Went to seattle over the labor day weekend. Got into a slight fender bender.

Xpel got all scratched up. Peeled it off and apparently the car is fine. No damage to the paint.

However, I am pissed off at stupid teenage driver. They should have their license revoked for being irresponsible. I need to re-xpel the damn side.

what the hell is xpel?

isnt it that 3m stuff you put on to protect the car like against small rocks and such

xpel is called "invisible bra" I have it on my 02 E55. Love the stuff.

krispykrme

yes, it's the invisible bra. It actually can take some minor hit without damaging the surface. As soon as my right front was scratched, i was like, sh*t. But as luck would have it, it just scratched my Xpel.

Thanks for the "Info" I might purchase some when I get back

It is definately good for protection, but I still have a hard time getting used to its looks and the way it yellows over time. Glad to see you were able to escape with just a damaged side piece of plastic rather then a new paint job.

just curious is Xpel the same stuff as 3M? I'm looking into getting one too for my ride. This would be very very useful going to vegas cruising at high speeds.

JamE55:

Yes, it is the same basic material. Just branded under a different name. Hope this helps.

Thanks TCM!

krispykrme, looks like you live in east bay as well. Where do you xpel your car? And how much?

I got it done through the dealership (beshoff). I believe is about $700.
