I think somebody attempted on here a while ago and said that it dripped and look like crap. That could very well be user application issues though.

For me, nothing replaces film in my opinion, but feel free to try and keep us posted bro

read lots of reviews on it a while back, and from what I gathered, it can look great IF you can get it to spray on perfectly. The problem is that it's hard to get it to spray just right so there aren't any drips and runs. I think some people were able to modify the sprayer to minimize foaming and drips, but it looked like something that was hard to get right the first try.

though it still may be cheap enough to give it a shot.

They sell a sprayer. People who used that got great results. I bought Sonax though.

To answer your question - no. I've never used it. However, I saw it demonstrated several times at SEMA. I was pretty impressed with the low cost and ease of application. It's supposed to last a year or so. Easy to apply and easy to remove. Give it a whirl, if it does not meet your expectations, write a letter to the company with details.

Semper Fi

PS - No feedback, no change.

OP, spray required lot of practice to get perfect results. if you are want spray then buy a piece from junkyard and do practice, but I wouldn't recommend spray, I would highly recommend Clear bra itself or buy pre-cut ppf. I bought pre-cut ppf and it has been fine since I put it on my car "DIY". here is my car's pic
Half hood, half fenders, headlights and front bumper all covered in pre-cut ppf.

It comes right off. But it doesn't provide any protection. It's super thin even after 7-8 coats. And it doesn't dry clear, it looks like a glazed donut on the front of your car.
