This Wednesday I got my new A4 2.0 T 6-speed manual Quattro.
-Moro Blue pearl effect
-Beige leather (and sunroof)
-Walnut
-Premium package
-Sport suspension
I must say, I love this car!

To protect my new car, I've been considering getting a 3M paint protector kit, but I wanted to see if anyone has any experience with the different kits out there.

Here are the kit's I've come across:
Xpel ~$420-520
Invinca-Shield ~ $285.00
RockBlocker ~ $280
Clear Armor ???

I'd like to cover the bumper as well as the hood and fenders. The Clear Armor looks.... extreme, and I'm sure it'll cost too much. Xpel looks good, and has 2 types of bumper kits and 2 hood/fender kits as well. The Invinca-Shield looks like it'll cover the most important areas, and it's a LOT cheaper than the Xpel. I e-mailed the guy at RockBlocker to see what his kit looks like.

A friend of mine has put the Invinca-Shield on his MB SLK 32 AMG and BMW M3. His M3 kit fit a lot better than the SLK kit did. The SLK hood was way too long in some parts, and needed a heat gun to stretch it, a lot, in others.

Has anyone used any of the kits on their A4? How did it fit? Any comments or suggestions with which kit to get?

Thanks,
Russell

 

I've never used them myself, but I've heard that as the paint fade and ages over time, they start to stand out.

 

ClearBra works well.
