I think duggyb meant how is it to work with, how does it look and how does it perform rather than where do you get it...

 

 

lol misunderstood. 

 

i love it. If you used xpel ultimate, you'll notice that its much clearer. Idk about you guys but i have gotten some rolls of xpel that laid out like glass and then the majority of the rolls that were not so clear. So i switched to suntek ppf which absolutely laid out like glass, completely clear. I actually still love the suntek, but since i use a lot of Hexis vinyl wrap, I decided to give the body fence a go. 

 

Honestly it stretches and lays out like suntek, just without the rubbery feel. Looks like glass and much easier to cut. Pricing is awesome too. It's self healing so its up there with the suntek, xpel, 3m pro, etc. supposedly its hydrophobic, but idk. I do know that when you are rolling this stuff out be careful because the top coat is very slippery so the film and core will want to slide out.

 

OH and also, its only offered in 30" and 60". So mainly geared towards full wraps or full clips and such. Any other basic coverage such as 12", 18", 24", etc hoods or basic coverage i still use suntek just because i do not have to cut down rolls.

Keep us posted over time. I never personally offer a film unless I have tested it for about 6-8 months. Got burnt once when Lumar came out with a film... looked great for 5-6 months then became very dull. Wont ever let that happen again. But I will have to get my hands on some of their film and try it out.

The bodyfence is good in my book

 

My quick answer:  tackier than Suntek, more flexible and stretchable than Xpel.

 

Clearer than other ppf's I've dealt with and like Auto film solutions said, the top coat is very glossy.  Great stuff.

 

I did run into 1 small issue  a few installs back where the film I got might have been a lemon.  Small minute imperfections in some areas.  No worries, filed a claim with Hexis and they replaced the roll within 3 weeks.  Best customer service and their claims department is fast!

I hear Hexis will be offering different widths in the summer of 2016, not sure what sizes though

Yes. Compared to Xpel claims that takes MONTHS. Wouldve had my Bodyfence replacement sooner if they were located in the states.

      South facing windows DR film

      Install went great. I went with NV-25, I am very happy. The room has been darkened significantly, from bright and hot to much more pleasant and enjoyable. Watching TV during the day is no longer blinding, when it is cloudy it is definitely a bit gloomy, I am glad I did not go with NV-15. I plan on getting more windows done in the future to help cut down on heat energy. Thanks for everyone's input!

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      Captain Obvious has two cents err senses to share: 1) The film should be removed and replaced, because it appears to have adhesive blemishes that shouldn't be there, and 2) The film should be reviewed/inspected once taken from the roll to avoid losing time and resources due to manufacturing issues. Little pieces not so much, but back glass and windscreen pieces ... definitely.

      Olfa blades are not as sharp as they used to be

      I switched so long ago... first to KDS but they went away. NT are great though. I use a piece of white strapping material as a cutting buffer between the blade and glass. Some use a button but I didn't like the feel..

      Headlight Taillight Vinyl question... (Looking for CHROME)

      I'm looking for a chrome/mirror wrap for headlights/taillights. No NEOchrome, just a mirror or chrome appearance. Looking to spice up a project. Looking for transparent so can see lights thru film. I have looked and can't find what fits the bill. Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

      Stratos 70 on windshield, what is this?

      I can't win with getting tint decent on the windshield. I had 3M on my F150 done twice and still has major defects. Recently did Stratos twice on my F350 and I see this granular spotted, texture pattern on the tint. It's super obvious in the corner here but also right in my view when driving. It's honestly hard to point out and show someone but when your driving and stuff is moving behind the windshield, it becomes more obvious. The lighting also matters. The first time I did the windshield, I had a two foot line on the windshield. Thinking it was tint, they removed the tint and it was apparently a defect in the Ford windshield. An issue between the laminated glass layers caused this big defect. So they removed the tint, I had Ford replace the windshield on a 2024 F350 but when the tint shop removed the tint, they made a bunch of micro scratches in the front windshield, probably from scrapping the glue off. I told them but I didn't care since Ford was replacing the windshield anyways. So if basically I'm trying to figure out what this texture stuff is and if I should have them replace or remove it. Replacing it might just have different issues but also afraid they will scratch the windshield.
