shwusyrtnts Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 I'm new to PPF's as well but I think Venture is the only one with lifetime gaurantee on it. I nevr really worked with either so this is all of my Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tigerstripe Posted March 2, 2006 Report Share Posted March 2, 2006 I have used both of those venture from what I have found needs to be waxed regularly, or else it can get a silver look, and almot an oxidised feal to it. clear shield is a little harder to work with, but has a very nice look to it. mmm is releasing a "new formula" PPF and I am wanting to try it, its suposed to be easier to stretch, and I like the clear coat mmm uses. but get partial rolls and try them all.

tigerstripe Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 I forgot to add sharpline has durashield, it goes on alot like venture, but sharpline has a better structure with their display deals for dealers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ShadyKat Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 How are you installing ClearShield? I use a little slip solution for placement then I use my jiffy steamer and a Mactac when I am ready to secure the film and that?s it. The hot moist steam really makes the film pliable and easy to handle. With that said, I have only used ClearSheild but in truth I have found the installs pretty easy so I have not really needed or wanted to try anything else. Maybe I should, but I am from the school of thought, if it isn?t broke don?t fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alltracpete Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 Go try the Avery. It installs like it has no topcoat, but does so it looks and holds up. Best of both types of films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest swanny Posted March 3, 2006 Report Share Posted March 3, 2006 You should consider the area you live in how are the winters a lot of salt and sand on the road . If I lived in an area where the weather is harsh I would go with a top coated film the only two film would be 3m or avery . You do know that most customer wont take proper care of the film so non top coated film will look bad after one winter . I would go on 3m website and find a sale rep in your area get a sample also you can call mike at pro-tect films and he can give you the skinny on avery films top coated and non top coated. me personal I would go with avery top coated film I have been informed it installas just as easy as non top coated.
