Armourfend - a good investment!

[krisdelta]

A few weeks ago someone brushed across the front of my car with another vehicle, and despite my initial horror - a replacement of the scraped armourfend and a nifty polish from Trinity Aston was all that was required.

Without the armourfend, I'd be looking at a nose / wing respray and a very grumpy insurer. (There was no "damage", but the amourfend saved the lacquer / paint)

So not only does it stop stones / heavy flies - pretty good at fighting off vehicles too!

Usual cracking job by Trinity - who kindly got me to / from the station and turned my car around in < 7 hours. Car back to its shiny best and tucked up in the garage.

Cheers

Kris

Well worth having protection as you've just illustrated. Glad the car is back to its glorious best

Looking good for a training bra car Simon

The day they make car bonnets & wings from the plastic that the film is made from all of the spray shops will be out of business. Accident sir, pour hot water on the wing and it will return to the correct shape. I think I will buy a container of kettles

Good work Trinity

Doesn't have the be water. Any heat. On sunny days the good Lord will heal your car - car heal thyself

Good point. You can use your hairdryer as an alternative

I guess I can't borrow one from you or Kris

Probably a daft question - but what happens on a hot day, driving through country side or motorway, plenty of bugs hit the front end. Would they be encapsulated into the armourfend - with the self healing heat from the sun?

That's not funny - that's hairism

Armourfend isn't self-healing, only Xpel Ultimate from Paintshield does that. Bugs just wipe off. The self healing is for when you get scratches on it or swirl marks from cleaning etc. They just disappear over time but go in seconds with heat.

It would have to be a big bug to scratch the film

Either would be suitable, although a Phaal is best

You'd have to ask Nick

I suspect worst case the pheasant would be nicely shrink wrapped ready for the freezer!

The last pheasant I hit didn't need plucking. It lost all its feathers from the shock! Bloody country bumkins. Try running them over, not shooting them. Saves lots of plucking time

[Cockernee]

But he's not a pheasant plucker.....
