Has anyone came across this protection technology?

Looks good but watching the video it is 6mm thick once applied which may cause problems. I also dont like the idea of flat sanding or scotch brighting the car before applicationto make sure it sticks.
I think the frint bumper on the Evoque could do with some protection somehow from stone chips but i wont be going for this type of solution.

Haven't watched the vid yet (on my phone at Month) but 6mm (@bas above) seems very thick - reading the 'About' page seems to indicate 0.6mm

Humm. I'll watch it again may be I miss heard when he said the thickness.

I use Collinite 915 (a couple of coats) - last put on in March, and still beading like crazy
(needs buffing immediately, panel at a time - if it dries it's a b****r to get off !)

^ you can help with a little QD to remove if this happens

I took my car in to "Rust Check" on Regent last year for a rust proofing treatment. It cost about $120 for a small Honda.For localized and tough stains that resist soap and water, try Fantastic, and if that doesn't do it, try some isopropanol (isopropyl alcohol) available from drug stores.

Was going to get my RRE a CQuartz detailing treatment after purchase. Spoke to the detailer and he's advising that I contact the dealer to stop them from valetting the car before I take delivery as this is what causes all the squirls, holograms appearing.
Is this really the case - am I being too anal and should I just do this myself?
