Have what was the best Xpel product at the time on my 2010 GT3 (which my son now has) and it starting to yellow. The car never sits outside and is rarely in the sun- kind of disappointing to say the least. Unfortunately the car is now in AZ and the place that did is in IA so the "warranty" is useless...

It's my understanding from the warranty pamphlet that it is a nationwide warranty. I just had my entire car wrapped and asked this question. LMK if you need me to send you the warranty pamphlet.

Will be interesting to hear skl's feedback once complete. I had similar issues with the Xpel product on my BMW 1M...yellowed as a garage queen. I followed just about everything out there as preventative maintenance..no petroleum based products on my car, Xpel branded cleaner and sealant, etc. With 4 yrs and 5k miles under my belt, it was not looking good. The challenge is that their warranty pays pennies on the $ for labor compared to what you paid on the original install...probably true for any manufacturer's warranty and not just Xpel. If you go back to the shop you installed at, they will likely manage with it as a goodwill gesture (and having made full margin on the initial work). If you try the national warranty route at another authorized installer, however, you will likely not get the same results if they are even willing to take on the project. In my case, I had it done in Illinois originally, and later moved to Minnesota. Even though I have a good rapport with the MN installer, it was still a challenge for them with the labor payment proposition. Ended up just replacing the hood and fenders and not the bumper since it is on a different plane and line of sight, not to mention more labor intensive. Best bet is trying to find a film that will hopefully keep you out of warranty scenarios...for me, Suntek has been solid thus far (also self-healing). If I ever need to exercise the warranty, I'll likely be in the same predicament.

That XPEL looks great on the OP. I've heard nothing but good things, and know that they're trusted with some pretty incredible machines. Nice to see them being active here and doing right by customers. Way to go all around!

Thinking of XPel on my new 981S. I'm in suburban Philly. My dealer Porsche of the Main Line has done many and apparently does good work. Anyone know a custom installer in the area, or should I just go with dealer? Asking around $2400 for partial front, rockers and rear fender near air intake. Suggestions?
