you have to have a lot of patience when applying the film. and keep working the soap/water out from under the film.
Looks like the self healing type uses hot water to shrink the film to get the scratches out probably do the same for other films out there..
I used the 3m film and took my time..Do it once the second piece of film is much easier..
Good Luck..
Thanks, Jerry for the review. I've used the 3M film before, but would really like to try the spray on stuff.
GARYD,
I am really impressed with the appearance of the spray on finish. Looks like a nice heavy clear coat over the paint...and the natural color shines through. Plus, no tall edges like the film. I also found it much easier to apply. It does take some prep due to the masking...but I found the whole process quicker than the film. I merely followed the written directions and got good results.
I'm wondering if the 3M film I ordered based on your recommendation was the wrong stuff. Sure seemed thicker and harder to work with than the material I had from Motorcycle Armor. Normally I'm a pretty patient person, but that stuff had me totally frustrated.
