Brand new car. Going to just protect the front of the hood, tips of the front fenders and mirrors. Using 3M Scotchguard Pro Film. Precut. A few questions on my mind:
- Since it`s precut and shouldn`t require much stretching at all, should I just use soap/water slip solution, all-in-one water+soap+alcohol solution, or dual solutions. They guy I bought the kid from said he just uses soap and water. Seems like tack solution is really only necessary when doing like a bumper with all the crevices where you really need to anchor things down?
- The kit is an edge kit meaning it stops at the edge. I could shift the placement 1/4" or so over the edge of the hood and stretch the sides to wrap around the edge. This is just a Mazda CX-5, not a Ferrari. Wondering if trying to wrap around the edges is just inviting more complication. Not sure if I`d have to slightly trim the triangular fender pieces so the back edge of the film will line up with the hood or if I can just wrap the front edge. I suspect it may need slight trimming but not sure. If I do decide to wrap around edges it seems using a separate tack solution when wrapping around the edge is probably wise or would the all-in-on work fine?
