I still have 2 unopened cans of Ate SuperBlue Racing fluid (the fluid was sold up until a few yrs ago for "track use" vehicles, hence the "racing" in the name). I like switching from amber to blue each fluid flush because of the stark contrast between the gold/amber and blue colors (MUCH more visible then the gold/amber and clear).

I currently have the SuperBlue in the X, will do an amber swap when I install the new tires next week.

Prop what material do you have on there anyway? Right around the 4 year mark depending on the film it's probably getting about that time for a redo.

I've seen films go over 5 years but they just fall apart and take hours to remove as they just crumble upon removal.

The Xpel Ultimate is a damn good film which I recommend, I'm actually getting my new headlights wrapped in them before install.

It's 3M. I asked about the little bits/cracks and discoloring to the installation guy. I had seen my dad's Acura MDX that got all cracked and turned brown against the white paint. It looked horrible.

The install guy said that as few as 3-4 years ago, 3M changed the material to be more resistant to this kind of deterioration. Supposedly, they changed their warranty at this time as well. In the face of my offer to allow him to pull the current stuff away and install new, he suggested we wait and keep and eye on the coating. That was this Spring and it still looks good. I had mine done right at 3 yrs ago, so he thinks mine might be OK.

That was before bug-a-palooza across the states of Montana, Wyoming, and South Dakota. I knew I should have bought and installed that big black bra before I left. :(

At 3 yrs you're ok, you can polish the bra with a very mild polish if needed. PlastX is great for it.
