I have a few questions. My car is white, so I'm concerned about the edges of the film staining and becoming an eye-sore.

1) What causes this? Just aging or leaving the film dirty too long? In other words, since the film is self-healing, can dirt "heal" or bake into the film in the sun or a hot garage? Are the edges more prone to staining from different types of dirt, e.g. brake dust vs. pollen vs. mud, and do I need to be sure I clean one off more often than any other?

2) Can I prevent staining? I have XPEL brand cleaner and sealant, will this prevent the edges from staining (along with normal washing) or is it inevitable?

I love the product by the way, just want to keep it looking good as long as I can.

I just dropped it off yesterday and I already miss it. Did it look like they did anything to it yet?

It was in the bay when I got there at 9am so I couldn't tell. I'm getting mine tomorrow morning and can take another look. What were you having done and when are you picking it up?

I'm having the front end, the rockers and the hood done with the expel. They are also doing the GTechnique treatment to the car and the wheels. It was originally scheduled to go in Monday but they are closed that day so I dropped it off early and they said they would do it when they could so I have no idea when it will be done.

I'm driving it right now, it was the only car they could give me as a loaner!

Don't worry about everybody looking at you and taking pictures of the car. Eventually you get used to it. I'm sure that's never happened to you driving your ME 2 car.

Chet- I have good news and bad news:
Good news= picked up my car today and it came out great. They did a great job.
Bad news= while there, I saw your car. Apparently they had to use it as a loaner yesterday and some guy (hhhmmmm...wonder who that was. -lol) and he did some damage to it. So today they were taking parts off a black C-7 and putting them on your car. I think it will look great. Good luck.

Just kidding. Car looked great.
Have a great weekend -Mel

That's pretty funny!!! Unfortunately I won't get my car back till Thursday but I'd rather have them take their time and do it right. Post some pics of your car. I would love to see how it came out.
