18 months in, and still looks brand new, even after 8500 miles, 2 track days, 4 BMW CCA road trips, rain, couple of late night drives through bug apocalypses, a day or two of snow, and even a light hail storm!

Need some pics that aren’t saturated to hell. Every single one is crayons.

Sorry BroD, that's how it looks with my Android phone. No need for saturation. The sunlight does a perfectly fine job.

Reminiscing about the warm summer breeze and blue sky on Mt. Hood this past August. Now, it's covered in deep snow and icy roads.

It seems like BMW factory paint is thin and highly susceptible to rock chips. How is this AutoFlex material? Any chipping or does it absorb impacts and indent similar to a PPF?

It absorbs hits better, and if you heat it up with a blow dryer most nicks can be self healed by gentle rubbing.

So it's like a whole car 3M clear bra that looks like a new paint job. I'm 20 months in, and it looks brand new.

Rocks are rocks, but with AutoFlex, my base Black Sapphire paint job is completely protected. And in the meantime, I get a fabulous San Marino Blue M2.

Looks fantastic!! I was thinking of getting my car wrapped but if this is a cheaper alternative I’d be interested. There’s an auto flex dealer about 4 hours away

I highly recommend Autoflex! Much better than a wrap.

Mine's been on for two years this month, and looks brand new.

Looking into this as I don't enjoy my car color as much as I thought I would, San Marino would be my first choice. Would love to see this in person some time, being in the PDX area.

I had some questions about the Autoflex, and was curious if you've had any experience some detailing techniques with it. They basically come down to chemical resistance.
- Any issues with an isopropyl alcohol wipe down (or something like CarPro Eraser)? This is part of my typical steps after polishing and before coating paint. Concerned about it stripping it off.
- Tried an all-purpose cleaner around it? I use this in my engine bay washes, also concerned this may also start stripping it.
- Have you washed it with a pressure washer? Same concern as above.

May just have to talk to the installer or the company itself over these detailing methods.

Haven't tried alcohol based products. It waxes like normal paint, and alcohol would strip the wax. It washes and waxes like normal paint, although I always hand wash all of my cars.

Dom at Rose City is the guy to talk to. I'd be happy to show it to you. PM me.

I'm amazed by this concept. What did you do for your door jambs?

What is on the front nose of your car in this picture?

I had the option of removing the doors and painting the jams, but decided against it. Since the car is black, no one has ever noticed!

The car has a "Novistretch" on the front. Breathes great. But protects from rock chips or minor track debris. Snaps on and off.
