Thoughts About Garware's Self-Healing Paint Protection Film
While the idea is great, we're not entirely sure any product can protect paint from scratches. It can delay the process at best. We have no information about the life-cycle of Garware's product. Stay tuned, we'll bring me more information as soon as we test the product.
