    Re: clear bra

    All depends on how much coverage you are doing and the installer film/cost/region. Bad films don't come off correctly. A good installer knows the proper method to remove an older film. If it's brittle and cracking be prepared for the worse.

    I paid 800 in indianapolis, cheap ppf will yellow and not last.. mine is just as good as day 1.. have had it for 4 years and take care of it as I do the paint.

    It does have a couple ugly nicks from rocks.. but better on that than the paint, so I guess it's working

    3m or xpel. the only way to go. I install xpel. but it can be difficult. I recommend you either take the time to learn and get everything otherwise you should pay a pro

    I did the xpel training and I've been offering to my clients since then. you definitely should leave it to someone who knows what they're doing. a number of things can go wrong and given the cost of the film, its better to pay for a knowledgable installer

    and whoever is saying PPF is junk has probably seen junk film. I use / recommend Xpel 'Ultimate' (self healing with 10 yr warranty)
