PAINT PROTECTION FILM, HAS ANYONE USED IT?

**Russrobe** · 10th July 2016, 07:36 PM

I used a 10mm thick microfibre roller and a similar thinkness paintbrush for the cutting in. Must admit for a first attempt it was pretty good. About to take it all off and do another coat this week but it just saved us more pinstripes from a track which was too narrow for us! I didn't realize just how much it hardens and underestimated the drying time.

Here's a pick after today. Even though i went in the rain too early yesterday the side panels still did there job! Bumper and bonnet are half

stripped though ohwel.

2 coats minimum, 3 even better.

It makes it both tougher but also easier to get off when you want.

Remember any little bits of residue use a metho soaked cloth to dissolve them, the metho won't damage your paintwork.

I'll be cleaning mine up this weekend.

When you are removing it could you take a few pics and post on this thread???
See if you can "split" a panel showing close up of the dirty treated section and the hopefully pristine panel under.

Cheers

Here you go Andy, one I prepared earlier!
Note the removed coating on the concrete.

Here in this one I'm removing it by hand, it's not anywhere as fast as with a Gernie or Karcher.

Do you think it will help on the rear window to prevent stone chips/breaking???
I have stone chips in my rear glass and its done very few ks on gravel towing a trailer.

Small stones yes, bigger rocks that would break the window still.
BTW it will block rear vision through it.

So does the camper trailer

Mirrors and reverse cam would be fine when there is no CT.

Ahh Metho that was it. Thanks Rich, got a few tiny bits stuck on the bonnet still. Will give it a shot.

Our Mazda 2 came new with paint protection. You wouldnt know it was there unless you looked. To maintain the warranty you have to only use a supplied car wash as they say some products have too much sodium and break it down. At each service they refill the supplied car wash bottle. Seems to work.
