Do you guys have any specific or general questions about anything? Or if you guys want me to take pictures of the cars that I do at certain angles or specific places/parts, let me know.

More of the white 350z with the vinyl wrapped gloss black roof:

How does the material hold up to being wiped with towels and the like? Does it show scuffs and scratches? Are there special types of towels to won't scratch it? If I had to take it off, what is involved? Just pull and peel? Any residue?

I'm in HB as well and would like to come see some of your work if you'd be OK with that. Please let me know because I'm interested in getting the roof and clear parts of my tail lights done on my white, 2009 C63.

It holds up fine. You treat it like your paint. Regular car soap washes and waxing (for gloss finish only, not the matte or flat finishes).

To take it off, it's just like you said, pull and peel. I've had several customers who've removed the vinyl off of their roofs before selling their cars before. Takes about 15-30 mins.

Sounds great. I'm interested. When can I see some of your work in person? I'm in Orange County (HB) so I can come around any time you've got something to see.

It is sometimes hard to coordinate that, as I am usually pretty busy and more often than note my schedule is constantly changing as appointments are set up/canceled/rescheduled, etc.

I hear you there but certainly I have to see some finished product in person before I can let someone apply that material to my car. I can come by wherever you are installing and watch or show up at the tail end and see what you've done. I'll make it easy. I am interested in having my roof (matte or gloss black) and the clear parts of my C63 taillights (smoke) done. What's something like that gonna run?

Got some new pictures that I haven't posted up, that I'll do later today or tomorrow.

Let me know if you guys want any specific pictures/angles for me to take, before/after/etc of the vinyl on the cars, and I'll see what I can do for you.

Also, feel free to post any thoughts or feedback you might have. Always looking for new ideas to do and try out

Too bad you don't carry the glossy CF vinyl... I also have a CF roof spoiler on my car, and I'm glad you post pics of the matte CF vinyl w/ the CF roof spoiler... I always wanted to see how it looks. Well, I ended up painting mine gloss black.

Had someone request me post some pictures of blacked out window trim and misc chrome parts.

I did the window trim on this C63, along with his chrome trunk lid handle and the top half of his side mirror blinkers.

Before:

Been having quite a few people ask me about interior wrappings, so here's some pictures so you guys can all see, versus me PMing people the same pictures over and over again.

Here's pictures of an E92 335's interior that I wrapped in the 3M carbon fiber di-noc vinyl material:

Nice job on the C63 Don, the window trims should all come this way stock IMO... and the CF interior on the BMW looks good too.

Thinking of wrapping the whole car....do you have any examples of a black, matte metallic type of vinyl? Also, any recommendations for who could do it near Seattle? I know of a few, but looking for references...thx

hey mate, i was looking at matt black the bonnet of my c63, but the guy in perth told me 3m doesnt offer large enough dimension of the material in order to wrap the bonnet with just 1 piece.

is this correct? if not, do you have the material ? can i buy the material off you since i am in australia.
