can someone tell me the instructions for installing the 3M ppk please...
I saw i can find that tape in europe but i really dont know if it worth it for everyday use and how to apply it to the car...

Thanks,

Dennes.

 

Can the clear bra be applied to the headlight lense too?

What are the long term effects, does the film yellow with exposure?

 

Have had mine for nearly 4 years. One of the best things I ever did for the car.
I also have it on my headlights. Just make certain that the film in no more than 40 mil. 20 mil is typical for headlights. Any thicker and it may cause the interior of the headlight to get too hot. Also, always do a "wet" install, especially on headlights. Stretching them on dry can cause problems. A few years ago, there was a couple of damaged headlights but this may have been due to the wrong cleaning solution being used on the lens before installation. It could have also been from a dry install.

Not all films are created equal. If you buy the cheaper, stiffer film, these have been known to yellow in time.

 

What about using Zaino on the car with the clear bra? My installer recommends either Zaino or 3M for protection. Do you apply the protection over the film? If so, do you apply Zaino starting with ZFX?

 

You can treat the film just like the rest of the car. You can wax it, Zaino it. You can also use Plexus on it.

 

Does it get as smooth as the surfaces without the clear bra on it????

 

does anyone have pics of a berlina (or other dark color) with the bra?

 

Here's a pic of the clearbra on my LGT. I took these pics the day it was installed, so you'll notice a some bubbles, and more "texture". This has all gone away. I need to get a pic of it now to compare.

 

I installed one myself.... won't do that again, I stretched the edges too much and it won't stick. But other than that it is great.

 

I've searched some of the other threads. Any suggestions on how to search for an installer in the CT area.

I'm having difficulty finding a local installer.
