Default Clear paint protection

Anyone have experience \ feedback on this stuff? It's sort of pricey, so I'm looking for feedback before I take the plunge.

Thanks in advance..

I've seen quite a few people swear by it. They say it's almost complely invisible and u can see the edge at only certain angles. does help to protect against chipping which water based paint is notorious for doing easily.

Digital_Synapses has had this done to his 2011 5.0 and he loves it. Look up his thread on it.

I've had this applied to my 2010 GT and my 2009 Accord. Very high quality and durable. I also opted for the headlight, driving light, and mirror protection. If you drive on the highway this is a great investment.

Considering this stuff for my hood also. When I cleaned my car this weekend, I found 2 small chips on my hood that went down to the bare metal ='[

Ouch, I would take that straight to the dealerships door! Your car is especially new, and there should be some warranty to cover those things right? I don't know the specifics since ive never bought new, but I think you should take it to em.

Man if this is true I will be at their door this weekend. I doubt it will be covered though, it will probably be considered "normal wear and tear"

@RickyBoby - My friend had it on his C6 Z06 and it turned into a yellowish but IDK.. I still want to give it a try .. on the lower part of my bumper...

@ GrabberBlue - Dealer replaced the bottom foglights on my Roush ... one was all mest up and the other one broke due to road rocks.... You should take a trip... Maybe just maybe theyll do something about it.

All they'll do is point you to the parts department to buy some touch up paint
