Have anyone done the PPF in AZ? If you have, can you provide the cost, for which area of the car, and where did you get it done? Asking because there is a bunch of places that are doing this now.

Freddie I plan to do the Ceramic coating myself and my friend Treetopflyer(the top in the trade) gave me the steps on how to go about. So when I get the products I will tackle this. You could get more info on Youtube.


I plan to ceramic coat my spider. so I have asked the Pro. TOM better known as TREETOPFLYER to guide me through. once I bought the products which put a dent in my wallet he gave me the steps to follow and after research HOLY SMOKE
2 hours wash and wipe
1 hour clay bar and wipe I got mine Simoniz kit, 2 clay bars, wipe and spray) but you could get Monthers ect.
2 hours buffing on amazon (Sonax 242141 Profiline EX 04-06, 8.45 fl. oz.) to buff clay streaks on the paint
30 min wiping with alcohol (99% isopropyl alcohol 99%) don't drink it.
1 hour applying the ceramic coating (Avalon king) on their website you could get $25. coupon)
6.5 hours of work I nead a break and nap inbetween application
that would be the whole day.
Should never asked him???
too late products are already ordered
end of month i should tackle this.

Thanks, I was asking because the shops around here are asking $600 - $800 for a partial PPF (Front Bumper and partial hood an fenders) and that sounds like too much with no ceramic coating. And if I go for full wrap is about 2K. Can't really see how to spend that much if it only have an average of 5 year lifespan. Plus here in AZ, the summer heat is very hard on plastic. Right now I looking at shops out of state to see how they price their work. Thanks for replying.

Freddie: I did check with a shop here in Scottsdale. $1,600 was for the entire front with clear bra. My concern was to get just the front nose and mirrors - they came back at $600. Sounds like we are around the same pricing.

I had my red Abarth done here in Tucson about 3 years ago. Still just like new. I do keep it out of the sun. Cost was about $1K for the complete car.
