Default Ventureshield vs 3M : Pros and Cons of each clearbra?

Hi all,

So I've been trying to read up clearbras since I may soon be getting an IS350 and most people I've talked to said this is great investment. However, I havent seen a definitive answer on this.

Which one is better Ventureshield or 3M for use in getting a clearbra? Pros and Cons of each?

Based on what I've read it seems 3M is the popular choice but some prefer Ventureshield.

Any input would be helpful. FYI, I probably plan on going to Aerotech to get it done since they've been highly recommended.

Default

as far as i know, aerotect no longer recommends venture.

the newer 3M has a new and improved adhesive that has better UV resistance and from what i can tell (about 6 months later) is that it is much more resistant to turning yellow.


some of the pros for venture:
-stretchy - easier to work around the corners
-clear coated - looks nicer in the beginning

however francisco from aerotect mentioned to me that the venture doesn't seem to hold up very well - the clear layer shows more scratches and whatnot. i haven't used venture personally so i don't know.
