[John B]

I’m currently using Solargard and I think I like it but I don’t know how it compares to others like 3m, expel, llumar etc. can you please share your opinions and experiences? Thank you in advance.

Solargard is one of the best, but in my opinion the best is Johnson series Silhouette .

You are nuts.... Imo that is.  Silhouette is not close to the best.

Johnson great stuff . Shrinks like butter.

Cars trucks and more. Just my opinion.

Thank you. 

[Guest LLumar IRX is great]

LLumar

 🙄 💩 Shitouette, I mean silhouette, it may shrink well but only sort of lasts 2 to 3 years before going purple, it turns purple just sitting in the box.

Out of those three, llumar.

Just stay with solargard 👍

Xpel, SolarFX, or Global are going to be best to keep similar pricing to Solargard.  Llumar is going to be higher priced with price increases almost every year.  3M is also more expensive and is much more difficult to install...there are many 3M dealers that can't install anything besides the base film.

There’s a lot of choices and a lot of good films. I’ve had the opportunity to work extensively with Llumar/Formula One, SunTek, Madico, and Global and a few others.  For a standard base film, Global QDP has always been my favorite. I’ve always felt it’s easy to work with and installer friendly. Looks good too. It really comes down to personal preference.

best is very relative. 

3m has been pretty problem free for me for 10 years and the support is pretty good from the distributor.

 

we have also been using the Yolo brand for a few years now as our value option and it has held up well and the support is great. 

 

Support is one of my biggest things that concerns me. I dont do flavor of the month. Support me and i stay with the brand
