Woha, that looks GREAT! I`ve never seen anything like it! The paint doesn`t look like paint at all- it looks like a smooth, pliant, soft surface! WOW!

Gotta admit - I like white colored cars (my truck is proof positive) - but for Benzes, white`s a classic. It just seems to fit them that much better.

Great shots! Try this as far as layering - put on a coat at night, before you hit the sack, then wipe off in the morning. The extra time seems to do wonders - I can`t prove it scientifically, but if it`s not, the placebo affect was reward enough

Wow looking excellent! What would make it even more stunning would be once you get about 4 coats of SG on it then apply a layer of Pinnacle Souveran and then you will be amazed for sure

Can someone educate me or point me in the right direction on protective clear film to cover most of the painted surfaces with clear film?

1. What are the best brands?
2. What should I watch out for?
3. How do you maintain the film?
4. Does it look as good as paint if I take care of it?
5. Do you wax, seal or plastic polish it?

IMO the best brand is XPEL Premium. Comes with a lifetime warranty.

Make sure the installer has a substantial installation background.

Maintaining can be tricky. Because it`s plastic, it scratches and swirls very easily. So maintenance is not like paint. I`ve use plastic polish with some success and sealed with BFWD.

Fact: It will never look as good as paint. Not even from day 1. It will never shine like paint and it will get less shiny from that point on.

You can use plastic polish, wax or sealant, or all of the above.

My only objection is that it doesn`t look like high polished paint, even on it`s best day. That`s why opted not to install it on my new Vette. I bought a $150 nylon stretch bra for long road trips and it works fine for me.....

Not trying to trash that product, some guys love it!:cornut:
