[QUOTE="PBR ME, post: 1324906, member: 17076"] My bet is you went to Chicago Auto Pros. They’re very good, and do a LOT of cars! Are they the least expensive? No Are they the best I’ve ever seen? No Are they a real brick and mortar company that will stand behind their work, and be there when you need them? Definitely. My point is that there are lots of “installers” that work out of their garage or cars or a small rented unit and are one man shows, and lots of them aren’t even authorized installers! This means if and when you need warranty work, they may or may not be responsive, and they probably won’t be willing to truly warranty their work. I’ve had CAP do several cars, from VW GolfR to new GT3, and everything in between. I’ve been satisfied with their work and level of customer service, so I continue to give them my business. Cheap isn’t good and good isn’t cheap! As far as what film, I’ve had suntek and XPel on cars. The suntek, while only slightly thinner, did not do anywhere near as good a job at protecting the paint as XPel did. I had several breaches in the film in only 2k miles on my gt4. My turbo s had the garage door scrape the front bumper, and it looked bad, but completely protected the paint. Especially on a truck, I’d gladly give up the “smooth as glass” finish for the protection!! Hope this helps! Edit: Almost forgot....Modesta! This stuff is the bomb!! I’ve had crystal serum on a couple cars, and while is good, it’s not even in the same league as Modesta. Both level of gloss and endurance of the protection. I have it on my new Gt3, but more importantly on my daily driven TurboS for almost two years, including all winter...even when covered in salt and scum from the snow, you can see the gloss. A simple spray and wipe with a reload type spray at end of wash keeps it just like the day it was installed. I used to detail cars for a living (late 90s/early 2000s) and am amazed by how well this stuff works!!!! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
