Review on ๐Ÿš— Ultimate Protection for Your Vehicle: 3M Scotchgard Clear Paint Protection Bulk Film Roll 12-by-120-inches by Jonathan Olson

CAUTION Difficult to use for an inexperienced person on a car bumper.

This product is great as it is well thought out and follows the instructions. However, there are many videos stating that anyone can hit the bumper of a car. ATTENTION! I had a really hard time making it look normal twice! First, I would pay to have a custom bumper cut for each car. This product is thin and very difficult to cut. Therefore, it is almost impossible to avoid the curves of the bumper. You will need to pre-cut the bumper by laying it on the backing with painters tape and trimming, leaving about 2 inches. It's very difficult to wrap non-vertical surfaces, so only leave about 2 inches for a curved wrap. I tried it on a Honda a few years ago, had a lot of problems and when I tried to cut it I hit my bumper. Tried it on my Kia and had more success. However, I split my bumper 1/2 and made a seam down the center of the bumper and it looks better. Use safety razor blades for cutting only. Apply loosely to the bumper (or any other surface) and do not use the squeegee until you are ABSOLUTELY ready to apply. Once you use the squeegee it gets stuck. If you move it away, you're going to be in serious trouble now. All flat surfaces such as the hood should be trimmed with scissors as accurately as possible. I also have a car on ramps and have used high intensity lights - all of which are necessary for good performance. Otherwise buy pre-cut bumpers.

Pros
  • Step by step installation instructions are available online
Cons
  • Generally good but...
