Stongard, Xpel, or Invinca-shield? any dif?

Between Invinca-shield , Stongard, and Xpel I'm narrowing it down to the last 2 (mainely because of the similer pattern they use), however is anyone aware of any significant difference in the material?........all same mil, latest formulation of 3M Scotchcal or what?.....TIA.

I had Stongard on my Honda. When the material caused my headlights to craze (my opinion, they threatened to sue me if I claimed it as fact) they refused to honor the warranty and even told me to take the car to Honda and claim it under my car warranty. When I complained on a Honda related website they (Stongard) threatened to sue me for slander. As far as I am concerned, Stongard and all of its local distributors are nothing but criminals. The product is worse than worthless and so is their guarantee. I also came to learn that at the time, there were lawsuits pending by Nissan, Audi, and GM regarding Stongard damaging paint finishes and headlights.

All of the above is just my opinion, some second hand information and is not meant to be presented as fact. I wouldn't want to be sued.

i've used xpel and Invinca-shield. The patterns are more precise with the "IS" product. However, they often lack complete kits. I used a combination of Xpel and IS products to get complete coverage. The IS stuff turns out to be a little oversized and often needs a bit of trimming. It's all quality stuff though.

Whatever you do, pay somebody to do the front bumper.

Here me now, believe my later.... I helped my installer do the whole car. The front bumper is a *****. He went through 4 films before he got it right.

Thanks for the comments.
I've installed this stuff before but last time on the Turbo I had it done by a pro.......and will again w/the Xpel as that bumper piece is very large (Invinca has 4 pieces for the Xpel one).

I'll assume they are probably all using the newer 3M & same mil thickness.
