I know 3M also has a clear one to protect you from rock chips. Its called "Scotchgard™ Paint Protection Film Solutions." I was thinking of getting it but Evo already has a bunch of chips.

this stuff would be awesome in small quantities for paint protection.....especially to be able to have color matched instead of ugly miscolored bras.....

It is so abrasive. It wears rocks and scratches out like crazy. All you'll ever see is sand!

Do you mean how resistant is it? I imagine it is just as resistant as clearbra at the very least.

Saw that from a movie but I forgot what the title is. It was a BMW M5 that has those wrap and it was driven by five hot girls from Europe. Oh, they rob the bank and was chased by PO

I got a coupla quotes to wrap my car. Single color no graphics~ $3k plus. Yes ladies and gentelmen, it's more expensive than simply re-painting it. The only upside is if they're correct in telling you that you can pull it off with no ill effects to your paint.
