Polishing paint protection film

Suntek claims it should heal with ambient engine heat or from the sun, so might just need to wait until it warms up more. If you wanted to risk it I spose you could try a hair dryer on the spot, probably safer than a heat gun. I definitely wouldn't get it too hot though...

I decided to bring to my installer for them to inspect/fix. Let y'all know.

Heat gun didn't work. I contacted the mfg and they (suntek rep) said that their paint protection film should not be polished unlike the 3M. While it does have self-healing, it is only to a certain extent. Unfortunately mine is to that extent of no going back. I guess sometime down the line I will just have to get it re-done.

Sigh*. Sad times.
