I GOT RIPPED OFF! DID YOU?

[Music] what's going on guys christian here from ck rafts today i'm going to be doing a video on a couple of brands that are on the market as far as vinyl wraps go uh one is a new brand one is an old brand and you're all very well very well aware of the names of these brands one brand is a nosetech obviously we know this is fairly new to the markets and then we have heard of techrap which is the other brand these brands i've been told are the same brand uh essentially i've been told this okay this is not something that i'm just making up out of nowhere i've been probably told this by a hundred plus people at least dozens of different people um and shops and things like that where they've they've been working with both films or they've used bowl films and noticed similarities between the brands i'm not here to say yes or no to that all i'm here is to do is to show you a comparison of these two brands right here okay um and again this is not biased like i don't make vinyl i don't i don't have any stock market in vinyl manufacturing or like that so i really don't care what you know in the end who's making how much money or whatever nobody's paying me to do this it is what it is again this is just a demonstration for you guys now this is going to be a controversial video because obviously one brand has done some very good marketing and you know put themselves way above everybody else and the other brand is just kind of is what it is you know one brand is known as like chinese vinyl which is probably tech wrap a lot of comments about it being chinese vinyl and i'm not disagreeing i'm just here to show you the similarities or the differences between the two products um and those tech that i've been hearing is chinese vinyl as well um so again here to show you the similarities and differences between these two brands right here these two brands uh as you see beside me right now this one is tech wrap right here it says it right inside the roll um this one's tech wrap says it's right there and this one right beside it which is the exact same color let me just make it make sure that stands there is inositec now i've installed nosetech on a bmw m4 uh so if you guys are looking for inositec install videos check out my website ckrafts.com i'll put a link in the top corner and in the description below for you guys uh i did a full car of this stuff and uh it also looked amazing you know i'm not gonna lie it looks really good so these two products right here you can see they're they're the same color and we're going to get more into this as we go along here um i do have a green here right beside that purple that i did order with the purple thinking that it was going to be a green that was close to innocent text it wasn't so it's hard to tell online when you're ordering stuff um so it you know whatever it ended up being a darker green because i was gonna actually looking for the mamba green i'll actually show you the color book i'll grab it right now so this color book right here this is a nozdex color book okay i don't have a tech wrap color book because i don't install tech wrap um why because personally i don't trust the product personally i don't trust the product that much um again i don't make vinyl so whatever i just install it i was looking for this color right here which is mama green and that's obviously not the same color as you can see it's much lighter over here uh regardless we have an ozotec midnight purple okay that's it right there this color is the same as this color it's identical so another reason why i'm doing this video here is because a lot of you have been like oh i can't buy it in ozotec because they won't sell to the do-it-yourselfer or you know the small shop or if they've never heard of you kind of thing so you basically have to prove you prove your worthiness of their product uh i understand hey whatever they're allowed to do whatever they want to do as far as the brand goes our product goes they can sell it to whoever they want they don't have to sell to everybody but if you wanted the same color it's right here okay this is not necessarily called midnight purple metallic midnight metallic purple or whatever they call it um this is the same color though okay they're identical in every way except for one thing and we're gonna get into that also um i ordered so let's kind of start this off i ordered tech wrap uh anonymously because when i place an order and they know who it is they're probably giving me a different product or their best product or they're gonna make sure there's absolutely no flaws or whatever it is i didn't want them to know this time about the product so i put two different orders in okay um this order separately and this order separately these two orders right here um they said that they came with a plastic release liner okay so this plastic release liner this is this is not plastic okay this is paper okay so this is failure right off the bat uh i got ripped off and this actually makes a difference in the finish so this is actually just paper you can see i can tear it very easily okay that's tech wrap when on their website this is the problem that i have with it right now so on their website it shows that they have ultra gloss which is what they sold this to me as and they sold this to me as ultra gloss two separate orders okay guys these are not placed in the same batch or same anything i even had it shipped to a different address so they couldn't trace it or anything like that different name different address different credit card all that stuff so i wanted to i want to get the real thing i wanted to get what what you guys would necessarily get that's a big problem because this is not ultra gloss anymore um there are other similarities between in ozotec and tech wrap but i'm going to show you what i actually got with a sample a real sample shipped straight from tech wrap right here which has the plastic release liner let's just actually cut that off and they knew they were sending me this because i specifically was talking to someone about it and they sent me this ultra gloss gloss black plaster release center so these two products right here should actually have a release liner that looks like this oops stuck there so it should have a plastic release center it looks like that it doesn't right it's plastic once paper doesn't doesn't make any sense okay so i got products that i didn't order i'm not here trying to return it whatever this is just this is just for video again i just want the truth right i want i want what's reality and what's not reality um you know for the for the general public for you guys uh i could care less i ordered these samples again just for video purposes just to demonstrate um all i actually wanted to do was show these two and the greens side by side um you know that's all i really wanted to do um if they had sent me this with the plastic release on i bet it would have been much more like this but that's okay because i actually have a nose attack gloss black right here and i have tech crap gloss black right here both with plastic release liners both with a plastic hard cap on it so we're going to be doing two different little comparisons here as far as the video goes i'm going to stop talking and rambling here but again this is really useful information for you guys because you got to know what you're ordering and what you're getting in the end and i think that's very important that um there's transparency within within the brands and you know that they're not lying to you about products that you're getting i've had a lot of conversations a lot of conversations about a nose attack okay i've only used it once i've used it on a whole car successful i used the tech wrap uh satin silver chrome whatever you want to call it wasn't really chrome um on my whole entire jeep i had no problem with it really no problem with it at all um i don't leave it on for very long but hey who knows um so again i didn't have problems with either brands okay so this is all up to the installer in the end um if pigment fades that's a different story we don't know the tech sorry i know stick hasn't really been around long enough for us to know if pigment is fading i guess it's been a little over a year now but you know in some hotter areas maybe like arizona texas florida uh south florida you know this probably could start showing some weathering i don't know i i don't live there so honestly don't know but but we're not we're not we're really worried about that right now what we're worried about right now is the product similarities and the differences between them so let's bring the camera in to show you guys what exactly these products are like okay guys uh we're gonna do a little product demonstration here on the hood of my new whip uh this is my new jaguar f-pace uh slash mommy daddy mobile because i'm having a baby um in july let's just clean this off a little bit i did wash it this is a brand new car okay there's nothing wrong with this thing there's obviously minor imperfections in the paint i'm happy to point them all out for you in another video but it is what it is i don't really care all right it's gonna get wrapped all right let's light this off make sure it's nice and clean give it a fair chance here now we're going to cut off some of the tech wrap midnight purple it's called midnight purple because it's the same color as tech wraps let's cut it off let's talk about some certain things here that are going on with the product all right let's move the roll out of the way and i'm just going to kind of square the piece off so let's just do that let's throw that there i'll use that as a piece to show you guys and let's cut off the bottom right here okay we're going to talk about what's going on with this product right now okay this product is it's got a paper release liner it actually pretty much falls off like it's falling off of the paper release liner it's very very easy to remove that um this has a protective cap on it okay so it has that and it's rigid okay rigid very rich let's take the nose deck let's cut a piece off i'll just cut a piece off right here i don't have an ostek with the plastic cap on it uh because when you get this product what you're supposed to do is remove the entire plastic cap otherwise it starts to buckle and causes tunneling i'll show you what tunneling is tunneling is tunneling is in this role right here um so you have to remove that that plastic cap otherwise it's going to tunnel so there's nothing to show you as far as that goes but we have the plastic relief liner instead okay it's clear that's that's the nose deck they haven't branded it as far as the products i've received from them ghost uh so there's no markings on it whatsoever at all let's just actually show you this and i'm going to try to allow the camera to focus i want the camera to focus as much as possible and i'll take a picture of it actually to actually show you the air release pattern between the two so these these air release patterns are um i'm gonna look at it very closely right now the square here on the anos attack and they are square on tech wrap it's this this means something but it doesn't really mean anything um they could be a different size could be different depths there could be different things going on here okay so the small square air release patterns um i've seen i've seen techcraft a move to a square release pattern over the years i see a lot of actual brands moving to that um it is what it is i find the installation is probably a little bit better now this product is i don't even know which one is which now um yeah this is the this is the nose deck this is tech wrap so let's just talk about them off the car okay here are your two samples you're gonna tell me that these colors are not exactly the same look at them let's let's just stick them together they are identical okay there's nothing different about these colors i couldn't tell you but even looking at it in person there's nothing different so i don't know what you're seeing in camera but in person there's nothing different here okay exact same color so you've got your midnight metallic purple let's see what these products look like when they're actually installed on the hood itself i'm going to cut out i'm going to make this a little bit more square still let's do that let's peel off the plastic cap just to be fair here because i don't have one on my nose deck you should be removing this plastic cap guys i understand that when you get these products it's very difficult to unroll the entire roll and then remove that plastic cap but that that plastic cap that's like this is gonna cause tunneling in your film okay so you have to remove it also guys these two products prices are considerably different okay the price for an ozotec in canada is about twelve hundred dollars a roll okay for 65 feet okay i can buy tech wrap this color right here 75 feet for like 400 that's three times the price for a nose attack what am i paying for i don't know well i guess we'll find out so we have black adhesive okay so also i forgot to mention that earlier on these two pieces right here they're both black adhesives black adhesive on the tech wrap okay same it's the same air release pattern right there nothing's changed from removing the pla the the release liner nothing has changed at all another thing to mention here is that inositec has said that they they make a cast calendar film supposedly this is impossible uh i was talking to people from 3m not really huge friends with 3m but hey whatever and i was told that making a plot uh sorry a film that is cast and um calendared is almost impossible uh why bother why not bother just making it one or the other um because the amount of money that is spent in doing that it doesn't really make a lot of sense but hey whatever this is what i've been told um again this is just information that i'm providing to you guys you guys can choose and do whatever you want with it let's squeegee this down on the hood no there's a scratch because it's a little bit dusty it's okay that's what happens with gloss film sometimes and we're going to put these two colors side by side okay the air release i mean it works okay so fine it's like any other film i don't notice any difference let's grab the nose deck right here with the orange clips on it and let's cut a piece off you can see it's a little bit dusty it's been sitting up there for a little while since the bmw m4 let's cut this piece off [Applause] again no markings on the film so i i really i mean you guys can say that i'm not using it for for whatever reason but i am using it let's put that over there because it's an awkward shaped piece what i'm going to do is just dust this off a little bit it's been sitting for a little while before i really get into squeeging it down i just want to make sure it's pretty clean okay paper release liner which i got robbed on and plastic release liner we're going to look at the difference between these two products right now we're also going to go through heating and stretching so it feels the same removing it it's the same amount of tack everything is the same okay let's just actually lift this up and i want to show you that i'm dealing with the the same product here okay okay so it's it feels the same to me right here very easy to put down very easy to lift off sticky sticky enough so i'm not i'm not complaining or upset about the adhesion level or anything like that i'm just kind of just talking about similarities here or differences in that matter let's grab the edge of this let's squeeze this down and then once i squeegee this down i want to bring you guys in so you can see the colors uh it's kind of funny uh it's so weird actually looking at both of these products right now i'm not noticing all that much ultra gloss this is the exact same roll i used on the bmw m4 guys okay exact same rule so we're gonna bring the camera in i'm just actually going to heat this up so i'm going to get rid of some of these swirl marks for you let's do that first because there is some self healing to the film let's just heat it up make sure it's nice as nice as can be [Applause] any air bubbles [Applause] okay so these will get that will get rid of some of the swirl marks let's bring the camera in so we can actually see what these products look like again i'm not going to cut the scene or anything like that i want you guys to know that i'm not cheating here or doing anything different okay so let's look at the quality of this light let's look at look at the clarity of this light sorry so the clarity of this light okay we have our i don't know if you can tell but these products colors are identical there's nothing different about them look at it from here go from further back look at it from up close look at it from all different ways as many ways as you want to look at it guys we will look at it try and go around here okay so i'm not seeing a difference in color um i do see a slight difference over here in the actual finish still looks a little bit orange peeled okay this is a little bit orange peeled this is a little bit orange peeled as well oops i'm i'm looking at it versus the camera there i got to move my head all right so again a little bit orange peeled a little more orange peeled so the reason why i have a little bit more orange peel on this side over here is because i got ripped off okay basically i i didn't get the plastic release liner that was supposed to come with the film and that plastic release slider actually makes a difference in the clarity of the finished product now what we're going to do is we're going to actually compare these products in the same way okay so we've we've seen we've seen the purple let's look at the black look at the black the black i have right here from enos tech and the black i have from tech wrap now this one's got a lot of tunneling in it that's okay this one also has a lot of tunneling in it because i do not remove the plastic cap and i'm so going to show you what that tunneling is okay so this is the tunneling here guys all those all those ripples or all those air gaps that you see in the release liner they're not caused by the release liner they're actually caused by the protective cap that goes on top of the film so if you remove the plastic cap this hard rigid cap you don't get that you don't get that anymore okay so this is tech wrap right here sorry sticker this is a nose deck right here i want to show you what their plastic cap is like we're gonna we're gonna get a good spot a nice clean spot because this product once it starts to tunnel it's very bad and when it's bad it looks it looks bad so here's our nose tech plastic cap very rigid very firm just throw that there let's grab our tech wrap right here which is actually branded it's marked again for all you guys know i could be using some other product because it's not it's not branded so you have to trust me on this one um this is straight from the nose deck by the way so it's not like i ordered it on alibaba or or amazon or whatever because you can't um it's straight from innocent so let's check out the tunneling on this okay that's tunneling in the tech wrap as well okay i have better um spaces between my tunnels uh but they're still bad okay so like you can't you can't wrap anything with this maybe a mirror you can cut out a section right here and use it use it for the mirror or door handles or very small pieces but it's pretty much toast so let's cut out this section here that's tunneled and show you what that looks like when it's installed i'm just going to try and i'm just trying to stand the roll up here guys sorry one second okay so we have we have two tunnels on here let's just cut that one out for now it's too small we'll use this side over here so tech wrap has oh what do you know hard plastic cap okay same thing it's why is the tech wrap because it says tech grip on the back it's got a tunnel it's got tunnels is there a difference between the adhesive shape or size or anything like that you guys tell me again i'm here to make decisions for you i'm just here to show you products so this is no stack over here with the clear and let's check out the air release pattern the the clarity of the film doesn't has no relevance whatsoever so the clarity of the of the backing paper i don't know if you guys can see the tunneling at all i'll try and keep some angle there for you but regardless i'll take a picture and show you what these look like up close so they are identical identical to t identical to a point so much that it's probably made in the same place and no stick on the left tank wrap on the right the tunnel version of the film which is over here this is tech wrap and this is no these feel the same guys like they're they're they're literally they feel like they feel 100 identical to me right now okay there's nothing different as far as feeling goes when i pick up both this product here from techcraft with the plastic release liner actually feels much better than their product with the paper release liner which is i was expecting this and i got this so we're gonna install this we're gonna put it down let's see what the tunnels look like on the film so that plastic release center must be removed before installation it's actually recommended that you remove the plastic release liner when you get the roll or when you start unrolling the roll let's put that there let's put this one right beside it squeegee this down a little bit more let's put it on a more flat part of the hood so to do a better comparison here the hood is a little bit warm because i was driving the car that was a nose tech by the way so let's put this here and let's kind of just look at the reflection or clarity differences here as far as the installation goes they feel they feel exactly the same to me they feel the same pliability they feel the same thickness i'm going to show you with heating and stretching also okay whatever forget all that over there let's check these colors out in person uh or sorry up close but let me just add a little bit of heat we'll try and heat out some of these scratches here give it the best chance of looking of looking good let's bring the camera over now this is tech wrap this is a nose attack i see i don't see any difference when i when i cross from here to here maybe you guys do i don't really see much of a difference the colors of black are nearly identical okay i don't see a difference in this black versus that black i don't see a difference in the adhesive both clear or both black whatever you want to call it okay so the adhesive same color okay um the tunneling is what i was talking about earlier is like if you look at these two lines right here you can see them they run all the way up you're going to see these tunnels same thing here they run all the way up you're going to see these tunnels in your film if you don't remove that plastic cap now let's take these products add a little heat and a little stretch i just want to see what it takes to make it feel pliable because right now they're both pretty rich like this one is pretty rigid this is tech wrap let's heat it up [Applause] so it's shrinking down really nicely um let's just bring the camera over here a bit more so shrinking it's pre-shrinking which is what a lot of films will do so when you notice it moving see what i have to say right now is like you can see here where i heat it it's all nice and smooth over here it's wrinkled now watch when i heat this area here how it responds and then we're gonna do the same thing with the nozzle deck [Applause] okay so you can see that it starts to go flat i'm not i'm not stretching the film you can see it's very loose okay it's very loose now again the film feels nice and soft it feels pliable can we stretch it yeah of course now it's now it's good to go and stretch that way out just look how thin that is now okay so that's your tech wrap let's take the anostic it honestly feels exactly the same thing to me but again you might feel otherwise when you're installing it i don't feel any difference so watch watch what happens here so oh it goes all smooth and then all the wrinkles start to go away just like that and i'm not pulling it's very loose okay so same thing it's nice and soft it's nice and pliable okay exactly the same thing this is this is very common with any any film guys it's not like this is any different um as we stretch in those attack like that what you're going to notice is it's going to definitely lose the gloss so this is this is lost a lot of gloss you can see up here where i haven't stretched right here just just this very small strip up here see that i should have shown you that with tech wrap so again it's a little bit overstretched whatever but it's going to show you this very same thing that's that's your nose stick right there the thickness of these films guys the thickness the adhesive pattern the adhesive color the color themselves the clarity and so forth are in my opinion the exact same where they're made i don't know i don't make i don't make vinyl so i really don't know all i know is that i've been told that techrap i've been told a hundred times thousand times probably that tech wrap is a chinese product and if that if that is true that means that inosite is a chinese product as well um again i can't say for sure because again i'm just going off of what i've been hearing and what i've been told i hope that this video kind of shows you guys you know the products uh what you can get where you can get it what you get when you order uh when you put your order in because again i did not get what i ordered with this product right here and again that's a big problem i'm not telling you necessarily to go and order this i'm not necessarily telling you to go and order this one here either if if i could have gotten this purple from tech wrap with the plastic release liner i guarantee you these products would be identical to a t is it going to last longer is this going to last longer is that going to last longer who knows um again this inosec has not been around really long enough to truly show the natural environment that a car is in uh year round so techcraft has been around for quite a long time and it's also one third of the price so 400 roll 1200 as a roll you also get only 65 feet with this roll you get 75 feet with this one 65 feet guys let's just put it simply 65 feet you cannot wrap some cars entirely with this there's actually a lot of cars out there you can't wrap entirely with this 65 feet does not allow you to wrap a dodge charger a camaro or a challenger with 65 feet okay so that's impossible uh because the bumpers are actually taller than 30 inches you have to cut into the roll again for those those three cars right there very very very popular and common cars um in the wrap world and in the you know in the in the modification world and so forth you know i've done my share of actually camaros and challengers never done a charger but i know because i've measured the charger so the nozatec will not allow you to wrap a full car with their full roll size and their full roll size is also three times the price this one over here for the for the i would say for the loss and clarity that you that you get which is not much uh i did show you guys this is very well worth the price if it comes with the plastic release hunter it's even more worth the price so if you happen to get this instead of paper on the backing and you get it with that plastic you're going to get a clearer film and in that case it's going to be much more comparable to the inositec midnight purple and in that case you can sell that as an ultra gloss it's just that when you order this you don't know what you're getting and that's where my problem is with that pro with that brand right there my product with my problem with a nose deck i don't really have problem with the nose i don't have a problem with tech wraps film other than that they kind of screwed me out of the product that i ordered i get what i order from the nose deck i know that i'm ordering 65 feet i know that i'm getting ultra gloss cool i got i got those but again the comparable difference between the two is this worth six seven eight hundred dollars more than this product right here just because it might be slightly more clear again i showed you guys that video i didn't in the video i didn't i didn't modify it i didn't change anything it has nothing to do with me i just want to show you what you can get for your money how you can get it and where else you can get it if you really need to and this right here is where else you can get it um you're not going to get the same product to a tee but you're going to get a very similar product again i have no idea if these guys are manufactured in the same place again when i hold these two gloss black vinyls and order it yourself or if you want to go ahead order a because it knows tech now sells by the yard or by the foot um you can order a nose tech call a yard or two you can order some tech wrap at your article you can compare these two gloss blacks and see what they feel like for yourself i'm not trying to hide anything here i'm not trying to throw anyone under the bus but there is there is marketing and there is strategy marketing strategies and there is ways to get our product to seem like it's maybe better than it is you know and i'm not saying that one or the other is doing that it's just very common in the business world guys i hope this video was informative and helpful in showing you these two different products um their similarities their differences again not a lot of difference okay other than the fact that i kind of got screwed out of what i ordered from techgraph but again i did have the tech wrap in gloss black and i had the nosetech in gloss black which were almost identical to a tee guys again i hope this video was informative and helpful i'm looking forward to doing more videos for you thank you for watching i appreciate it take care
