    Clearbra yellowing on white?

    I am planning to put Ventureshield on my new TT coming in a few months, however, I am hearing many comments that on white paint the Ventureshield and 3M products turn yellow relatively quickly. I would like to hear opinions and suggestions about this from others with knowledge about these films on specifically white paint. Where shall I install it for best results? Thanks everyone.

    Re: Clearbra yellowing on white?

    Our '02 M Coupe has 3M film from delivery. Its pale silver not white, but after about 3-4 years there was a faint yellow tinge visible - would guess on white the yellow would be a touch more apparent. If we keep the car past this year we would just re-install new film though, as for the money we feel it is excellent protection in our area where winter sand/gravel gets spit up for months after spring arrives. So yes, likely some yellow after a while, but just plan on a re-install when it bugs you!

    Greta, as I said on another forum, talk to Ben and John at Metropolitan Detail (1-866-774-9299). Tell them of your concerns and they'll give you a straight answer.

    Larry, I did email John and he told me he had put the ventureshield on a white one belonging to Seattle Sun. Unfortunately Seattle Sun wrecked his white GT3 after 3 months and no longer has the car. Larry; did you get the Matrix too? Are you happy with it? I will be getting the ventureshield. One guy said you can get clear film for windshields for protection! do you know anything about that.
