How much did it cost you?

Bob, didn't you have an A4? Traded it for an All-road or you always had an all-road?

Where there and chips or dings before you go expel put on? Where all did you have expel put on at, full wrap, including....?

I did full wrap with mirrors, headlights, bumper, a-pillars, and door sills with Xpel ultimate.

Either your camera or your graphics program is botching up the orientation byte in the image file. My cell phone does that often, too.

Try a different graphics program like IrfanView or Gimp. Or in your current program rotate the orientation once or twice to clear the bad byte, and save the image when it it the direction you want.

Loving all the photo progress!

Hey bob m, PM me if you want to get those images all rotated properly. Let us know what image editing software you use. Also, are you a Windows or Mac user?

I'm definitely looking at getting my allroad protected as well. Thanks for all the panel protection recommendations so far. I'd been wondering how far I'd want to go since I have a white one.

Yep I had an A4 and yes, traded in for the Allroad. Nope, no pings, dings or swirls - the car was garaged and I applied a coating myself when I got it. Whole front end - hood, front bumper, fenders, headlights, mirrors, A Pillars and front top of roof, gas cap and top of rear bumper.

How long did it take Phil to do the work? I could get the PPF done anywhere between philly and NYC but if this guy's got experience on the B9 I'd rather use him.

Sorry for the delay in responding. I had mentioned to Phil that I was on a tight schedule, sos hr moved things around as an accommodation, brought it in Monday and and it was ready late Tuesday afternoon. A job well done.

Looks great. I have an appointment for Friday morning, although the shop is recommending Suntek (they install both).

Might have missed this but did you xpel the matte painted fenders as well? Did you use xpels matte clear bra or just the regular. Thanks.

bob m

Nope, no Xpel on the matte bumpers, but they were coated with a Nanalex coating. Regular clear bra. All have held up well and there are not front bumper pings and dings - thanks to the Xpel. And the coating is incredible. If I were leasing a car, I might self apply a coating simply because I like a clean looking car and a good coating saves lots of time and effort in keeping the shine on, makes cleanup a breeze. But I would not invest in Expel on a leased car.
