XPEL TPU WINDSHIELD FILMINSTALLED

I've had both recently Xpel and ExoShield Windshield Protection Film so far I think the Exo is more clear with much less distortion. They are about same price for install as well. As far as protection so far no issues with either. What's nice with the Grenny is flat window so way less opportunity for distortion. On the wife's GTS we had Xpel installed and removed due to distortion but the Exo is perfect on her ride.

Thanks, this is useful. When the time comes to remove the XPEL film, I'll look at the Exo.
 
Once it’s had time to dry, please report on optical clarity and how it does with the wipers.

Where did you have it done and how much?
Preliminary report on film durability after 4 days in snowy Colorado: garbage. Despite all our efforts to nearly never use windshield wipers, we had to - especially on I-70. Now the film has a pattern of circular streaks.
I will bring the truck back to the shop, but there's little hope.

The XPel is still clear and great. I did accidentally catch the passenger side lower corner of it with the car hand wash high pressure washer spray one day. It peeled up about 3-4”. I pushed it back down and took it back and it was tight with just a couple of small air bubbles. Max removed them and warned me to not catch any edges with a pressure washer again. It is below the line of vision. So it’s fine.
Just used the wipers in the rain and they seemed to squeak a lot. I ordered the Trico Diamond blades for it. But am now rethinking them. I will check with Max and let you know.
