I've neglected from doing anything on the fading black plastic all over the truck because of conflicting reviews on the various products. Thanks to this forum I'll try the Maguires.
Thanks for the advice. I'll give it a go.
Had a few back CCW bands, some wind and rain, but nothing major. More towards NE TX now and Arkansas etc.,. We dodged a bullet. BUT than I am not on the coast, in center of state.
Pam and other sprays like wd-40 etc.never worked for me against love bugs(well,after about a day or say a 5-10 mile run in the bugs they dont).heck,ive buffed on new wax 2-3 times a week,ive actually wiped on wesson oil to try and combat these little suckers..nothing works say more than a day..after the 1st couple hits and drying...pain in the butt to get off.(can you tell I hate these dam things?...lol)...I've seen truckers come past my road....you can't see the driver...no idea how they can see out.I didn't read your post, so I appologize if it seemed I was busting on you...I was not. I was thinking in my head about the edge of the hood only...And living in the love bug state, Pam is your best friend in April and November.
I grew up in Pasco county when it was mostly rural...And we used to get choked with those things. I must say, you are correct, here in Pinellas we don't really get much of them. Even when i drive up to Hernando, I dont seem to see as many of them as I used to. The way I normally remove them is to soak a few heavy towels and slap them on the surface and let them sit for 30 mins...That seems to loosen them up enough to remove. Still a PIA, but not nearly as bad as I remember them as a kid.
Silly yankees....They talk about snow, and something about rust from salt on the roads. I had salt on the boat, but never on the road...
Pull Ya: Hey, glad to see U still banging around. Pretty sure U did ok ref hurricane also, since Austin got much of nuthin also,.
They did. It does not hold up long term now days. I can not tell you how many cars I have removed the 3m stuff after just a few years because of failure.
Agreed!
When 3M came out it was great. All of your new cars that have PPF that is what is on it. Even Porsches. But I did a 2020 911 it had 3k miles on it garage kept and its 3, ppf behind the door on the quarter panel was already failing. If you are going to do it spend the money and do it right with X-Pel. I have their ceramic tint on the wifes Jeep and My Flex. My Camaro is next. I have been debating doing a full front with the leading edge on my Flex since we road trip it a lot.
Would this work to protect from the occasional parking lot door chip?
This is the first vehicle I've had front windshield tint on, and I'll never go back...lol.
The link doesn't work.
If they are good you wont even see where they cut it out. My buddy Kody makes my clients that say it can't be done shocked when they can't find his cut line. If you are in the DFW area I highly recommend him.
