XPEL ULTIMATE installation experience by Raja

Just got my XPEL done (2016 M4 / gray ) by Raja last night and I must say, I was just blown away with overall experience and I highly recommend Raja for XPEL installation.

At first I was little skeptical about his work, as he was working off on his 5 car garage but he is actually fully licensed technician with vast of experience behind his belt. On the phone, he carefully explained overall process, answered all my questions and assured that this was fully covered by same warranty you would get as if you go other authorized XPEL installation shop.

As I was dropping off my car, he again went over with me of where XPEL will be installed - Full hood, bumper, fender, side mirror, door edges & guard, rear bumper section. during this time I also requested to see if he was able to fix "crazy glue" smudge that was on rear bumper which I was not able to get it off with glue goo remover.. he took a quick look at it and says he'll take care of it as well.

Says would be done next day by 6pm and gave me loaner. As happens, he texted me 45minute before 6 and told me that the car is ready to pick up.

The car was spotless top to bottom, perfectly installed as he took time to show all the details and not to mention, the glue smudge on the bumper was cleaned and buffed as new. I was extremely happy.

This was a "First Class" customer oriented experience that I hadn't recieved in a long time. He was open to suggestions, willingness to hear and do what he can to make you happy in and out. Very very cool "Car guy" you can rely on for the job.

I high recommend Raja to anyone and certainly I would return over and over again for any other job he was able to handle.

Glad you have had a good experience. So basically full car installation is 1 day or did it took him 2 working days like from the morning to the next day evening?

Also if you do not mind me asking how much did you pay and do you know how the invoice was split with this I mean how much did the foil itself cost and how much did the installation cost.

I am asking this because I received a ball park estimate of around 6000 euro for my F82 which I find ridiculous expensive. Because for that amount of miney I could have my Alpine White car repainted a couple of times.

no usually takes 1 full day but since he was pretty close by where I live , he requested to have car drop off night before to do initial prep which I didn't mind..

I don't think it's good idea in business to open post of what I paid, but here in NOVA on M4 paying anywhere from 1500 - 2250 (or more) is somewhat ideal target depending on how much you want it done.
I know what I paid was very very reasonable, and with kind of quality work that I received, I would go back again and again.
To me especially XPEL, quality is far more important even it means paying bit extra. but in my case I feel that I received both.

You can get a full car wrap for around €2-3k so Xpel should be in the same ballpark.

Then full will be at least double because more panels need wrapping.
