    Tony, as far as scratching the speakers when moving, I can relate.

    I ended up borrowing a dolly from a friend.
    I put the grills on my larger speakers then wrapped them with moving blankets. The blankets were held in place with electrical tape.
    To fully wrap them, including the bottoms, I first laid the blankets on the ground then laid the speakers down on their backs on top the blanket. Wrapped & taped then stood them back up and onto the dolly. Worked great.


    Now piano black…… I’d be very cautious with those rough moving blankets. Maybe a Saran Wrap type of layer first may do the trick before wrapping with blankets?

    I dropped my vehicle off for PPF and front window tint today and got to see this machine that they just completed PPF, tint and ceramic coating on. Ferrari 812 GTS. Could’ve spent the rest of the day looking at it. Amazing!

    What’s “PPF”?
    “Human beings are born with different capacities. If they are free, they are not equal. And if they are equal, they are not free.”

    Or, in the words of @agingboomer, do your own research. 😂

    What a lot of the more expensive vehicle folks do is PPF the whole car.
    That’s the film they put on the front end of the car to protect from bugs, rocks and the other things that f-up your paint, it’s that clear stuff they used to call a clear bra.

    I wonder if the ceramic coating is needed if the whole car has the PPF.

    I can say without a doubt yes.

    The ceramic coating doesn’t prevent rock chips.

    This particular place puts ceramic coating over the PPF. I’ve been using a retail (Adam’s) ceramic coating for the past several years. It does make the washing and overall maintenance process easier. PPF keeps the random rock chips at bay, though.

    ^ 100% agreement.

    Adam’s is the ****. 3 of our cars done with Adam’s ceramic coating.
    The 89 soup has ceramic coating over the clear bra up front.
    Awesome stuff.

    First time I have seen that Ferrari.

    The "flow" of that car from front fender to upper rear is perfect and magnificent!

    An obvious ulterior motive is at play!

    Hmm -- maybe a Union Jack wrap for a Cybertruck, and a star turn in the next Austin Powers movie? :#
    I am sure there'll be another one, even if they have to use an AI Mike Myers. Heck, maybe they can tie it in to the Marvel Comix multiverse?!

    EDIT: PS The license plate (EVHAULN) is kind of clever, I must say.
