Goodbye Premier, Hello XPel

Had a bad customer experience with Premier, gave them a chance to fix it and they didn't. As a result, I switched to XPel and couldn't be happier. The new film is crystal clear, doesn't stain and cleans much better. Will report back on long-term durability after several months and a few more track days. The Silicon Valley Ferrari dealership has switched to XPel as well and uses a different installer.

It will stain, you just need to pay attention to what gets on it. By far the best I have seen or used.
PLEXUS does a great job of keeping it fresh
Good luck

Interesting. I've used a number of different products and installers and I'm very pleased with Premier and their film protection on my current car. I was also happy with their installers. Glad you were able to find a solution for you and your car, though.

yes they all stain. Some will last longer... some dont.. it is how you maintain it but they all stain esp on White car. Expect to just replace the film at 3-4 years...
Ive seen some white cars that look pretty good after 3 years but they all stain.
Maintenance is the key....

So do you wax over the film? What all should be done to maintain?
My RS front to the doors is cleared. Not sure what brand.

While it is possible to stain all films, our XPEL Ultimate film features an automotive clear coat that makes staining next to impossible.
You can see a perfect example in this video where we clean up film that was purposely parked under a tree and left unwashed for two months.

We also have videos available showing the stain resistance to spray paint, permanent markers, motor oil, transmission fluid, brake fluid, and other items. If you do get a stubborn stain, you are able to use much harsher chemicals, like lacquer thinner on XPEL Ultimate to remove them. Most films would be destroyed by chemicals like that.
Film has come a long wa in the past few years!

You are best off using a purpose made product or a natural wax, regardless of which brabd of film you have installed on your car.
