Default Need advice on 3M clear bra

Quote was around 300 for the whole front and mirrors.

Don' do that much highway/freeway driving. Is the A6 paint job good or should I do the clear bra?

Default I used 3M from Griotsgarage.com and it never faded compared to the OEM stuff in front of the rear wh

wheels which yellowed!!
I also used on top of the rear bumper (Avant), sure saved the paint, try it on the rocker panels as well or ...... I think that stuff is great!

A62GO,

Here is the lowdown on the film.

I am not sure what brand you are going with there are many these days. Make sure you know if it pre-cut or hand cut on the car out of bulk. Big difference and risks involved.

Things to find out

Is the product 3M or something else?
IS there a damage warranty?
Is there a product warranty?
Installer guarantee?
What exactly are you getting for $300.00

The 3M product will not fade, discolor or yellow for the life of the car. It is made from a 6mil(3M calls it that) urethane film that is clear as can be.

The installer is the most important part of the process.

If you have any more questions let me know and I will try and help.
