Long story short, we have tested a windshield protection film for a manufacturer from 5 years ago and there was just not enough durability for us at Premier to back it. Fast forward to 2010, we have been testing this new product by Prestige Films Technology who have developed a clear windshield protection film in late 2009. We have tested and used this product extensively and now are confident in its protective capabilities, but also its durability and clarity. One of our major concerns would be wiper scratches. To date, we have put over 15k miles onto our daily drivers and we do not see this as an issue. Below are some specs to the product:

Manufacturer: Prestige Films Technology
Product: Diamond Fusion Windshield Protection Film
Warranty: 2 year 20,000 miles from bubbling, fading, peeling, purpling, and cracking
Thickness: 4.2 mils
Purpose: Minimize rock chip / road debris damage & to retain OEM glass

After extensive testing, we are confident in placing this product onto our customers vehicles. For those outside of our coverage area (norcal and socal), please direct your inquiries to Prestige for local installers - sales@prestige-films.com

I wish I can have this done on the east coast!

 

Impressive...

 

You can contact the manufacturer directly to see if there is anyone near you. Email them at sales@prestige-films.com. They're pretty good with responding.

 

Here are some close ups of it from the inside. It is an optically clear product. We believe Prestige did a great job in creating a very good product that will protect our client vehicle windshields' over time.

and the cost would be ?. My current windshield is beyond repair, but would love to put this on right after new windshield and then maybe replace once a year. I've looked at tearoffs, came to about $250 for 3 layers. Optically not as great, but nice to be able to remove every 9 -12 months and have a clean window again. Windshields just get destroyed on the track
