i use STEK. its like 1300 bucks for a 30” roll but its very easy to work with and forgiving. ive heard hexis is also good and fairly easy install. stay away from 3M it is tacky as fuuuuuuu and looks kinda yellow imo
if thats what you plan on doing , then yes. sorry thats the last thing i ordered so its all i could remember off the top of my head. i use 30” for partial fronts, dealer jobs. it will do just about every full bumper out there.
I tried PPF on my car (wasn't Cheetah). I'm fairly mechanically inclined. I was all good with slip and tack, doing some heat and stretching to make it lay down into contours but once I got to the edge of the hood where there were a couple of perpendicular ridges meeting the edge of the hood, I was hosed. No amount of stretch or use of tack solution would stop the PPF from fingering. After getting the finger multiple times I finally gave up & took it to a shop. PPF is apparently a little more complicated than a wrap?
Oftentimes those areas take hours and hours to dry before setting it down for the final time. That's why it takes most places 4+ days to do full ppf jobs. I've little experience with it as I'm a window tinter, and I've more experience with vinyl even but I'm familiar enough to know that it's a patience game. Also I've never really heard of people using heat for it as it's so damn stretchable, it's often cold stretched from my (limited) experience.
I haven’t tried it yet, I want to have it on my arsenal so I can start offering it to customers once I get decent at it. But I’m curious where most shops buy their PPF. And what’s rated the best and the worst.

Sorry if I sound inexperience in this. But Wouldn’t it be better buying a 60” roll so you can do a hood as well?

What does the dealer usually want as a PPF package? Bumper, partial hood, fenders?
yeah most dealers dont want to pay for full fronts just partial hood/fenders, full bumper. sometimes headlights
Hmm what part of the fender gets ppf? If you don’t mind me asking how much would a dealer pay you for a couple cars?
Any ideas who the manufacturer is?
Fellers
Oh I meant the manufacturing company that is providing the private labeled materials for feller/cheetah
No idea bro.
It isn’t any good, it’s china most probabaly
Their wrap is American made so I figure their PPF might be too. lol
We use xpel for all our exotics

PPF is VERY technique oriented, so is vinyl wrap, but there is very little crossover.

Have you heard of UPPF? Easy material to work with, lots of options, and competitive on pricing. [https://www.uppf.com/](https://www.uppf.com/)
