road debris paint damage

i have seen a clear film sold by 3m
almost undetectable

Good topic. I recently bought 3M Ventureshield to protect the rockers from chips on the GT5. It is difficult for people to get in and out without kicking them. While the videos make it look easy to install the clear vinyl and I am confident it is after adequate practice, It is very stressful for the uninitiated. More than once I thought there was no way I was going to get the bubbles out and would need to write off the product. In the end, got a good result.

Just yesterday, another Pantera owner encouraged me to do the front of the hood and the leading edge of the rear flares that you show on your 5S. The bends are not very complicated there. Your photo has me convinced that I need to acquire more 3M material to protect the surfaces.

I'd love to do the front airdam; however, that is far beyond my skill set.

h,
have used clear on rockers behind front tyres to front of rear, also rear panel, also the rockers or inner door sill so that they dont get scratch with pple getting in and out. seems good,
get an experienced person to aplly and make sure surface to be coated is spottless otherwise you will get bubles or dirt stuck under and no going back from there.
cheers cj

Tagging a post from last year regarding paint protection. I've been looking at the 3M film protection, but interested if any new methods/applications are being used.

I had Xpel Ultimate professionally installed on my Ford GT...which I drive.

I highly recommend this product!

What's the installation process John? Do you wet the surface with a soapy solution to allow it to be moved and bubbles worked out once applied? This is the recommended method on the Mustang forums when applying factory decals to vintage Mustangs. Just curious how best to apply the 3M clear shield product.

Thanks!

I have 3M on my Murci and like it. Still like new after 6 years. 3M shows application process here: http://multimedia.3m.com/mws/m...protection-films.pdf
