They're in Fremont, not exactly close to you but I know they use Venture Shield which is better than 3M.

There is also a new product available called jacobs urethane which is supposed to be crystal clear but it's double the cost.

3M is very good film, but has a tendency to have more of an orange peel effect than most. 3M constantly perfects their film so it's not going to be surprising if they have the best film for a time then falls behind the competition. 3M and Venture both make very good films. Venture is a lot more forgiving than most. Venture and 3M both have their pros and cons. One is not necessarily better than the other depending on the application and what color car you have.

There are only a few clear bra vendors out there I can vouch for and do quality work and stand behind their workmanship. There's our own exclusive clear bra vendor Aerotect here in SoCal, or there's Omega up in Pleasanton in the Bay Area. Not sure if there is any good ones out in Fresno but you can ask the local dealerships and shops who they prefer.

Aerotect has installed clear bra on all of our Lexus vehicles. My own personal IS300 and GS350 and my family's 04 RX330, 05 RX330 and now 08 RX350.

+1 for AeroTect. Can't go wrong with a business who stands behind their work.

I can personally vouch for Omega also in the Bay Area. There are installers in this area who charge double the price for mediocre work but Vince at Omega is definitely an vendor that does very high quality work at a very affordable price. He does exotics and whatnot also but the thing that I like about him is that he doesn't see the need in bragging about it. Vince is a very down to earth and modest guy who does great work.
