Had paintshield on my khizzie from new .paintwork still bright and just the odd chip on bonnet .not bad for ten years old. Would recommend it..but as said it isnt cheap .as for internal with scotchguard its ok ,but do it yourselves.its only takes half an hour and the stuff costs less than a tenner a,spray can ....RoyThe paint protection that the dealers offer is a two pack product such as diamond brite amongst others , to physically protect your MH against stone chips then you need something like Paintshield , Paintshield is not cheap but it does work.

But you are writing from your experience not what somebody down the pub told you, I believe ours was also done with something similar but as we got it used I don't know what, but what I do know is that it cleans up lovely and the front fibreglass is the same colour as the rest of the body which I have noticed is not the case with a few other Flairs that I have seen of a similar age (10 years).Totally different from what I found.but hey I have only had it on test for the last ten years ,probably not long enough for me to recommend it..

yes its flexible enough to apply to complex shapes ,im going to have the front of my MH done not sure about having the whole 8 meters done as the cost will be prohibitive. The main market for the product is high value cars such as McLarens,ferraris, etc etc ,the film is cut using a graphtech plotter,instead of a pen it has a diamond tipped cutting tool that cuts the shape out of a roll of the film, it is applied using a solution that allows it to be slid and stretched into place and the edges are then sealed.Interesting post LOD, can you tell me if it's flexible enough to apply on motor homes and caravans?.

But if you hadn't had it done what would it be like, would you ever know? The guy I spoke to was not a man down the pub, he was the foreman of a motor home body shop. I had ours done with glam shield, inside was good , outside was never worth it £350 !!, never againTotally different from what I found.but hey I have only had it on test for the last ten years ,probably not long enough for me to recommend it..
Steve (1) I didn't say anything about you talking to a man in the pub . Please read my post . (2) had my van done 10 yrs ago ,and its like new. ,so don't need to even think what it would be like if it hadn't.(3) mine didn't cost me £350 it cost £600 .ten years ago ..think about it .if you want the best you pay for it...RoyBut if you hadn't had it done what would it be like, would you ever know?

That's very interesting, it is an actual film applied to the vehicle - a sort of high tech Fablon.yes its flexible enough to apply to complex shapes ,im going to have the front of my MH done not sure about having the whole 8 meters done as the cost will be prohibitive.

My plan is to have the front of my A class done and to use a good quality wax on the rest of it

Paint protection as you well know is not the same as stone chip protection and that was not the theme of the thread ..i agree there is very little on the market to protect from stone chips. .so I stand by my original statement as regards paintseal on my van. Roy.We all have a right to our opinions so here's mine..... I do bodywork and paint for a living, If I had a Euro for every customer who presents their vehicle to me for stonechip repairs to front bumpers I'd be very rich......They all famously quote..." I cant understand how the paintwork got chipped like that....I paid dearly for paint protection system when buying it new?? ".....
Roy l bought what was offered , glam shield and I stand by my statement of it being rubbish on the exterior, I'm no expert , maybe I should of researched it better , but there is more to life, of all the statements here I thinkSkyron has the best idea, colinite 476 and scotch guard , cheaper too but as you say , you get what you pay forSteve (1) I didn't say anything about you talking to a man in the pub .

It stops your grip sides from rusting@Khizzie....So we agree nothing is going to stop stonechips....So what then does this paint protection actually " Protect " against?
Its a three layer film,it has UV stabilisers in it and is stretched into place , im not sure of the chemical composition, it is used on a great many cars in areas that are prone to stone chipping , i.e. wheel archesThat's very interesting, it is an actual film applied to the vehicle - a sort of high tech Fablon.
Grp sides ,bloody predictive textIt stops your grip sides from rusting
