I have the same feelings, it takes me back to my grandma's living room.
Can't convince myself to do it,...yet.

 

Hehehehehe don't tell me we've got the same Grandma!!
Ohhh dude that made laugh!!!
Next thing you'll tell me you used to get hot milk with a disgusting film/skin on it.... brrrrr gives me shivers just thinking about it lol.

Kinda makes ya wonder what our grand-kids will say about us.

OK sorry for getting of topic Haku!

 

Zero911, would you mind sharing the information as to who you use that you have had good luck with? Appreciate it.

 

Fellas your opinions are really useful and my thanks for that.

Whilst the majority points to getting the film I am intrigued by Rocket_Boy's comments. I'm also affected by the "Grandma's living room syndrome" that Psycho Sid mentions. There does however remain one overiding factor and that is my maniacal obsession to keep my vehicles in pristine condition. A ding or chip drives me nuts and until Rocket explains chip repair I'm not sure which way I may go...but am leaning toward getting it.

 

Get it. I have it for 6 years on my bimmer and 8 years on lexus SUV...won't even think about not getting it in any of my cars. Highly recommended!

 

In the bay area the Xpel installers in SF and Fremont are supposed to be real good. I have not used them though but I plan to use one of them when I get my car...you can check it out here http://xpel.com/products/dealersearch.asp

 

Well, I think I'm sort of convinced to get it. Its going to be full hood, bumper, fenders, and mirrors. I've decided to use Paint Protection of Nashville who seemed to be the most knowledgeable installer I talked to. They recommended Xpel or Clear Shield and quoted $1300 for the install of either. I aim to get it done in the next few days.

Anyone have opinions on either product or installer?

 

Out of curiosity, who might this be? Reason we ask this publicly is because ALL of our technicians have been with us for 10+ years, so if there is someone claiming they have worked for Premier, this would be false.

 

I saw the protective film on the Vehicles at the Porsche World Road Show. It was hard to tell the difference with or without it. Although, they only did half the hood :-)

How does it work in those car wash machines?

 

car wash machines??? You are kidding right?

I've NEVER put my cars thought those scratch machines.

 

Hmm, if this is true then I may have been misled. The quality I saw on his cars and that I received on mine was just as good as friends that got theirs done at Premier so I did not question it. I am curious now and will find out.

Please don't take my comment as a knock on Premier in anyway. I have seen your quality and it is top notch. My comment was mainly to point out that prices are coming down and there are others who have excellent quality as well so researching is definitely worth it.

Of course false claims are not cool, obviously I did not research enough.

 

A question to Premier. Unfortunately you don't have a location in central or eastern TN otherwise you'd have had my business

What's your experience with either Xpel or ClearShield and which would you recommend? The installer I aim to use in Nashville does either of them.

 

No offense taken. We have heard of some outlandish claims over the years..especially over the internet, so it is absolutely necessary for us to clarify any misinformation out there.

 

I know you meant this for premiere, but i will add that i am very happy with the xpel ultimate, i can't tell its there unless i really look for it and its very easy to keep clean and waxed.

 

Your input very useful and is much appreciated BD, as is of all the others who have responded.

I do hope my installer is on the ball and knows what he's doing always the weak link huh?
