Any experience with paint protectors?

Has anyone had experience with paint protection like WaxGuard PaintGuard and NatureGuard? Is it worth it?

Hi, I am trying the 3M film. I do a lot of travel on freeways (M2 - but against the flow of traffic). As a result I get peppered with stone chips. First time I have used this product. So far so good.

But if you are considering it NEVER EVER use Universal Shield at Brookvale for the application / install. They scratched my paint and damanged my leather when doing the window tint. Try Ozzi Cozzi instead.

Yes, I have tried it. Yes, it's a waste of money. There are numerous threads about paint protection, search through my posts and you should be able to land on those treads

. A bit busy at the moment to search.. sorry.

Ordering paint protection through BMW is probably a waste of money but definitely look into applying a good quality synthetic paint sealant every 6-12 months. Nanolex is a good one i've heard.

I looked at the waxguard products and i dont think they are worth the money.

As per the majority of the above comments, paint protection is a rip off!
