Seems like a cheaper alternative to Plastidip.

Apparantly they have a "clear" type of liquid wrap, sounds like it might be the goods for keeping my paint smick and preventing stone chips.

Anybody got any experiance with liquid wrapping there car?

I know lots of people do there wheels and they seem to out alright.

Used it. Wouldn't suggest unless you paint is absolutely perfect where you plan to use it. I had very small paint swirls on the nose of the hood and never really thought of it. Applied the stuff on. Got the car waxed and buffed. Now I got a super clean hood minus the nose of it. So.... get the paint perfect otherwise it looks funky.

Clear. Friend tried the "color matched" but once dried, looked horrible.

Hmmm

Can you describe what it looked like after you put it on?

Was it just like someone had put contact on your car?

Did it come off easy enough?

A friend at a Jaguar dealer helped is gonna help me with the next application on my new R33. I guess that's a common dealer option for their cars and he told me he'd help out to get it right. I guess if you really want it clean looking, get it professionally done. I know I'll never do it myself again. I've considered using a clear sticker thingy kit someone was talking bout but I'd think the clear vinyl would start to yellow from the sun.

Went on super clear. Looked like simple clear coat. Mask and tape off your area. Apply. Wait. Apply. Wet sand little. Unmask and wash. Wish I had a pic of it. Friends car was red. Stuff he got was supposedly color matched. Once dried, it looked deeper in color. Not sure if it was that he put on three apps or what. Couldn't tell at night but easy to see in the sun. Laid super flat and thin. He never tried removing it cause he later went to a fiberglass hood. I never attempted to take it off either. Far as I know, once it's on....it's on!

Hey TL.... I don't think you're talking about EBC Liquid Wrap? It's a Spray on Peel off coating, it's not distributed in the US and it's certainly not designed to be permanent.

With the clear, it comes in matte and glossy, so you will notice a difference between the finish of the coated area and non-coated areas.

My mistake. I was thinking of a completely different product. I didn't realize yours peeled off! I wish I had that years ago! Stuff I used was basically a clear coat paint system. Branch out man! We need that stuff here!!!! My fault for not fully researching your product. Thought he was referring to the kit I used.

Its been about a year since this was asked...

Anyone tried it yet?

How does it compare to Plasti Dip?

Mainly interested in a wheel application.

999automotive had their own option at PowerCruise but cant remember what it is called

      Strange issue RB25DET wont start

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.

      Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.

      Freddy Plenum vs Genuine options RB25

      My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.

      There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
