[QUOTE="Pep, post: 108904, member: 3248"] Some quick points: Xpel will not heal from a major puncture or rip/tear. What it does so is heal itself from marks and mars. The heat of the sun will do it as will a blow dryer/heat gun on low air flow held far enough away to make it warm and not burn it. It is defiantly more clear as B mentioned due to 3M having something in it that is almost like orange peel that can slightly change the colour of the paint when viewed through it especially after a couple of years. And all things being equal with marks etc you will be replacing 3M sooner than Xpel as 3m will yellow over a handful of years and Xpel takes much longer for that to happen. My thoughts and research and 2 cents worth. Your mileage may vary etc etc yada yada [/QUOTE]
