Any recommendation on where I can get the 3M clear bra installed at? Looking for a shop that does top notch work.

Also, for those that own white cars, has your 3M turned yellowish yet? That is one of my concern on a white car. I've been told that these new film that they are supposedly using does not turn yellow. Any truth to that?

 

Don't bother getting 3M. Go to Metropolitan Detail up in Lynnwood to get VentureShield instead.

 

i use accutint in bellevue. good price, great service and install. i recently had a door guard piece start to peel and they replaced it while i waited..

 

NW auto salon also installs clear bras, but prefers the VentureShield product. Accutint in Bellevue also installs 3M and VentureShield.

I was discussing the problem about yellowing on clear film products with William yesterday. My car is a F360 in medium blue/3 color process paint. The 3M product was installed back in late Sept 2008, I've yet to see yellowing of any kind on car. Other folks with less time-just a few months in fact are beginning to see a shift in color, yellowing may be a stretch of condition, but a subtle change. It is widely known that cleaning products or chemicals in conjunction with sunlight can accelerate the yellowing.
I wondering if the automotive car wash (some contain a wax), or the type of wax/detailer everyone buys penetrates the urethane enough to make the film change color?

In my case, I limit the use of soap, in fact I use very little of the high-end car wash stuff for this reason, as it leaves less soap film behind. I use a table spoon or less, just enough to break the surface tension and release agent.

Thanks Vic, yes NWAS prefers VentureShield to 3M. Give a call anytime and Blake will tell you why.
