Tek wrap 5d- hands down. Took my car to a local car show. Custom Porche Panamera owner stopped and said " I can tell that's real carbon fiber from a mile away" I didn't say it was a wrap. Went to look at his car- he had a 7k carbon hood... true carbon wing, interior- looked the same in the sun It's about the sheen. Tek 5d is gorgeous- don't stretch it much. There were a few tiny bot wraps- frankly it was obvious it was a wrap. Looks cheap in the sun- Thanks for this video!
@@johnchang7537 tough one... They both look really good. I'd probably go with TekWrap, only because I have more experience with their vinyls. But in person for me, cosmetically they both look identical.
Tinybot 6D and TeckWrap 4D look like they came from the same off the same production line and just oriented differently. And TeckWrap is half the price of Tinybot.
Out of these, I personally would go with Vvivid, given how water can get under the laminate of the other two. In my opinion, it has the best combination of durability and realistic looks of these vinyls compared
@ColorChangeCustoms I got a few samples of some Nebula series colors, and their Vinyl seems really nice. I have some Metro on my Bpillars. I want to replace it, and after seeing your video, I'm sold on the Tek R, but I'm super curious about the Aura. I might have to order the 2" sample they offer 🤔.
I am curious to know whether or not the Tinybot 6D Carbon Fiber had a clear protective cap on it. I had watched a CK Wraps video and the Tinybot 6D Carbon Fiber that he installed onto a hood had a clear protective cap on it. I just received a order from Tinybot, a 1ft x 5ft roll of the 6D Carbon Fiber and it does not have a clear protective cap on it and didn't know whether or not they sent the wrong stuff or if they changed things since CK Wraps video or possibly they don't put a clear protective cap on the smaller size rolls.
The 2 BIGGEST and most important difference between TEK R and the rest of the glossy carbon.....weather resistance and self healing froms scratches. Vvivid TEK R will not de-laminate. All the others WILL de-laminate when it rains, snows, or when there is high humidity. Vvivid Tek R also has self healing capabilities for hairline scratches/ swirls. If you use a heat gun, you can make scratches literally dissappear.
Yes, I've got another video showing the non-existent water resistance of eBay vinyl (i.e. cheap vinyl) vs VVivid's. It was pretty eye opening to see how much water got in between the eBay vinyl's laminate and vinyl layer, whereas VVivid was totally unaffected. Also, heat on vinyl (gloss vinyl in particular) does activate the vinyl's "healing" effect which makes micro scratches disappear.
I vote for Vvivid Tek -R . The tiny bot vynl has wierd stuff happening to the reflections where a heat gun was used to help install the vynl, showes dark spot in shiny reflection. Saw a video on that one, plus delaminating extremely easy sux too. The Tec-R is a quality vynl and has self healing properties in higher temperatures… that’s a no-brainer for me.
I know this video is old but in your professional opinion which one would you go with for the interior of a car, I wanted to go over all my wood trim in my Mercedes
Between these three vinyls, I personally would go with Vvivid. That’s because I am familiar with that film the most, and in my opinion, it offers the best balance between looks, ease of install, and quality.
Oh man, that's a bummer. I haven't looked for that amount as I only needed a 1' x 5' sample roll. Generally speaking, the vinyl wrap industry has been hit pretty badly with the whole logistics/supply chain problem world wide. Even big name companies like 3M and Avery are having a hard time keeping up with demand. Hopefully availability gets better soon!
I don't disagree, as there's more to consider than just the cosmetics. The video was specifically a cosmetic comparison, but of these particular vinyls, I'd only install VVivid carbon fiber vinyl. But, to each there own I suppose.
In my opinion, the TeckWrap 4D and Tinybot look the most realistic. Vvivid is right there, but purely in terms of realism, TeckWrap and Tinybot look slightly more realistic only because they are more black whereas Vvivid is grayish in color.
I haven't had a chance to put Tek R right next to real carbon fiber, but compared to other carbon fiber vinyls, it is very grey in color. However, I might say it's not dull looking...when clean, Tek R is really glossy and almost looks wet.
The only one that is fully water proof is VVivid. I am working on putting together a video showing a water test with Tinybot and TeckWrap (VVivid I already did--here's the video: czcams.com/video/HPjbIY4I340/video.html). I'm hoping to get the water test video comparing Tinybot and TeckWrap published soon, but the bottom line is both Tinybot and TeckWrap allowed water to get under the laminate.
I’ve seen it, but not used it. From what I’ve seen it looks amazing. But…it’s also PPF, and from comment on various wrap forums, not easiest to work with
@@ColorChangeCustoms Yes looks beautiful I’m in mid-Canada and hard to find a place to sell and install the product Very one wants the fast dollar and doesn’t want to work with a harder installation But to me it will be worth the extra time and money spent ✌️🇨🇦 Thanks for the reply

Thanks for this video!
Just bought some
Thanks for watching! TeckWrap has made some big improvements from when I first used them way back in 2014 for sure
Color wise the TW 5D was very black nice in color.
It does. In person the TeckWrap is quite realistic looking!
This is what I was looking for! Thank you for the video
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching!
@@ColorChangeCustoms Which film you think it's easier to install for interior? I'm considering either TW4d or Tinybot 6D
@@johnchang7537 tough one... They both look really good. I'd probably go with TekWrap, only because I have more experience with their vinyls. But in person for me, cosmetically they both look identical.
4D & 6D look great !
Tinybot 6D and TeckWrap 4D look like they came from the same off the same production line and just oriented differently. And TeckWrap is half the price of Tinybot.
They do look very similar up close. Hard to tell which one is which if you didn't already know
Which one would you choose as far as quality and close to realistic to use for a pair of aluminum fenders on a car ?
Out of these, I personally would go with Vvivid, given how water can get under the laminate of the other two. In my opinion, it has the best combination of durability and realistic looks of these vinyls compared
@@ColorChangeCustoms thank you for the response, i appreciate it
@@BC2FITTY sure thing! Thanks for watching!
Have you ever compared the Aura C/F gloss Vinyl? Seems Vvivid Tek-R reigns supreme. I'd be curious.
No, not yet. Aura is one I was not able to get but am definitely interested in a comparison when I can get some.

No, the roll I had, 1’ x 5’, didn’t have a plastic cap. I’m guessing they must not have the cap for smaller rolls.
They told me the reason they take it off is because the vinyl tunnels if the cap sheet are on anything 3ft and below.

But impossible to find a tek4d 6ft x 6ft for a hood

people should care which last longer, which remove easier, which doesnt ruin the paint when removing.........not just the look!

Who makes the glossiest blackest darkest cf wrap???
That's a hard call as it's all a subjective measure, and I've not been able to directly compare all the various brands.
I think teck wrap 5D is the best
In ur opinion which quality carbon fiber wrap looks most realistic of all the ones you have used?
In my opinion, the TeckWrap 4D and Tinybot look the most realistic. Vvivid is right there, but purely in terms of realism, TeckWrap and Tinybot look slightly more realistic only because they are more black whereas Vvivid is grayish in color.
Is that vivid tek sample black or grey?
It’s black, but in reality it is more of a grayish tone.
@@ColorChangeCustoms thanks for the reply!
Tek R is very dull and looks grey when next to real carbon fiber. By itself it looks fine but not when your trying to accent with real carbon.

@@ColorChangeCustoms Tiny bot really impressed me. It's looks way better and has the brown undertones you should give it a try.
are they all of them water prof ?

Tek 4D look more realistic, but all of them are a good looking CF wrap
I agree, the TeckWrap 4D does Look really nice in person.
