Did you ask about VentureShield stuff?All good arguments but I'm still going ahead with it. I understand your point Chris, but a complete paint job of the front would probably run the same as the 3M job, plus the time the car would be in the shop. And I'm still not convinced that paint job would be good as OEM. The Protection Plus is warrantied for life. Besides I'm not as critical as you guys when it comes to looks for the paint. I'm just tired of having a pitted front.
I called Protection + and spoke to Dave who was very helpful. He said the stuff they use has been purchased by 3M and is being sold by them under another name under 3M. I forget the name right now. I think the dealer is using the same stuff but will confirm tomorrow. If they are, the dealer is $10 cheaper than Protection Plus.
If the dealer is $10 cheaper, I would go with the dealer.
