3M Paint Defender Spray Film
Anyone try this stuff yet?
I just purchased it for my weekend project as it seems to be a more cost effective options for a leased vehicle, opposed to the professionally installed 3M bra.

I used it on my Grandmoms X5 2 weeks ago, so far it's holding up great!
Not as thick as my dipped X3 but, it's still thick enough for the everyday road protection!

I was think to go dipped but they don't have clear that dries without the matte look. The 3M depender says it last up to a year...does it peal off after that time is up, discolor, flake off?

Yes, Plasti dip peels off ez if you put enough coats, does not discolor nor flake off, Unless you are talking about the 3m defender which i dont have an answer about its longevity.

uhm for your F30, 850 is a bit steep, 550-650 is a good bargain. Quote:
If you apply wax underneath the already applied clear bra, it will be lose and slip thus wasting your money on labor and clear bra
