I used the thicker 3M material; although the material is still intact, on Alpine White there is the slight yellowing issue and the most abused areas are rough to the touch and discolored. I believe it is a function of miles on the vehicle and road conditions, not time.

JDM....the film is porous. Road grime/snow slugh grime doesn't help.
TRY to keep it as waxed as much as possible to mitigate the *porosity*..... |

Already? Don't you have less than 10k miles? BMW really should solve this

I feel you, I think I'll have gone through an entire tube of AW touch up pain by the end. How I get chips on the roof above my windshield? Who knows.
It doesn't help that the union truck drivers are trigger happy when it comes to spreading salt. Even today at 43 degrees. What a joke

Curious. Is it replaced OOP or under warranty.....
2nd. I would seal it 1 week after install. There is still *fluid* aka - slip solution under the film that works it's way out. Colder weather doesn't help either. I'd give it a week for it to work it's way out. YMMV |

Well the snow, salt, and sand has killed the 3M i put on in november. Rockers are pretty beat up and it looks like i will be replacing the film come spring. What a PITA!!!! Northern, did you put on any mud flaps???
