We live in Atlanta Ga, and just took delivery of our new 2015 Model S. I would like to do something to protect the beautiful paint job. Does anyone have a recommendation on what the best product is to protect the cars finish. Also who is the best company in Atlanta Ga to do the installation. Finally by doing this do I effect the warranity on the vehicle. Thanks
I'm interested in this too. I couldn't find any prices on-line. So what are we looking at for a full install? How about just the front facing surfaces?
I went with OptiCoat Pro+ and I love it. The water beads right up and having had it done right after delivery, I only had some minor paint correction that was needed. If you are in the Raleigh/Durham, NC area, I know a guy that does a killer job for a reasonable rate.
That's what I did. I've been quite happy with the results.After reading most of the threads on this topic, I intend to do paint correction, full Xpel Ultimate wrap, and OptiCoat Pro. Many people choose front only for the wrap, however, I also want protection against parking lot threats. Cost is very regionally dependent.
Wash weekly, wax periodically. Otherwise enjoy it. Those plastic covers remind me of this...View attachment 77761
I'm fairly old school too, but back when I used to have time to detail my cars I was using Zaino Brothers polish. This was years ago, and Zaino is still around, and I still have a bottle of their Clear Seal which is super easy to work with and lasts a few months. They're probably a bit behind other polymer-based options now but I don't have time to agonize over every little nick or scratch in my cars any more. I'll keep some sort of wax or polish on it, and as long as it looks great from 10 feet away I'm happy.

Does he also do Xpel? I may have to make the drive from Charlotte in a couple months when I get my S.
Smart, swengl. It was snowing when I picked up. Now I've waited too long already and have a few battle scars from 1800 miles of commuting thus far. Opting for Modesta. If I could Xpel the inside to protect from life with young kids, I would.
It all comes down to your expectations, how long you'll keep the car, and your budget.
To do a proper full vehicle wrap, expect to pay $8-13K depending on degree of coverage, scope of work, and skill of installer. IMHO, currently, XPEL Ultimate and Suntek Topcoated are the leading films on the market, and they each have their pros and cons. Foxus more on finding the right installer, then the rest will fall into place.
Nano coatings have become the cutting-edge way to protect your car. Paint, wheels, glass, and even interior surfaces can be coated for durability and beauty.
A good local guy around you is Detailed Design Auto Spa. Jean-Claude is a sponsor here and you should reach out to him.

A typical full front should be around $1800-3500 depending on level of coverage, material, and installer.
Full vehicle installation should range between $8-13K. This only makes sense if you plan on keeping vehicle for long term and have paid cash for it...not lease.
We do our fair share of full PPF vehicle wraps and almost all the clients habe opted for it because they plan on keeping it for a few years, don't want to deal with imperfections in the soft paint such as swirls from washing, and also a peace of mind knowing if shopping cart at Costco hit their door, they'll most likely avoid the hassle and headache of a repaint.
