How is it better? Optical clarity? Less orange peel?

I have XPEL on my XC90 and it's fine for a daily driver. For a car that I want to look amazing all the time, I think it's insufficient as the orange peel is substantial.

My detailer recommends ClearGuard Nano SR. I saw it side-by-side with XPEL; the ClearGuard had much less orange peel and was much better at resisting staining from a permanent marker.

It is very clear and no orange peel and we did a 911 black and 911 grey and amazing finish it is like I put CQuarts on it and a very smooth finish.

I never noticed any issue but I have only used Xpel Ultimate film on all my vehicles. What Xpel film line are you referring to?

I did my C63 AMG last year and it was and still is perfect. I never had an issue with the film itself. I am getting ready to have the GT350 done along with their new IR window tint. I have mine done at the Corporate office in San Antonio. Very good folks.

[MENTION=19587]derand[/MENTION]--putting CQuartz on ppf doesn't inhibit the film's self-healing ability?

I checked the older rolls and looks a little off white and the new rolls are clear so I know the difference and the application is way better and just the touch and feel is great it's like Suntek to the touch.
