Yay! Finally got my first paint chip

I do recommend Ventureshield as the first option, then LLumars new film (which is what I have similar to Ventureshield) and Xpel seems to be good as well. Ventureshield- Virtually

I do recommend Ventureshield as the first option, then LLumars new film (which is what I have similar to Ventureshield) and Xpel seems to be good as well.

Ventureshield- Virtually NO orange peel, strong film, if you scratch it you can use a heat gun to remove the scratches
Llumar- Strong film, virtually no orange peel, strong film, has self healing properties like ventureshield where heat will remove scratches.
3M- a lot of orange peel, strongest of all films but is the hardest to install. You can treat it like paint and it handles it fine (this meaning abrasive compounds to get a scratch out as this film is a clear coat not just a top coat).
Avery Dennison- Very orange peeled, slight cloudy look to it not recommended.

Keep in mind the films are not scratch proof so treat the film as well as you would your paint. I use Adams Merino wool wash mitt and dab dry with their "softest" micro fiber towel and the film is flawless.

Any questions don't hesitate to PM me or ask on here and I wiill give my input experience. All the films above I have had on my car or wifes car so I have 1st hand experience with them.

No problem, at a minimum I would recommend Front bumper, headlights, full hood and full fenders. I recommend full hood so you don't have a line across your hood blatenly showing you have clear film on it.

Make sure the installer will wrap the film as well. My hood, fenders, doors and rear fenders are all wrapped so no lines. You can't tell I have clear bra.

Its the best investment you can't see
