Which Wrap for car?
Hi,
I have a 2012 C63 Coupe coming in soon and I want to know which wrap and which company is best. My car is diamond white so I want to be able to see the color. I am thinking clear bra but recently I was quoted from Diamond Black Exteriors and they told me they had Diamond White vinyl in both matte and satin Diamond White. When I asked they told me clear bra has more protection and Oracal Vinyl has the thickest films. Does that mean more protection? More information please? I know clear bra would turn yellow after a few years so which brand of vinyl would show or not show the diamond white best and offer the most protection? Keep in mind I will have the whole car wrapped. I heard about premier but how do their clear bra rate against Diamond Black Exteriors vinyl wrap?
Thanks,
- Huang, Yi-Chao

How thick is the film to be used?
-Clear bra's are typically 6 to 8mil thick
How difficult is it to clean?
- Clear bra can be treated just like paint
- The Satin Clear Paint Protection only requires soap and water, a spray on cleaner for those stubborn spots
What is the durability?
- A simply test that we have clients do here is grab a pen and try to poke through both materials and see how they hold up.
What type of warranty does the film you want to use carry?
- the Paint protection film that we use here at ACG carries a 5year warranty

There's a nicely wrapped US army car I see driving around by me, might be worth it if it'd get me out of some tickets though.

Premier Automotive is nearby so I'm seriously tempted to get my Magnetite Black C63 Coupe wraped in Satin Guard when I get it. Best of both worlds, a matte finish and an 8mm clear protective film in one.

Them: when will it be built?
me: Depends on what day you ask them.

Is satin guard the clear matte wrap? If so is it as much of a pain in the *** to clean as if the car was matte paint? I am sure after a year or two it will have inperfections on it that cant be orbital buffed out if it was the gloss/shiny wrap right?

This is what Premier wrote on another forum: http://www.luxury4play.com/lamborghi...cielago-4.html
1. Product has undergone rigorous testing since September 2009
2. Product R&D completed as of March 2010 and approved by Premier for our customers
3. Satin Guard is 8 mils thick (there are imitations on the market at only 4-5 mils thick) that will protect the paint like paint protection film (aka clear bra)
4. Satin Coated urethane not only enhances the aesthetics of the protective coating, but is designed to absorb impact from road debris
5. Satin clearcoat makes for cleaning a simple process (just wash and apply approved protectant)
6. Oils, tar, and road debris that typically can easily stain clear bras, will not do so on our Satin Guard - this was our main concern when developing this product. We made sure the Satin clear coat was durable enough to last.
