It's a much smaller amount and cheaper, you will get one use out of it and they recommend only 3mths while the Paint Shield can last for up to 18mths if you recoat it.

Oh btw put it on a cool paint surface out of the sun, you will get a better finish.

Thanks Rich, I just bought 4L of Paint Shield! Finger crossed no more pinstripes!
$150 to save a $10,000 paint job, worthy investment!

Make sure to apply a second coating on the wing mirror covers and the side facing section of the rear tail light as I found it is a little more difficult to remove from these parts. However, no issues on removing from the metal, bumpers, wheel archs, etc.

How long did you leave it on for Mario? Hope it will atleast stay applied over winter...

Not long, only 2 weeks as our off road trips are not frequent. We apply it about 1 week before a trip so it can cure and remove it when we return home as Mrs Mario doesn't like the look of it on a black car (especially when it gets damp and looks like the Milky Way Galaxy ). Rich mentions on an earlier post that he has left it on for several months so should be good for extended periods. I would do the same if my trips are more frequent. Just wash the dirt off the car prior to application, apply a good coat or two, and avoid the temptation to pick at it when it gets damp and soft. It will dry clear and firm again.

For me, such a product is so far my best find on this forum as it enables me to drive the car to its extremes: luxury car on road to bush basher off it!

Enjoy!

Yep with an additional coats say after ever 4 mths you keep it on for up to 18 mths. I kept it on for nearly 12.

Yes it definitely changes the look of your paint job - to a textured satin / Matt finish sort of tougher look.

How does it come off guys? Peel or high pressure hose?
