Has anyone ever used or does anyone currently have the Scotchgard Paint Protection Film on their car? if so, has it damaged your paint? peeled up? Any feedback on it? Thanks

 

Was that something offered by the dealer? Those types of "protection" are good for just one thing: pumping up the dealer's profit margin. I've never heard of them damaging paint or peeling off though. They are generally just overpriced versions of the same stuff you can get & apply yourself.

 

I just picked up my 2nd xfire and the previous owner had a scotchgard protective film installed over several panels of the car. I was reluctant to buy but the seller made it a non issue through a price drop. Just haven't seen it before on a xfire.

 

I have the 3m clear (bra) protector on my 06. A friend of Andrew (one of our moderators) put it on for me right after I bought the car new. Going on 3 yrs without any hint of yellowing or lifting. My front facia, hood & fenders were free of any nicks or marks since the car was new when istalled & it still is in that same condition today. Been on interstates many times & hit with pebbles & some chunks of larger dried mud off trucks etc. & the film has absorbed all commers with no marks what so ever. I'm glad I also had the headlight covers included in the 3M install since they are as clear as they were 3 yrs. ago. Enjoy your Xfire as it is with it's protective shields. You can remove the 3M anytime you want with a hair drier set on low & patient peeling as you go, but you'll be sorry when nicks start to show from daily use after that.

 

I have it on the section of the hood between the lights. Can't even see it, no bubbles, and absolutely no nicks. Guy was out putting one on my wife's car so we did that section on mine while he was there and it was $50.00. Good deal I thought for the long term nick protection up front. I'm happy with it.
