Folks,

I've had paint protection film on my GT3 for the last six years now and at the weekend i took it off as it was yellowing terrible and looking quite ratty. The good news is that underneath, it's done it's job and the car looks brand new. I am thinking about getting some new film applied to the car again, and was wondering if the technology has moved on over to further prevent yellowing ? I read somewhere in the bowels of the internet that yellowing was never actually the film, but the liquid glue they used under the film to apply it to the car ?

Any comments ?

With apologies for not answering your question, I am considering having my PPF removed too and wanted to pick your brain. Presumably you had it done professionally? If so, by whom and what did it cost? From your post, I'm understanding that it came off cleanly?

Mine has also been on for six years so I am interested in your experience - many thanks in advance.
Sorry for late response. I removed it myself, very easy and no special tools required. Car looks brand new underneath.
