Can you spot the seams? There are some things that have to be done before anything else to a car. One of these things is a 3M ClearBra application
This is by no means a cheap service. However, it should pay itself off by preserving the condition of the car’s front end and other areas suceptible to damage, such as door handle cups, sideview mirrirs and door edges. the kit I had installed includes hood, entire front bumper including grill and headlight washers, headlights, foglights, door sills, door cups and side view mirrors.
Scotchgard Paint Protection Film maintains the beauty and integrity of automotive finishes on vulnerable exterior painted surfaces such as leading hood edges, fender end caps and rocker panels. This rugged urethane film helps protect against stone chips, bug damage, abrasion and weathering. Scotchgardâ„¢ Paint Protection Film is transparent and nearly invisible, and it does not alter vehicle appearance.
This was done a few days ago and the haziness that I was told to be normal has already disappeared only the plasticized surface remains which causes a slight orange peel effect on the nose. This should disappear in 4 weeks once the product has cured. Overall I have to say it’s money well spent.
Update (12/14/2005): Yes; it’s money well spent. Following a gravel truck today which happened to drop gravel on my car what would have been otherwise rock chips, were dirt specs that I was able to wipe off.
