XPEL over Diamond White Good or Bad idea ?
XPEL on diamond white good or bad idea ?
I"m thinking about bumper, mirrors and 1/2 of hood. Want to minimize road rash and chips.
Diamond White is a pain to touch up (MB touch up does not match, Dr Color diamond white doesn't match so needed to mix Dr Color white with Dr Color diamond white and I got a good match after experimenting with ratios...BTW if done correctly much better result than normal touch up with a brush or applicator ).
So...Anyone have comments as to using XPEL over Diamond White....will the Diamond White show different under vs exposed ?
Any other concerns.
THANKS

I recommend full hood so you won't see the line where it stops...I have partial hood on my 2012 Alpine White BMW 5 series and you can see the line - it's not terrible, but it's there.
