Clear bra/clear film for paint protection

Yes, the type of film used and the warranty is dubious indeed. The shop I quoted even admitted that discoloration to yellow is normal. I was actually expecting the clear film here in the Philippines to be cheaper, around P50K or so for a decent film, although not necessarily the high-end ones like 3M Scotchgard. However, I already contacted most of the shops and they do go over P100K for high-end materials. If using cheaper film, much cheaper, but the warranty is shorter as well.

Baka balik typical sealant protection nalang ako. Less than P10K a year pa gastos although protection won't be as good as a film. Hay. Choices, choices.

You are correct with 50k .....5yrs ago. But the prices have doubled even trippled since the popularity of extremely durable materials came about. They last 10+ years if you have a garage.

Bumping up this thread. Are Film Products like these still viable and effective if you're willing to pay the cost?

Best done fresh off the dealership on those you wanna keep long term. XPel is a good brand.

That's exactly my plan, I've been waiting for a certain CUV model to come out soon and as soon as I get it, I may consider getting Front Protection. It's the one area on all of our cars which gets the most abuse during travel.

Do these products last more than a decade now or is 5-7 years a realistic expectation of durability?

Thank you Master Trav! Well worth exploring this idea. I consider this as something of an investment. You should see how many pockmarks my old Ravie has.

Do you have this on one of your vehicles as well?
