It is a great idea. I had one put on my car and it has stopped so much debris. You can't even tell its there unless you're about a foot away.

 

front 1/4 of hood, behind lateral corner of headlights, rear door corners (including side skirts), love it

 

how long have you had your clear bra for? any yellowing? post some pics

 

I've had it on for since Friday so no yellowing, VentureShield has a lifetime warrenty against yellowing so hopefully I never have to deal with that. I'll post some pics Wednesday You can't even tell its there.

 

Usually I'm a huge 3M fan... I use their clear plastic on a lot of things... I used their non mineral grip tape... about 100% of my graphics on my dirt bike are 3m.

With that being said, I don't recommend 3M scotchguard. It isn't warrantied by 3M against defects. A shop close by put 3M on a show room lambo. 6 months later it started turning yellow. 3M told the shop oh well. 3M product turning yellow is a common thing. Sunlight, gas, chemicals can make it turn yellow. It can also harden quickly and become brittle.

If I were you, I'd look up VentureShield dealers in your area. Supposedly it breathes better, has a better factory warranty, and lasts quite a bit longer. I was quoted $550 for my MR with Aero kit and two rear doors.

Hope this helps.

 

I want one, I am currently looking for an installer in my area. Is there a big difference between the 3M and VentureShield, which one last longer and will take the most abuse, ie rocks from the highway.

 

VentureShield hands down will last longer.

 

The place I had it done did a complete custom installation using Xpel. The installers said they had used 3M and venture shield before, and Xpel was a superior product.

I have xpel and it seem fine with my other car with 3m

 

How does washing/waxing the car work with this stuff, people? Does the soap used damage it and such? I have always been concerned about that. Thanks!

 

With mine, i can wash/wax normally. I tend to be careful around the edges so i dont snag it with the wash mit. With waxing, i tend to only use the spray on quick wax and wipe it off. If you use paste/liquid, you will get white dust/wax build up along all of the edges of the film.

 

Same here just be carefully with the edge

 

Seen a white car with it (3M) this weekend and it looked like it was starting to turn yellow.

 

I've had the 3m on my car for over a year now. It has saved my paint and no signs of yellowing. Then again I drive my car 2 days a week and it's garaged at all times when not in use. I use xpel on my headlights and it's really great. It's a lot thicker then a expected it to be. It will definitely protect the headlights from large sized pebbles.

 

i have one on my evo 9 has stopped alot of rock chips. it is a lil yellow in some spots on my lip but other than that its like it isnt even there
