Ship X7 from CA to NY, how to prepare the car?
Featured on BIMMERPOST.com Paid a little extra to top load on the rack. First time to ship a car, is there something I need to prepare for? X7 has full PPF. The driver told me I am not allowed to cover the car on rack due to safety concerns. What's the best way to protect the cars? Thank you all. |

I know of some people that will put TracWrap on top of Xpel PPF for extra protection at the track with no issues. Not sure what sort of PPF you have, so you might want to check with the manufacturer/installer before doing such a thing, but it could be a quick/cheap way to add a little more protection on some areas with little work. It would be good to know which way the car is facing so you don't go overboard.

We're hitting 130+ on the track regularly with a lot more braking and acceleration then a carrier would dream of, so I wouldn't worry about it blowing away, I'd worry more about it sticking too well. TracWrap is an Expel product and I know people that have used it with Expel PPF... I'd hesitate about other combos unless you get some better assurance it won't ruin your PPF. TracWrap is also 8 mil where the stuff you linked is only 1.5.

Take an insane amount of pictures and videos. Don't leave anything of value in the car. Remove toll tags. Note the mileage.
