3M Rockguard on my 2010 C63

Hello everyone. I just picked up my C63 on Saturday. I live in Canada, and even though I won't be driving this car in the winter, I am having 3M clear bra put on it. The car is the Calcite White, and it looks wonderful. Here is the question:

I am having the clear-guard done on the car, full front bumper and trim, headlamps, side mirrors, and 18" on the hood. For those of you that have done this, what did you price out at? I am having this done privately instead of at the MB dealership. Thanks everyone.

You may want to go see one that only has a partial hood done in the clear bra. Some have complained about the line on the hood, might really annoy you.

On a white car, I would get the whole hood and fenders done. the 3M will Yellow over time.

There is a 7 year warranty on the Xpel product. After 5-7 years just rip it off and redo it. Acceptable cost for mint paint. I was quoted 15xx for full hood, full fender, side mirrors, bumper, headlights, fogs, A pillars and the bit before the sunroof.

Do the entire hood and front fenders - I also have my windshield done for extra measure.

Nice photo. I know that location where you've taken the pics. Its the new shopping centre at the corner of Lawrence and Don Mills Rd. I live near there. Nice exterior colour and the matching of cb.
