As for the link, the actual company are our sponsors so there are many who use it. I know that Will "TAMR" has it done to his whole front end all the way to the doors and windshield. I personally talked to them at EOS last year and sampled the material, its absolutely amazing! The company actually had his personal truck there which had been done up. He rammed his truck into a wall on accident and chose to not fix it to show how durable that stuff is. A lot of it was scratched and coming off a bit, but amazingly the paint on the wrecked truck was fine! ha ha, stuff is crazy. I tried putting a sharp key through the stuff while he held it tight... it doesnt budge! Its rather expensive (about as much as paint costs) however its very much worth it.
Ahhh, thanks for the info on the car bra. I'll probably get that whenever I get my new front bumper..



Those are the only pics I have so far (Kinda busy). They are pretty hazy compared to the untreated side.
I wetsanded with 1000 grit, then 2000 grit and applied plastx. Did I not sand enough, sand too much, or not apply plastx correctly? (terry cloth)

Go out and get yourself some Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish and rub it on your headlight with a clean towel. It should clear them right up.

Honestly, thats about what they're suppose to look like. If you look at any DIY video on this, thats what you will always see.
