Review on πŸš— 3M 1080 Gloss Black Metallic Car Wrap Vinyl Film - 5ft x 1ft (5 Sq/ft) by Maurice Rivera

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Never again unless the wet install method can be used.

I like it, but I won't use it anymore. First, the edges of the roll (I have 3 rolls) are not cut evenly. So if you're dependent on 12" width and need straight lines, give it up. I've used it to create 10" wide racing stripes. What I really like is that it's applicable without air bubbles after you get the hang of the installation's short learning curve. What I don't like is that it really sticks once it barely touches the surface you install it on - it's not easy to peel off and move without stretching the material when you pull it again, causing more problems when it sticks to the surface Time is smooth it out. Also, it rubbed off the microfiber cloth surprisingly easily when I was working on a small air bubble. Maybe it needs time in the sun to become more durable. I wouldn't reinstall it without making sure the wet install method with it can be used.

Pros
  • Pleasant
Cons
  • Somewhat easy to care for
