Its like carbon wrap, but they basically drop your plastic on a sticker of carbon wrap floating in water, works just as well as wrapping without the time and effort.

it's an absolute ball ache to get it onto the curves of the panels, it would literally take about 2 hours per panel, not worth it imo

trick is a credit card and heatgun or hairdryer it smoothes and works much better when warmed up

watch this one
