Jake Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I use it also. I was thinking the same thing today. Smells like finger nail polish remover to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sidewinder Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I just use 3M 8984 adhesive remover, followed by iso alcohol. Never tried an 'edge prep' product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pro-tect mobile Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Yeah I have tried it.. it works but I cant say its 300% more tacky... which I tink is what is claimed. I have found IPA works well for me... so I stick with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Invisibra.net Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 If using a kit, it's rarely used. I could not push the limits on my custom installs without it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XPEL Jeff Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 It is actually quite a bit more effective than a clean surface and alcohol, but the strength of the edge prep depends on how much is used and how quickly the film is squeegeed down. If you apply it liberally and lay the film down within 30 seconds, it will really grab the surface aggressively. If you apply a little bit or wiat a few minutes, you will notice a difference. If you don't lay the film down within about 10 minutes, you will lose the benefit almost completely. It saves a lot of time on wrapping edges!

pro-tect mobile Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 Well that explains why I didnt notice a difference. I was probably waiting too long to wrap the edge to get the benefit. Guess I should have read the instructions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speed Posted September 10, 2012 Report Share Posted September 10, 2012 You are supposed to wait 15 seconds for it to set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twotint Posted September 13, 2012 Report Share Posted September 13, 2012 You can use pro bond also it seems to work nicely. 3m adhesive promoter isn't tacky enough for ppf in my experience. I haven't tried the xpel stuff since I have pro bond for wrapping edges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firestorm Posted October 2, 2012 Report Share Posted October 2, 2012 3m primer 94 sticks, or trim-guard TG1 activator, readily available at body shop suppliers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
