Looks great Phil!

Ventureshield film I assume?

thanks! you have been doing a ton of clear film yourself as well.

the guys I have doing the work for us now are great.

Rickrack

It's a must have, especially here in New England. The roads are absolutely awful and it doesn't take very long at all for cars to be covered in stone chips.

I have been doing lots of clear bra installs and just signed up as a sponsor, so I will be posting some jobs up very soon.

Happy New Year!

that's great!

Very nice.

I just had my front bumper repainted about a month ago. How long should I wait before doing clear bra on the there? What's the going rate (more or less) these days?

detailersdomain

most suggest 30 - 45 days.

Phil,

Do you think goo-gone is safe, or only stick with 3m?

I believe it should be okay that being said I have not used Goo Gone.

That being said you will probably need to polish out the area after you debadge.
