I have tried various products on my car and have Xpel on my H. Covered on the nose (ahead of A-pillars), the rockers/lower inlet and the hips in front of rear just like my Porsche. You guys are making me think I should do the whole car.

Question(s) for the folks with experience. I recently purchased a Huracan with 1,500 miles that has had the entire vehicle covered w/3M clear bra sine new. Every single painted surface of the vehicle is covered. I like the idea, however it is the first car I have owned to be covered this way. I am thrilled that the clear bra protects every painted surface, but there are some areas that need to be addressed. Little edge coming up, dirt under the surface, edge areas, etc. How do folks fix this?
How much does covering an entire car typically cost? Is this something a professional installer/detailer can address? What have others done in this situation?

To cover the entire car I'm sure is pricy maybe 2500 or so I'm guessing. I paid 1500 for my entire front to be covered. They told me it takes 10 days to completely settle & then they will check the car again to fix any edges that may have cured oddly. Also they did it very good to the point you can not see any edges really they go all the way to the end of every panel. They said some installers do not do it that way because they don't know how to get it to not mess up but the issue with that is that you see the lines here & there & it gets dirt under the lines so then they become very visible. In your case I'm not sure how you can get the dirt out. I would say loop up a very pro & detailed clear bra installer that installs all the time & take the car to them they should be able to fix it up for a small fee.
