It's expensive initially, but worth it. At least IMO.
Everyone's happy at not having done it 'til the first rock chip arrives.

Couldnt agree more, swallow the initial investment. Smile every time you look at your bumper and dont see rock chips.

Many thanks. I'll check on pricing.
After only a few weeks I can see that this front bumper area is going to be a problem with chips Of course it's my DD but a chip magnet for sure
Any commentary on what how this holds over in the long run.... 5, 6, 7 years?

Xpell ultimate carries a 10 year warranty against, yellowing, cracking, peeling, staining, and hazing, and reimburses both film and labor in the unlikely event of a failure.

Thank you! I contacted the installer in Freehold and am awaiting a reply.

I'll get some of the Xpel stuff too. My installer was real low key when it comes to pushing his product; he had the Flawless finish material right on the shelf and told me about Maguire's liquid wax at Walmart instead. I'd prefer to have the 3M just to keep it all in the same family of product.

so hopped on the xpel site, right off the bat found a roll 60'' wide, maybe not big enough, then they have the pre cut not sure if its multiple pieces to make it easier or just cant get it big enough, your two installers know best

Yeah because the fenders are part of the hood its way more than 60". This is why I chose the temporary vs full even though I'd prefer the full. Oh well
