Not as exciting as you thought. I just got a new Mini and would like to keep the paint chips on the front to a minimum. Has anyone had experience with the ScotchGuard paint protection film (clear bra) that the dealer offered?

[b]I know many people who have had this product applied to the front of thier vehicles. Some of these vehicles are over ten years old. And I have to say, this is the best idea 3M ever came out with! Works excellently!

You might have a paint shop, or body shop, put it on for a LOT less than the dealer.

My friend bought the stuff off the internet, ebay I guess and put it on himself. Worked fine.

I never used it…but I’ve seen it…and the concept looks real good. We might consider it when we buy my wife a new car this fall.
