Default I have the 3M on my '01 A4 and I notice it's starting to yellow...

Do you do anything special to yours (waxing, etc) to protect it?

BTW: Your denim looks great! I have an '03 3.0 Dolphin on order. I can't wait!!! : D

Thanks.

Rich

Default Xpel gives you the option of 3M or Avery Dennison...something like that...thats what i'm getting....

CT only has 3 dealers, and the guy installing mine cuts his own pieces, he get the raw material from Xpel in San Antonio and he has the machine to cut the kits, etc. He actually supplies the other 2 guys who install with materials. He likes the Avery Dennison better because he says its a little more flexible when applying.

Default By the way, what about protecting the rest of the hood? Have you gotten rock chips on the area...

...closer to the windshield?

Default You can put a strip of the 3M film there..

The installer said that some have put a strip of the 3M film on the roof between the sunroof and the windshield as well.
