Installation 3M Clear Bra Paint Protection Tampa, FL

this store, i think (but best to check), only sells xpel. but from one of the xpel sponcers of this site, i think he mentioned that the self-heal ones end with a part number with -U.

so if you're into that stuff, you can try ordering from autopaintguard.

one thing to note though, the last xpel i did on my Z's rockers yellowed within 2yrs. it couldve been old stock, not sure. the xpel i did on a dark blue car in the past had no visible yellowing even after 6yrs.

after a while, it's easier to just get a generic roll and cut as one applies it, and tuck the ends into the nooks or over the fender or bottom panels. just a fuller, cleaner install that way.
