Kirkham full body PPF
Hello everyone,
Just curious if anyone has applied a full body paint protection film (PPF) to an unpainted Kirkham to help mitigate oxidation, water spots, dirt, fingerprints...
Was it successful?
Cheers

But isn't Windex just basically watered down ammonia with a little blue dye in it?

There is a gentleman here in Lake Geneva, WI that I have seen tooling around in a polished bodied Cobra. Have not gotten a chance to speak to him yet. But it is a thing of beauty!
I did notice, yesterday, when he drove by me in the late afternoon into the lowering sun, that he seemed to have a problem with the sun reflecting off of the hood into his eyes. Little inconvenience for the stunning finish.

I remember there was a thread here re fpp on an alum car, don't remember what make.
He followed up some time later and stated "no problems"
search for that thread.

Thanks everyone. I'll take a look for the ppf thread.
My thoughts were to wrap the entire car for protection from oxidation and misc. deposits but maybe cheaper and easier to keep Windex and towels handy.
Cheers.

Will that stuff even stick to a polished car. I don’t think so.

We have a build coming up for a client of a fully polished car. I'm planning to work with our detailer on ceramic coating options for it. The high end ceramic products are pretty amazing and on a non-daily driver should last for over 5 years.

Thanks for the info Cashburn. I didn't think of ceramic coating, that may be the ticket.
And thanks for the images Dennis. The lower picture is great and I haven't seen that one before. Wonder where that neighborhood is...
Cheers
