- How To PPF Headlights Tutorial - 2 Techniques - (No More YELLOWING, EVER!!) Let's go over this PPF installation on these Ford F-150 Headlights. This Paint Protection Film installation will stop these F150 headlights from going bad over time. So, no more yellowing, delaminating, or looking cloudy!!
In this video we will go over 2 PPF techniques for bulking PPF on headlights. On one headlight, we'll make a template with transfer tape. On the other headlight, we'll do a standard bulk PPF installation. When I install Paint Protection Film, I use the template technique a lot, but I usually don't use it on tougher headlights. The more stretch the headlight has, the tougher it is to make a good template for it. This is a 2012 Ford F150. Even though this is an older truck, all of the techniques still apply to headlights on newer vehicles. Knowing how to Bulk Paint Protection Film is essential for any PPF installer. Follow along as I go over the full process, step by step from start to finish. Learn some new tricks, tips, and techniques on this Paint Protection Film installation. Let's do this! :) PPF How to Tutorial DIY

It's taken years to perfect our installs, and we'd like to share this knowledge with everyone.
My name is Brent and I have been an automotive window tinter since 1998 and have been installing paint protection film since 2004. In 1998 I took a 5 day class to learn the basics of window tinting. Then I started tinting cars and learning as I went. In 2004 I bought a roll of paint protection film (clear bra by 3m) and taught myself how to install it. I am now the Owner of ENCORE Window Tinting and Paint Protection Film in Stockton, CA.

Surgical with that blade bro good stuff 😊
Many, many years of practice! 😁
Great content! Thanks for all!
Yup! No problem. It was nice chatting with you. I hope the information was helpful. :) Welcome to the channel!
fantastic work!
Thank you! 😁
Fantastic video! I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge. I was wondering if you would mind sharing with us what brand of PPF you use? Is it 3M or do you prefer another Brand’s offerings?
No problem. I'm glad that the videos are helpful. 👍
We use Premium Shield for our PPF.
In some cases I think bulk would be easier, but I'm not good at cutting yet. Either I cut too deep or don't cut deep enough. I never get it to squeak. I wouldn't mind buying a plotter, but the cost of the software would be too much. Thanks for taking the time to create the video, I know it's hard work.
Thank you for the recognition. Bulking and kits Definity both have their place and benefits. I've you watched my video on how to learn to cut/trim ppf on the paint of a vehicle? I'll add a link at the bottom of this comment. What brand blades are you using. I only recommend OFLA. I've tested aftermarket blades without much success. Stick to OLFA. Let me know if any of this is helpful! :)

@@EncorePPFtint Will be checking out the video !!!
Yeah i went to the 3m distributitor and only wanted to buy bulk Even though I'm not very experienced at cutting that was only 16 a metre or something Instead He just said yeah Come round and had pre-cut it made me feel obligated To buy it and charge me ninety dollars Just because he's fancy machine cut it out. Didn't rate that part of the experience but I thought what you said too perhaps having a large bit might actually be easier except the cutting accurate part after 😂
You should have told him. 👍🏻 I would have just given them to you at the bulk price at that point. He only would have been out a little time at that point. That's his mistake for not being clear about what you wanted. No big deal. 😁
Hi great videos,can you tell me why I get pre tack marks when I need to stretch patterns into place ,what soap do you use for your slip?
We just changed out our soap a week ago. We are now using "seventh generation" dish soap. It is available almost everywhere. CVS, Walmart, Target... So far, I'm at about 6ml per gallon. I think the range is between 4-8ml depending on shop temp and how long you need the material to be workable without pretacking. 👍🏻
I could use a little more info on the pretack marks. Are they where you are stretching to, or are they where you stretched from? Are they small silver areas or work marks in the adhesive? Do you need a lot of tack solution around your stretch areas? My guess is that you are overusing your tack solution because your slip solution has too much soap in it.
Is this any special ppf for headlights like we’ve got for windshield or is it regular ppf which is used on painted pannels? Can we use regular ppf which is used to protect paint on headlights and if it is the same then how does heat from headlights effect the longevity of the ppf ?
Really curious. Thanks!
You are correct. It is the same PPF that is used on the paint. In all my years, I've never seen PPF have any issues with the heat from headlights. I'd guess that the film has to put up with way more heat from a 100-degree day and the heat on a hood. 👍🏻 From time to time, I have seen issues with high power/heat fog lights (very rare). The Paint Protection Film will turn black. My best guess is that the film is getting too hot and as the fog lights get mist and dirty water on them from the road, it instantly dries on the PPF and stains it. In that case, just remove the PPF, and you'll be good to go.
Hello my name is bill from SL Restorations I am also a subscribe membe.r Thank you for the two techniques on headlights protection. Could you tell me where I can purchase the transfer paper to make the pattern for the headlight thank you
