Question 3M Protective Film?

Here is the link:

3M Protective Film Page

I was wondering if anyone has this on their car. If so is it hard to apply yourself or where is the best place to get it! I just want to know if it really works as well as the company says it does.

i actually want to get it also, but there are more choices than just 3M, reason i say this is because, my friends 350z witht he 3M yellowed in less than a year in SoCaL weather, and the installer didnt want to warrantee it, there is a shop close by to me that does it, and they do a great job, one of my coworkers got his headlights done 2 years ago(not using 3M stuff) and still clear as day on his GTI, once i get my FB painted again i WILL get it done to my car so that there are no more nasty rock chips,

ya it is expensive at first but it beats getting the front of the car repainted every so often, if i had a sposor, and i would be hitting shows for them then i would want to have 2 sets of kits one for daily and one for show, not that hard to switch them out a few days before or the night before...

but ya, im rambling cus i think this is worth the money

Its like clear vinyl, but a little bit thinner. I saw it on a car at HIN before. I heard it is hard to get a the bubbles out and it takes some time to apply. This is a great idea though if you drive the highway alot. Once it is on properly with no bubbles, you can barely tell it is on. You can also use hand wax over it just like normal paint.. at least from the brand a local vinyl shop near me sells.
