2014 BMW 228i M Sport - Ceramic Coating & Paint Correction | Copperas Cove/Killeen/Harker Heights

2014 BMW 228i M Sport - Ceramic Coating & Paint Correction

Our awesome Copperas Cove/Killeen/Harker Heights/Belton client brought us his third vehicle to us for ceramic coating, and the second BMW we have ceramic coated for him. At Harker Heights Ceramic Coatings, we also worked on his BMW i3, which we conducted paint correction and ceramic coating on. Additionally, we polished and ceramic coated his 1986 Merkur, restoring it from several decades of neglect (before he purchased it). What does it mean for us? When we work on multiple vehicles for our clients, it really means the world to us. If someone trusts us to ceramic coat/paint correct/clear bra their entire “fleet” of vehicles, it means the world to us. Enjoy this video of this 2014 BMW 228i M Sport!

Ceramic coating makes bug guts and road grime clean up so much easier!

Surprisingly, this 2014 BMW 228i M Sport’s paint was in pretty good condition for a car that is almost nine years old! Of course, we still conducted an extensive auto detailing, which included a clay bar and iron and fallout remover. Then, we pulled out our Flex polishers, Lake Country HDO foam pads, and Meguiar’s/Sonax compounds and polishes, to perfect this 2014 BMW 228i’s paint. Afterwards, we used Undrdog protective coatings on this vehicle to protect it from the elements on the paint! Are you in the Copperas Cove/Killeen/Harker Heights area? Reach out to us to get your vehicle protected with one of our awesome ceramic coatings after we restore shine with our paint correction services!

PAINT PROTECTION FILM/PPF/clear bra OPTIONS:

Typically, we would use STEK clear bra, Llumar, or Legend PPF gloss or matte paint protection film. Next, This clear bra article covers the major differences between clear bra/paint protection film/PPF companies, if any. Moreover, there are minimal differences between major film manufacturers like Xpel, SunTek, Eastman, Llumar, 3M, STEK clear bra, Flexishield, Global, Legend, and more. Importantly, the key takeaway is that the primary differences are in the properties of the adhesive, which installers have to deal with, but generally don’t affect anything the client sees.

is clear bra/paint protection film/PPF the same as xpel film?

Of course, our clients at HHCC frequently ask about Xpel clear bra/paint protection film. Naturally, our clients want to know if Legend PPF, STEK, Llumar, Kavaca, and other brands compares to Xpel at all. Did you know, a lot of people use Xpel to mean clear bra, because Xpel is one of the most popular brands? Besides the information above about clear bra/PPF, we also discuss Xpel and if it’s the same as PPF/clear bra in this article.
