Clear bra/clear film for paint protection

[travajante]

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?

Anytime. On a bud's. They're good & they've some degree of self-heal, too...Mine are humble hobo beaters unworthy of such protection investment, sir.[emoji853] But, if I were to have some collectible exotic, it'll definitely be Xpel'd.[emoji106]

Somehow, I find that hard to believe sir. hehehe, kayo pa?

Still, if it can provide good protection, I will seriously consider it. Na-aawa nako sa hood ng sasakyan namin, and if I purchase the new car I'm planning to get in a few months, I'm planning to keep it for a decade or more if possible.

If you're planning to keep it long term, it'll be worthy.[emoji106]

Hehe, thought so.

That's a good idea as well for the doors.

Thanks again Master Trav.

Clear ba yan Sir?

Clear ba yan Sir?

Oo, as in halos invisible. Only downside is pag nag wax ka ng auto, kumakapit yung wax sa edges. Pero ok na rin kasi di nagagasgas yung door pockets

Great idea as well sir Bloo. I will seriously consider that. Nothing worse than seeing a new car with scratches. It kind of takes some of the joy from having that new acquisition.

I hate the look of scratched door handle pockets. I bought mine from a Korean supplier. It’s 3M, very flexible & almost invisible. They sell those in Lazada now.

On the same topic, I wonder if there are film/ protective products that can be installed on headlights to avoid or at least minimize the yellowing and fading that often happens over time. The trick would be how they would be able to handle the heat coming from the bulbs/ projectors, etc.

Any ideas gents?

I am not a fan of chrome . For me, the only car color that fits chrome is the metallic blue of the Toyota Altis.

I and the wifey also dislike all those chrome trimmings and accessories they put on most cars nowadays.

Sabi ni 'esmi, sana daw bumili na lang sila ng Sarao kung ganun din gusto nila.

I hate to use the word "baduy" but it is what it is and anyway we're all entitled to our own opinions.

Hahaha....chrome used to denote higher, pricier trims. Not into those black nor faux carbon add-ons either.[emoji4]

Chrome is an Asian thing I noticed. But some overdo it. Chrome liners around the headlights & tail lights, chrome liners as door edge protectors..... the more, the merrier. I think it functions as a personalized thing so you can ID the car easier in a crowded parking lot?

My thought as well. I don't judge. Owner's happiness, not viewers' pain or opinion, matters most.[emoji106][emoji4]

Not necessarily sir Bloo, when I visited my brother in Winnipeg 2 years ago I saw quite a few cars with chrome bling-blings so maybe it's not exclusive to Asians. Then again, it could be possible that the owners of the cars where of our race as well. LoL.

The flat black accessories I don't mind so much, but those faux carbon fiber ones make me shake my head and smile wryly. Why try to claim it for something that it obviously is not, I wonder? Self-deception or just a lack of reliable information?
