Bummer

Is it just problems attaching film to certain parts of the car (e.g. bumper = problem, bonnet =ok)...? It certainly seems odd - the Suntek my installer used didn't have any significant problems: he corrected some very minor defects with adhesion that popped up in the first couple of weeks. Its hard to believe one film has significantly superior (or inferior) adhesive performance. Are you going for a stealth (or some other non-conventional) finish...?

It's probably the colour ... I'm pretty sure that the film only works with LBB!!

IM me if you want the contact details of the Suntek guy that I used. His work is fantastic, and his after-sales support has been top notch. I've not been able to fault it. Note: he may be more expensive than your XPEL guys as he doesn't use pre-fab stencils (he custom creates the pattern/stencils as he goes).

Cheers!

p.s. sorry about the crappy Dad Joke
