He has zero ability and he actually assessed my areas of concern in person 2 days after I collected it (scorch marks, jagged edges, cracks and lots of debris under the film, particularly on the carbon roof) and he told me verbatim "this is the best I can do, it's a hand done job". He wanted to redo the bits that were falling off.

According to him the job is not complete until after a 2 week check. If it's rubbish from the beginning, then it's rubbish.

I also wanted my mirrors done, he got half way through one and that was it. He couldn't do it.

Also, if this is pre-cut, why is it hand cut?

The film was only on for about 2 weeks, I had it ripped off and then the whole car done at Platinum 1 in Sydney for a similar cost to what you mentioned, wow, what an operation that is. Slick as it gets. That is the silver lining, that I ended up with an amazing result.

What did your friend say about all this? He did make the referral after all…

Thanks, Lex, appreciated.

Considering all of the work performed, plus removal of the previous disaster (I assume), 5 days really isn’t too bad. Nor is the amount they charged you. At least now your car is exactly as you want it to be. 👍😊

This doesn't look much better...

Obviously apologetic but unfortunately that doesn't get my money back.

The company is L&H Wrap Garage in Sydney.

Pictures below - do you think this person has any formal training?
The supplier of the film apologised profusely and will make sure this does not happen again via this installer.

He was recommended to me by a friend, unfortunately in Australia, there is no protection for consumers so I've been stitched up and lost AU $5500.

I politely requested a refund and we go our separate ways, he point blank refused and said legally he has the right to redo it.
(I am aware that this is correct for legitimate businesses) - His facility has a couple of stick on strip lights on the wall.

Obviously, there is no way he would be going near the car again. It's lucky the car wasn't destroyed.

I even paid for ceramic coating of wheels that he did not complete, yet refuses to refund this component too.

He PPF'd over a bold, straight over sensors and every panel has glue marks from multiple attempts at re-positioning.

Scorch marks, cracks, countless debris under film, bubbles, jagged hand cut curves are the main features. when pre-cut Suntek PPF was paid for.

This looks like I did it . 😳
