3M paint protection - how's yours fairing ?

[Scoobs]

Hi Guys,

Just wondering how your 3M paint protection is traveling ?

Mine was done 2 years and 3 months ago, and I believe it has really gone off now. Not yellowing, but just has a real dull finish.

Just clayed and polished my car ready for a wax in the morning, and was having a good look at it.

When it was first applied, it was very hard to distinguish from the adjoining paint not coved. But now it is most definitely duller, and I can't seem to get it to shine like before.

Has a life time warranty from memory. Not sure if I would bother with it again as I do far less freeway miles now than I first got the car.

Anyone else finding the same ?

Not fairing well at all...so much for paint protection, couldn't even protect the paint from bullets after driving through Belmore with Storm flag raised high.

Surprised you even got as far as Belmore..

4 years on mine has done a great job of protecting but it's now quite marked in places. No yellowing though. Some of the worst marks look like oil stains that I seem to pick up when I follow others too closely on track days.

You're talking about 3M Ventureshield paint protection film?

If so, yeah mine's okay. a couple of minor issues, but nothing major at all. Had it over 3 years now. Definitely no yellowing/fading or cracking. Mine is sealed though with the same sealant used on my car.

Also saw one on a mates Lambo and mates 360. Both were near perfect too. No issues to report.
