Post image

Is ppf worth it ?

Im getting ppf for 6k for full bike and 4k for just tank .. ig i know the ppf guy. The tank costs 11k .. is it worth it ? Coz then you can be carefree for minor scratches and can be washed anywhere currently only getting contact less foam wash

scratches tell stories, it's a machine use it like one, anyways bad ppf will ruin it more than just scratches. I'd personally not recommend it

True . The ppf comes with a 5 year warrenty and 2 inspections per year .. does this change anything?

warranty is if ppf goes bad because of manufacturing defect not for any damages you cause to it, also it doesn't cover damages to the tank incase you need to replace your ppf again I might be wrong on this, haven't done or even considered ppf

tbh if there's retards living near you, you can consider it, my neighbour doesn't tell his kid to stay away from someone's property and that kid goes around with rocks banging shit, so in a situation like this, you might wanna consider it

Firstly I agree, scratches do tell a story, secondly if you get a completely brand new tank, that costs almost as much as the ppf, so even you want an immaculate tank, better to use the current one and get a new one 5 years down the line, altho in my opinion that's still not something I'll put my money on

Better get ceramic coating

u/Think-Union9646 2d ago

Is it worth it ?? Does it prevents swirl marks and scratches? And should i get it done from triumph only?

u/DistinctWealth7773 2d ago

Yeah definitely.it will prevent swirl marks and scratches to some extent.it is not as potent as ppf but it works.on speed 400 scratches are on top and thighs placement of your tank.Get tanks guards from triumph.u don't need to do ceramic caoting from triumph u can do it yourself.after that use formula one wax and shiner on top of that.bro 11 k is absurd amount.15-16k may toh dobara OEM paint ho jayegaa.basically if u do ppf u r paying 70 percent of the bike paint.lastly it's upon u wheather u opt ppf or ceramic.

They dont repaint it only gets replaced .. the ppf for tank is costing me 4k with 5 year warrenty

Brother, s400 tanks are scratch magnets. if you wanna use magnetic tank bag or any tank bag for that matter, if you wear zipped jackets or hard material while on bike, also if you place any such stuff temporarily on the tank, finally if you leave in a neighbourhood with kids or senseless parents, just get it PPFd. peace of mind will be yours.

Also changing tank at 11k is logistically irritating and how many times are you gonna change it anyway
