I just started shopping this but I want to drive my car but this pain is not as durable as the original I think, maybe its the clear coat not thick or hard enough or maybe my painter used a lower quality paint? I have 3 chips all my fault , something bumped or hit but this seems to be way too easily chipped. SO before I have one chip on front hood or back, I am want to do a clear wrap or clear bra , on the whole surface.
I just saw an episode of the Bitchin' Rides and they did a whole car. no idea what product the used but I cant afford to pay someone else to do this. So it will be a do it yourself project. and I spent too much on paint and body to have to do this again in a few years! and I want to drive the car on the road some with out worrying about every piece of sand or bug etc possibly causing a chip. Anyone with experience doing this? please share your thoughts and experiences here! Phil |

My Cayman has the AutoX package on it, not 3M but some other kind.
Whole front inc lights, fronts of mirrors, inside of the door handles where you would scratch with finger nails, front of rear wheel arches where you get rocks and will possibly hit a cone. Can barely tell it's there if you did not look close for the lines. Self heals. Takes wax great. Cons: Careful when you wax as it builds up at the lines and takes a bit more care to buff it out. Peeling at the chin because CA cannot make gentle entrances to parking lots and my east coast ass does not always remember to pull in diagonally. Truth: I wish I did the whole car as it would have been good money spent. |
