    3M Di-Noc Carbon Fibre Wrap.....

    I've used the di-noc and its available in the Uk direct from 3m's network of suppliers such as William Smiths. We took a 25M roll off them earlier this year at 1500mm wide and used it for roof's and body wrapping until we sourced an alternative which was just as good but much more cost...

    Well I would say it looks good wouldn't I :D I think it suits the shape really well, we wrapped 2 bonnets on Saturday one was a clio cup 182 and the other was a pug 1.9 205. The clio's bonnet had more " curve" to it and seemed to suit it really well, just like a Seat. Go on mate - give it a...

    Nope! its stuck fast! but saying that I am power washing mine regularly and if you apply a bit of common sense its fine. hold the lance 1" from the film and you'll damage it just like you will remove paint, it conforms to the panels and the seams / joints are located to take account of water...

    Yeah I stuck it up to gauge interest, another project looming to my door! It heals pretty well with minor scratches but at the end of the day its still vinyl not kryptonite! if it gets badly ripped then you can also just re-do that panel. It cover very well, if a black car is covered white...

    It deals with rough weather like ... vinyl really! its 5-7yr life product so its coping just fine! I have had one slight scratch that ripped the vinyl (don't know what from) and I have managed to "heal" it with the heat gun. the other option is to just re-wrap that panel!

    Hi Ross, Unfortunately as its my company that did the work, I cant actually reply to that as SCN deem that as trading which I fully understand. we work out of a unit in Godstone just off the M25 and co-locate our services with one of the UK's top detailers though!. Were you thinking of...

    the c/f is actually quite thick (relatively speaking) but you may still see minor imperfections where it settles into the chips the weave of this product helps with this. With a normal vinyl I'm afraid a stone chipped paint means a stone chipped vinyl as it is a thinner product and rally does...

    If you look really closely at the video you'll see that the other 2 people applying the film as well as me are Bryan from Drive n Shine and Paul from Shine on! Ironically when it came to prep the car for the wrap Paul (who's been on 5th gear hosting a piece about car washing) made the coffee and...

    Hello mate, godstone is here The gloss black is "gloss" I am not sure how to answer any fruther but its as glossy as gloss black vinyl?!?:) Roof should be half a day depends on the condition of the car and the prep required. Its worth noting that the car and film should be at the same temp...
