The companies listed above are not the only companies in the ppf game. There is actually Llumar and Bekaert that you have not mentioned that are manufacturers producing paint protection film.

"Which is easier to repair? (Ask for a demo on each to see for yourself, you may have to try different installers to do the test) 3M!"

-For 3M, use isopropyl alcohol and wipe down and allow to dry
-For Venture, use a hairdryer or allow to sit in the sun
-Avery can be buffed

Which product is most likely to move after installation? (Avery)
-Move? What do you mean by move? The film doesn't shrink if that is what you mean. However, their film has a tendency to lift if the edges are not dried sufficiently.

Which product has the the tightest manufacturing tolerances (i.e. clean room) 3M.
-You should certainly take a look at Avery's facility before making this assumption. 3M, Avery, and Venture are producing some of the highest quality films on the market. However, all films have thier pros and cons.

Which product is cheapest, (wholesale) Ventureshield
-No, actually they are all very close. And why does it matter @ the wholesale level? It is actually the installation that makes a big difference. However, for those who do not have much of an eye for quality, they will not notice the difference.

Based on my actual live results (Venture versus 3M) I'm sticking with 3M though your opinion may vary. It probably takes longer and more care (skill) to put on the the 3M but the results for my money are worth it.
-Actually that is not the case. (out of curiosity, how much experience do you have with laying film on cars to give this community your advice of film install difficulty?) Films with more orange peel texture tends to hide more installation flaws. Stretch marks, dimples, lift marks, silvering, etc. are all that can be hidden well with film that has orange peel texture. The clearer the film, the more difficult it is to install as they do not hide these flaws.

Although my car only has the clear film on the front bumper cover, rear fender flares and rear side of rear wheel wells I will tell you that the job Premier did on the newly painted bumper cover is virtually impossible to see unless you get down on your hands and knees to look at the RS splitters or hunt for a seam inside one of the turbo-s ducts. I couldn't be happier with the job except that I shouldn't have allowed the car to get about 10 stone chips that jump out like a sore thumb (yep, black car!). I think if you have any car done properly and cover whole area like the entire hood, bumper cover, you really can't tell its there (unless you can tell there's a film covering the stone chips that were there to begin with that shouldn't have been!) No complaints here and I won't get any more stone chips than I have now. Never compare jimmy hats with clear guard. I stick with the same woman and NEVER use a jimmy, I stick with one Porsche and would NEVER be without my clear guard!

2ndof2, I completely agree with you. I've had 3 different bra guys before I got around to Premier. The worst of the other 3 would be Clear Armour and the next best would be CS. Hands down Premier does the best work around. I was at a local meet about a yr ago and there was another bra guy sponsoring that drive. He came and asked why I didn't have the 3m treatment done. Well needless to say, he didn't even see it and after telling him I got it on, he spent a good 15 minutes inspecting Premier's job. I had them cover the whole fender, hood, and complete nose. Excellent reputation and have no complaints here either!
