Has anyone tried 3m paint protection film

I put it on the hood on a truck I have, an 07' I bought new. 222000 km still looks good no yellowing.  I have noticed it yellow on others though, gotta be some junk knock off stuff out there.

Do you like them?

I had them do the film on one of my previous trucks w/o any problems. I don't know of any shops doing it in the Peterboro arae.

Hope so.  

And as long as next buyer likes the no chips or no sand blasted paint look the better.

So, the Challenger is in and pick up on Monday.  Tell me why I don't like Mondays.

Anyways I think the 3-M is a great idea and will get that done, although has anyone tried the Ceramic Pro.  It was recommended, but I don't know enough about it.

I think this would work better, and it's only slightly more expensive. :$

Thanks Irv,

 

I would have been OK with the dealer putting on the 3-M even knowing they just sub it out and mark it up.  But when they were asking me what I wanted as if I was the expert I said hold on a sec.  So I called a 3-M dealer and he suggested the ceramic pro as well.  What is it and what does it really do for me?

I am not really interested in applying anything myself.  Thanks.

It was just a joke, AC. I receive e-mails from E-Shine and that wax was shown in their ad. I had never heard of it before but then I seen the price! :wtf:

I have used a lot of waxes over the years, some fairly expensive ones too, but nothing remotely close to that one I posted! Imo, although I am not a professional detailer, I can't see that one being remotely close to being worth what they are charging for it.

I'll stick with Collinites 845 insulator wax that I have used for more than a few years now. Imo, it's the longest lasting wax I have ever used, and that is what's important to me. https://www.eshine.ca/products/collinite-liquid-insulator-wax-845-16oz

I got a quote to do the front  bumper and 18" up the hood for $550 but i cant decide if i need it or not. Only see issue on dirt roads and I'm not tailgating when I'm on the camp road most times.

In Oshawa at Get Wrapped Trimline. They are on Marwood just off Farewell (south of the 401). 888-890-4321. 

 

Probably 2 hours to do it.

I paid $600 for front bumper and hood.  It was quick and done by a private guy in the dealers bay.

 

i had way too many chips on last Ford not to do something.  401 by milton with all the gravel trucks dropping dust and stone chips on road is brutal.
