4/27/2023 0 Comments Turtle odyssey 3 fullThank you! If I do the partial PPF and go auto I'm still exposing myself to swirls and stuff. I think you both give excellent, equivalent advice. Do full sheet wraps cost even more than if they just put on every piece from the template? Do you guys negotiate this stuff? Ugh. So far they're giving me price according to template, piece by piece, and it was just going cha-ching cha-ching in my head (not that I was expecting this to be inexpensive or anything). I'm gonna call my PPF place tomorrow and see what a full PPF would cost. To do full PPF plus Ceramic and I may as well just hire a garage boy to clean it twice a week. Wait, I forgot - endlessly nag my husband to do it. The ceramic makes it way easier to clean (even infrequently), but then to maintain what I desire I better commit to doing it myself, pay someone, or go home. And we live in the suburban upper midwest, with horrible roads, salt and filth on the streets all the time, and I'm always stuck behind some dirt hauler spraying pebbles on me from behind. Help me find a middle ground!Ĭlick to expand.I think you both give excellent, equivalent advice. TLDR: I'm a cheap slob but want a sparkling car at all times. Should I really go with the exorbitant full PPF & Ceramic expense? Find a good detailer and just go regularly? Suck it up and go to the brushless car wash (no touchless around here)? We have a real pressure washer, but ugh, so big and loud. Something that is not super labor intensive but doable if I can make it fun. I was looking at those low PSI pressure washers that shoot out foam. Yes, my dad would be out there with the soap and turtle wax in the driveway nearly every weekend when I was a kid, and I'd like to do the buff off and see it shine, but that's where it ended. But now I'm thinking, what about what isn't covered? Maybe I should see what a full custom wrap will cost.Ĭonsidering I'm so lazy with just pulling out a dustbuster and seat wipe, I gotta be realistic that I shouldn't aim for the stars on what my husband and I will promise to do in this area. So far I've scheduled XPel PPF for the front, doors and headlights ($4k or something, I didn't even write it down). Our Tesla X and jet owning/piloting friends own the local popular car wash chain so we have a membership there. But, I don't want to F up this car!! Only detailing I ever got was the Odyssey like 10 years ago and I was underwhelmed and never bothered again, even though I meant to. Raised 3 kids (plus carpools) in an Odyssey and then a Pilot and. I always start out all careful with my cars, buying nice cleaning products, and then let it all go to pot. Waited my whole life for a luxury vehicle, and pulled the trigger on a very equipped 4S due to arrive somewhere between next week and October. So I thought I'd consolidate my concerns into one post. And I've read every relevant thread multiple times over.
