Review: Still looks good after 1 year of use: field report - I purchased this film to protect my car bumber, front bumper, headlights and front grill emblem for a Lexus. The installation took me about 1 hour for the rear bumper. I took a piece about 8 inches thick and covered the majority of the part of the bumper exposed to...bumps, a diagram would look like a bracket ']' from the top. I've had this for almost 1 year and so far it's holding up without damage or yellowing. I expected yellowing to be a problem because my car is white, so glad it's still clear. You can see the edges of the cover once you get up close but not from walking distance. No one has commented on seeing it yet. My bumper still looks good, that's what I care about. I recommend that you be patient when installing. Do not freak out about the bubbles. I installed this in my headlights and when I finished it had several bubbles and water spots but they went away after 2-3 days. I think this material is actually forgiving in mistakes if you are patient and let it settle. I trust 3M products. I've used tint, insulation, and other things and 3M works great, when I install it properly anyway. So that's my point, take your time and don't freak out with the minor stuff. I'm buying more of this stuff to cover my electronics and other things. It worked great on my iPad and laptop, it doesn't affect touchscreen sensitivity. Good luck fellow DIYers.
Review: Great product, and very do-able for a novice with patience - This will be my second time to order this product. Arrived the first time as described and I saved a ton by doing it myself... certainly not impossible to do yourself, and I really do believe my final product was equivalent to any professional installation. Just use tons of slip solution, take your time, start with a very clean surface, keep your hands wet, and you can (and will) take hours to perfect it... yes its tedious work, but its worth it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used on a fiber glass boat?**
A: Yes it works great!  I have used this for the last 3 years. Put a section every area I have my bumpers so I no longer get dock rash. I moorage my boat all summer, makes gel coat maintenance a breeze.

**Q: Can this 3m film be used to protect headlights?**
A: Have had 3M clear film over headlights of my car for over a year. I've buffed & polished DOZENS of headlights on All types of cars, and THEY ALWAYS turn yellow again in a few months...UNTIL you apply a UV protective barrier, such as THIS FILM, or an Automotive grade 2k clear coat. A good wax or paint sealant will stave off plastic oxidation only a little bit. Using a film like this ( properly applied) WILL protect your headlights from all the elements. I REALLY don't think the HEAT from the light itself gets any hotter than a black paint job on a sunny day. It won't effect the structure of the film, unless you have some weirdly hot light bulb you probably shouldn't be using.

**Q: I've never done this before and plan on putting it on the front & fenders of my cargo trailer. Do we pre-spray surface with plain water or soapy water**
A: Hello and thank you for your question. Yes, the film is installation with a slip solution. You can find the detailed instruction on the solution ratios in our instructions. We always recommend viewing the installation instructions before attempting an installation, especially if you have never installed a clear bra kit or paint protection film before. You can view the installation instructions, both written and videos, by following this link: http://www.cleardefender.com/installation-instructions. Thank you.

**Q: What is the thickness?**
A: I believe there were several different "mil" thicknesses available from this supplier.  I don't remember the thickness I purchased off the top of my head. I use it on my snowmobiles and rode over 3,000 miles this winter with no issues.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product, and very do-able for a novice with patience
*by A***S on November 25, 2013*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great product, skilled process to apply to a vehicle
*by D***. on July 4, 2015*

This stuff is great, but is for sure time consuming to put on. It is a skill, if not an art to get it right. Also, at only 12" wide, it almost guarantees that you will have a seam, likely on the front bumper. These two reasons are why I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars. The hood was easy, the door sills and trunk ledge were okay, the front bumper was a pain, and the mirrors sucked. To do all of that took 2 orders of the 12"x96" material for a 2015 Mazda CX5. I honestly need to redo the mirrors. There are some good YouTube videos out there, and the Clear Defender website (seller on Amazon that I purchased from) had some good tutorials and videos. My personal recommendations are: * Plan to take your time, seriously a couple hours per surface * Use a sharp razor, not scissors, to shape to your vehicle after you've applied and tacked it down. It almost would've been worth the extra money to buy versions of this cut to my vehicle, but that cost started adding up quickly. If you have access to a 3D scanner, you may be able to define a computerized stencil that you could pre cut for your car. I didn't have one. * Get a dense rubber squeegee (amazon had it listed in frequently bought together, but I found one at the auto parts store) * Don't stretch the material too much, particularly around edges where it will be cut. The stretching can look really bad (see photos of mirrors attached). I did see a video about using a heat gun to aid in stretching before you apply to the car (that video was specific to vinyl decals, I suspect the results would be similar), but I haven't tried that technique. I will try it when I redo the mirrors. * Squeegeing is not just for air bubbles, but also for the water solution. It's easy to miss water bubbles, and then you will have to remove the adhesive and re-apply. Water bubbles are almost as noticeable as air bubbles. The final product is a great way to protect the paint job on a new ride though. I think it's worth it, but prepare top be frustrated while you are applying it. Good luck.
