What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

[cakM3]

I ordered a new set of headlight film today thanks to Gary's recommendation. I'm quite sure I will be very pleased with these

I'll be doing that as well! I may be able to get a discount since my friend is a detailer/installer of film!

Have them coated instead of film. OptiCoat.

I'll talk to him and see what he suggests! He is a member on here, but never gets on...

A rigid hard coat is no substitute for a soft and flexible wrap. While a rigid coat is great for minimizing scuffs and oxidizing, XPEL wrap can ward off chunks taken out from high speed frontal debris. I do a lot of highway driving and my whole frontal area are in pristine condition which XPEL is supposed to last for 10 years. Plus any light scratch the XPEL receives will self heal within minutes back to its original glossy state.

Wrap like Xpel Ultimate is great for parts that are subject to flying objects like mirrors, hood, fenders etc. However for lenses a coating would be more ideal IMO

The plastic lenses on our car are so hard and brittle. Highway crap sand blasts them to nowhere land. Lenses are pretty cheap considering the price of XPEL.

Correct, that is why I went with a resin base product from opti-coat
