Default Xpel results

I was pulling into my garage yesterday and cut it too sharp. The right quarter panel brushed the edge of the doorway, leaving a scratched area and paint from the doorway paint. I was prepared to pull the film off and possibly even have to face body work. Before doing that, I try some paint thinner to see if I could at least get the house paint off. As I rubbed it on it basically erased everything. No scratches or marks at all.

It's self healing lol. If you ever do see scratches on the film, pour warm water on it. Xpel does a great job though.

That's awesome. I would love to see what kind of damage would've occurred without the ppf.

Nice... I wish the rock chip went on my clear bra as it hit the area right above where the clear bra is.... sadly. I only had the car for a week and this happened


Wondering if I should get the touch up paint pen.

Yup - it is Xpel Ultimate specifically which has self-healing properties.
