I used a 3m clear vinyl to protect the hood and front fenders of my bmw back when I first bought it new.
5 yrs later, 3m turned milky, then to yellow, and 2 yrs after that, the film hardened like cement and cracked all over. Even w/ heat applied, I cannot peel it off to restore original paint.
For example bcos this i prefer enjoy the shining wonderful original lacquer until maybe i get realy scratchs and i want it sale just so i can still put any pads there
Yes, this was my opinion until now, as I have got my first bike "from new".
Thank you all for your opinions!
