Default It has abrasives in it.

It'll put swirls in the paint. I learned this the hard way after buying my first new car (black Integra)...thankfully I only did a small area.

Default yup i know....the adhesive was stubborn and didn't have much to work with.

Thats pretty much the least abrasive product that would've taken that stuff off. I was gonna ask you what that liquid I used at your house was, but I didn't really care much......anything would've been an improvement after that nasty clear bra was removed. =)

Bumper looks great btw, w/ the exception of some road pitting prior to the bra installation. Too bad it'll have to rough through the salty winter.

Default it was installed by Armourfend. The 1st time around on my A4 bumper he used 3M...

but then the 2nd pass w/ the S4 bumper he used an Avery film. Same installer, just didn't hold up well compared to the 3M that was on the hood.

Yea I'm on my 2nd set of Xpel light covers too =)
