just been on their web site, it seems a good idea but when polishing the car, it wont improve on the deepness of a colour will it ??

I mean red for example, its very prone to fading when left unattended so how will one improve on the colour it it's been armourfended ??

I'm sure this stuff peels at the edges aswell as i remember seeing this happen on an elise.

anyone care to offer some input ??

I do think it's a good idea if used wisley.

I had it fitted on my Sti7, never had any problems with peeling etc.. it did the job it was intended to, with the only drawback being the price (£550 fitted)

I have it on my MY00 (the previous owner had it done) and although the car is now 3 yrs old there is no sign of peeling.
The only thing that gets on my nerves is when I polish the car I get the polish caught at the top of the film and then have to get my finger nail behind a rag to scape the dry white polish powder out.
Perhaps thats me though...
The film itself does a fantastic job of stopping stone chips especially on the bonnet.

Anyone had any bad runnings with armourfend? Is it the best way to stop stone chips, can you polish the stuff?

but if you're polishing an area which has been protected/armourfended, does that mean if the paint fades, then no amount of polishing will bring up the colour ??
