3M complete front End stone guard

I just got the whole front end covered in 3M clear material by MBZ dealer. The installer did a crapy job of it, they didn't clean the head lights too well and covered over the bug guts. And the mirror covers is not straight, they said that was how the pieces was cut out. They going to have to redo some of the pieces cause I'm not to happy how it turn out. I paid lots of $$ for a professional job but what I got was a ****y one. Anyone had this done and had any problem?

The problem with 3M is just like window tint, body work, or paint work...it is only going to be as good as the guy who installs it. If you find someone who knows what they're doing, you don't see any lines, etc., and you will be very happy with the outcome.

The paint should be properly cleaned and polished before the guy puts it on, too.

Get a refund & go somewhere else to get it done. They obviously don't know what they're doing.

That why I went to the dealership if anything goes wrong, pealing or turn yellow I know they will be around to warranty it. For $1800 I would think they do a better job than this.
