I need to use both the above products again. My July roadtrip did a number on the car, and I've been too lazy the past few months to do it! Maybe I'll be productive this weekend...maybe ;)

Sounds like you need a clear bra

Could probably help ya out with that. Next time he's in ill see what i can do. I assume youre asking for the IS300? He did my bumper hood fenders for like 300 bucks. And i have the stuff to do door edges on hand.

for an 09 silveraydo! Is300 gone. Well, i'd take your offer on those door edges too. Can he do the rocker areas? Not sure what is recommended.

Nope. I went that route on my Evo IX and it turned into a giant hassle. I'd rather use this kit once or twice a year.

What kinda hassle? Yellowing from the sun?

I ended up getting it replaced about every 6 months (under the lifetime warranty) for yellowing (which is always going to happen against white). I forget the name of the stuff now, but this was basically the bees-knees product back then and was supposedly vastly superior to the 3M film in every way (strength, clarity, resistance to yellowing/hazing, etc.). I'm pretty sure they got sick of seeing me :D

I always cared for it with the special plastic film cleaner as recommended, and detailed the edges with a Q-Tip after each wash to remove any dirt build-up.

I used the kit again over the weekend and started getting really pissed...until I realized the chip that I could just not get the paint to cover was a tiny bug smushed into the paint :lol: Otherwise, all the chips I earned on the spring cruise and my July MN lake trip have been fixed, with the exception of one on the mirror I forgot about until after I had cleaned up. I'm sure I'll earn more on the poker run this weekend though, so I'll do it again sometime this winter!

8 months since ordering and the kit still worked perfectly, the paint and chemical just needed a good shaking.
