Clear wrap?

Need to touch up paint on front bumper which means I need to replace clear wrap. Any suggestions on which brand is the best to use?

Thank you for the help.

Xpel or 3M, and a good installer.

My friend just had his GT4 done with Xpel .... I spoke to the installer a bit and he claims you can take steel wool and rub it all over the car - and the next day it will be like brand new ... Cant confirm this - but if its true that pretty amazing ...

^ ^ this. Xpel has a 10 year warranty against discoloration and it is self-healing. Pretty incredible stuff.

I have Xpel Ultimate with 10 year warranty, and am very happy. My installer also recommends SunTec for darker colored cars, but it only has 5 year warranty.

I used Choi out in Lansdale. He actually has a 997tt. I'll PM you his info. He did a good job, Oakes Detail did the Xpel on the front bumper of our Cayenne and I think Choi did a better job.

I had the original 3M stuff peeled off of mine and replaced with Xpel Ultimate about a year ago. Awesome product.

I have to vote for Xpel Ultimate because I like the guys there. Some of their work is below, and it's incredible. But as others have said, make sure you go to a good installer - it makes ALL of the difference. I would bet that only a really close eye could tell the difference between Xpel and 3M if they're both installed correctly. If they're not installed correctly, then you're going to go nuts.
