 6:04 😮😮😮
Shouldve just used a credit card for the hood emblem
Shit imagine 8 year old car doesn't have those sand sized rock chips. You can't do anything to fix those other than respray.
Whats wrong with respray
is there really no way to fix rock chips ?...there has to be a decent way to repair stone chips on the hood
