PPF - heeeeeeeelp (please)

Post by Funksta » Fri Nov 11, 2022 8:57 am

After a long wait I am finally going to be putting my spec into Ariel next month for the car to be start being built. Cannot wait for all the fun the 4 is sure to bring!!!

I am in Southampton and approached numerous detailing/paint protection companies for a quote to PPF the whole car. Not one has come back with a price 😔

Has anyone in the south of England (ideally Hampshire) had their Atom 4 done? If so pleeeeeease share the company name

Thanks very much 👍

I used Auto-Protek near Camberley for my Atom 3.5, they did a good job but was only the bonnet. I also used Konigs detailing just north of Winchester to PPF another car, but whilst there I saw an Atom 4 in for complete PPF. They are a good detailer but don't know how well they did that Atom 4.

I used Mint Condition in Chelmsford. They had already done a 4, so had a template for it. I know they’ve done loads of 4’s now. Did a great job.

For what it’s worth, in my experience the ‘good’ detailing and PPF companies are typically extremely busy and get an awful lot of time-wasters requesting quotes (not that I’m suggesting you are) as there’s always a lot of back and forth.

Best thing is to drive over to see them, discuss what you want/need in person. You’ll get good advice, a feel for who you want to trust with your car, and a better sense of the value rather than the price. Plus, there’s usually some amazing stuff to look at and lots to learn. Good luck!

Edit: And I can recommend Gemclean and Daintons in Reading and Concours Detailing in Aldermaston, should you fancy travelling a little further.

I used Paintshield in Waterloovile. They did full PPF including wishbones, driveshafts, chassis tubes etc.

He has done 5 cars for me over the years. He had an Enzo in last tie I was there.

He has also done another forum members Atom 4 as well.

I've just had PPF fitted by Mint Condition UK in Chelmsford, the same place as Sven and other Atom 4 owners. Steve did a great job, I am really pleased. He has a comprehensive template set that he has created for Atom 4. I got a quote from Pro Detail in Swindon, but they were quite a bit more expensive. I also also got a quote from Scudo Forte in Portsmouth, they were the cheapest but were just using the Xpel template and hand cutting the rest, which I wasn't keen on.
