I'm sure it will be fine many years after the warranty expires. It doesn't come off easily after given a chance to dry but can be peeled off (heat gun makes it easier). There will be some adhesive left on the paint but with a LOT of elbow grease (and adhesive remover) it's not impossible to get off. Insider's may have a better way but I don't know of it. Removing a lot of it would certainly be a royal PITA and I imagine a good polish job would be needed to remove the subsequent swirls from all the rubbing.
As far as wax - treat the bra just like you do the paint.

 

Does that 3m bra stand out?
Is it noticable?
I was about to get one but saw a metro car around where i live with it, boy did it stand out.
as long as it does the job i guess huh.

 

If you're suggesting that it's very noticeable then you probably saw some of the crap they sell on ebay. Does this "stand out"?

If it's not 3M or Avery then you don't want it.

 

well actually his ended half way up his hood and i saw the line where it ended i guess thats why also.

 

They all do.

 

Really, either he had some other material which i doubt am pretty sure he had the 3m or you cant really tell on that picture then.

 

If you stood right in front of Ravenwerk's car you would see the line. Any more than a few feet away and you can't see it.


BTW Ravenwerk, great shine on your car. Red rules.

 

Well the nearest XPEL person isn't very close to my location you know much about the Clear Shield product even thought you proably dont like boasting about different products?

 

I have no input on Clearshield, I don't know anything about them. Whom ever you use ask questions, whats there warranty what it covers and what it doesn't, do they use precut kits or do they hand cut kits. If they are hand cutting kits run as fast as you can you do not want anyone using a blade on your car to install a clear bra. More important how long have they been doing it and see if you can see some of there work.

I had a customer come to me yesterday with a brand new C6 to get my opinion on her installation from someone else who she is taking to small claims. The kit peeled on one corner two days after installing it and the guy won't redo the car it has scratches in the film and it has been hand cut on the car when I told here that she was very upset nowing she could have cut marks in the paint and to top it of it was one of the worst installs I have ever seen. So don't be to worried about price be worried about quality of work and what happens after the sale. This product is worth every penny if it is done right and you have someone who stands behind there work and isn't a sorry ass.

I have an '06 Rio. The installer that put the 3M film on mine actually covered 24" of the hood and front fenders rather than just 18".

The hood line is visible if you look for it, but at any distance at all, you can't find it. When you do find it, the line on the fenders and hood blend together in a graceful curve that looks nicely planned and not just some straight line where the plastic ends.

As most of the others above have stated, I'll never have another new car without it.
