I looked into it. My local distributor is not carrying it as they feel its a bit inferior to the other 3m products (this is marketed more to the retail crowd as opposed to the professional which my local distributor caters to). Once I heard they wouldn't touch it I got a funny vibe it might be good though. I would not do half a panel (like half the hood as shown in some of the youtube videos). Full panels only so no seam I think, like most things, its all about the prep. If you tape well and do it in a garage (no wind) then you might get decent results. |

I just ordered some from amazon, with the nozzle attachment thing, which is supposed to make the spray more even. I only plan to do the front bumper area, to avoid rock chips and suchlike. I'll post an update after I have time to wash/wax/spray.
